Robyn Vinter, editor-in-chief at The Overtake on diversity, business growth and investigative journalism for millennials

At Newsrewired this coming November, we will hear from four newsrooms that are hiring diverse talent because there are genuinely good business reasons to do so, like bolstering your reporting and being trusted by the public.
