The Associated Press Sports Editors Racial and Gender Report Card, which

evaluated over 75 newspapers and websites is intended to measure the changes in racial and gender hiring practices compared to previous years. The 2018 Report was published by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES) at the University of Central Florida and was requested by the Associated Press Sports Editors (APSE). This was the sixth time the APSE requested that TIDES review the data related to its current staff and employment practices.
