What ALM Reporters and Editors Expect from Law Firms and PR Pros In 2021: Part II

By Gina F. Rubel
March 01, 2021

At the end of 2020, I had the opportunity to interview seven members of the ALM Media editorial staff. This is Part II of a series of questions with answers provided by:

|
  • Hank Grezlak, Editor-in-Chief, Regional Brands & Legal Themes
  • Victoria Hudgins, Reporter, Legaltech News
  • Lizzy McLellan, Senior Editor, Business of Law, ALM
  • Molly Miller, Chief Content Officer, ALM
  • Max Mitchell, Bureau Chief, The Legal Intelligencer
  • Gina Passarella, Editor-in-Chief, Global Legal
  • Angela E. Turturro, Esq., Special Sections Editor, New York Law Journal

Here is what they had to say about what they want and expect from law firms and PR pros in 2021. (See Part I in the February 2021 issue.)

What are your expectations as they relate to diversity, equity and inclusion?

Gina: We started a new series called Diversity in the Raw that is powerful. It includes real, honest and raw accounts of individuals' experiences with race in the profession. It's both from outside of ALM and from members of ALM. Zack Needles started a regular Law.com round table series on DE&I, discussing a range of issues. It will be a big theme through our Barometer coverage, a new weekly newsletter tied to several themes around Legalweek NY, including diversity. We have started an internal newsroom diversity committee that is generating a ton of ideas on our diversity initiatives at ALM, for our external coverage, and for source development. ALM Intelligence, headed by Patrick Fuller, is looking closely at diversity. I suspect we will be more closely tracking metrics around gender and race. We also will be tracking the in-house role in this space.
