Diversity and fact-checking/content moderation are the current hot buttons in business culture wars. There’s plenty of very loud rhetoric around these issues, and it’s easy to find. Today, two of our contributors set aside politics to look at them from practical angles.
First, Jeanne Jennings examines how content moderation can impact consumer trust. She says the step away from fact-checking on Meta and other platforms is a symptom of a growing disconnect across digital channels. The real issue, she writes, is “How do we balance the principles of free speech with the need for trust and accountability?”
Extensive research already proves diversity is good for business. Steve Petersen says diversity of work experiences is key to martech team’s success, too. You need specialists and generalists working on marketing challenges to get the best results.
