Annual Diversity Report – July 2018
Illinois Public Media (IPM) shall complete an annual report of the organization’s hiring goals, guidelines, employment statistics and actions undertaken to satisfy the IPM Diversity Eligibility Policy and post the report on the WILL website or make the report available for public inspection upon request.
The IPM Annual Diversity Report and eligibility policy for September 2018 was, revised and reviewed by the IPM Community Advisory Committee (CAC) at their meeting on September 11, 2018, and no further revisions were made in FY18.
IPM Diversity Practices and Initiatives to meet Diversity Goals
- Recruit and retain a diverse workforce and provide equal opportunity in employment.
Ten searches to fill full-time vacancies for an News Reporter (9/29/17), Assistant Chief Broadcasting Engineer (10/30/17), Assistant Corporate Support Director (10/30/17), Business Finance Coordinator (11/17/17), Education Reporter (12/04/17), Visiting Senior Engagement Strategist (01/16/18), Producer Director (01/22/18), Visiting Digital News Producer (05/23/18), Art Director (06/16/18), Senior Producer Director (07/2/18), following the equal employment guidelines of the FCC. Diverse recruitment sources were utilized in an effort to attract qualified candidates from underrepresented groups. The search guidelines of the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Access (ODEA) were followed to maintain a fair and open hiring process. These guidelines are available online at http://diversity.illinois.edu.
- Diversity training for management and staff.
IPM supervisors and managers are encouraged to attend diversity awareness workshops offered by the University of Illinois during the academic year. Additional diversity awareness training is provided to search committee members at the beginning of a search process for each hire to ensure the fair, unbiased evaluation of candidates and to improve recruiting efforts for qualified, diverse candidates.
- Diversity in Illinois Public Media internship and work-study student opportunities.
Two minority work-study students were hired from the University of Illinois to work on the WILL-TV Production crew this year. These students are given the opportunity to learn and improve technical skills in camera operation, floor direction, teleprompter operation, and call-in phone coverage for live studio productions.
Additionally, two or three work-study students from the University of Illinois are hired annually and trained to handle customer service and provide staff support for various departments at the stations. Through this work, students learn a great deal about different aspects of the broadcasting operation,
including radio and television programming, development/fundraising activities, marketing, production, and an overview of the technical areas covered by broadcast engineering and operations.
Six interns worked in the WILL Radio News and Public Affairs departments during this reporting period and received course credit from the University of Illinois. These media research, news reporter and public affairs program producer interns received mentoring and training from the IPM news and public affairs staff and News Director.
Of the twenty-four interns and work-study students in FY2018, nine were female and four were from racial or ethnic minority groups.

The diversity statistics for IPM staff and CAC members have not appreciably improved since FY2018. Four CAC members finished serving their terms, and the vacancies were filled for the coming year. IPM will continue to make efforts to recruit and interview qualified diverse candidates for these hires. In nominating and selecting members of the Community Advisory Committee, IPM management strives to identify individuals who will represent all the culturally and racially diverse communities that we serve, including rural areas, small and mid-size towns, and the University of Illinois.
