Editorial Content Diversity Policy

Purpose

At Hudson Strategic Technologies, we are committed to creating and sharing content that reflects the diverse perspectives of our team, our clients, and the communities we serve. Our Editorial Content Diversity Policy ensures that all published materials—whether internal, client-facing, or public—respect and represent inclusive values, voices, and viewpoints.

Scope

This policy applies to all editorial content, including but not limited to:

  • Blog posts
  • Marketing copy
  • Thought leadership articles
  • Social media content
  • Press releases
  • Client case studies
  • Training and knowledge base materials

Core Principles

1. Representation

We aim to represent diverse identities, experiences, and voices across our content. This includes diversity in race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic status, and cultural background.

2. Inclusive Language

We use language that is:

  • Free from bias, stereotypes, and assumptions
  • Respectful of individual identities and communities
  • Gender-inclusive (e.g., using “they” as a singular pronoun where appropriate)
  • Accessible to a broad audience, avoiding jargon or exclusionary phrasing

3. Content Review

All editorial content undergoes a review process to:

  • Ensure alignment with our diversity values
  • Avoid unintentional bias or harmful language
  • Include diverse perspectives where relevant

4. Contributor Diversity

We actively seek input, quotes, and stories from a diverse range of contributors, clients, and experts. Our goal is to ensure that no single viewpoint dominates our content voice.

5. Visual Content

When using images, illustrations, or videos:

  • We strive for visual diversity in race, gender, age, and ability.
  • We avoid tokenism or stereotypical depictions.
  • We use stock photography and design elements that reflect real-world diversity.

Ongoing Commitments

  • We will regularly review our editorial content to identify areas for improvement in diversity and inclusion.
  • Our marketing and content teams receive training on inclusive language and unconscious bias.
  • We welcome feedback from readers, clients, and team members to help us create more representative and respectful content.

Feedback & Reporting

If you notice content that may conflict with our diversity values, please contact our editorial or HR team at ethics@hudsonstrategictechnologies.com. All concerns will be reviewed with care and confidentiality.

Policy Review

This policy is reviewed annually by our leadership and communications team to ensure it evolves alongside our values, audience, and social expectations.
