Introducing Greater Diversity News (GDN)

Message From J. Travis Reep,
editor in chief, GDN formerly The Challenger

GreaterDiversity.com and The Challenger joined forces in December 2003 to expand empowerment coverage of economic development, diversity news and research, community enrichment, human resources, as well as minority supplier news and business leadership advice. To begin this important union The Challenger changed its name to Greater Diversity News. The new name marks the beginning of a more focused approach to economic empowerment coverage for minorities and women as it relates to employment, education and business, as well as providing employers and human resource professionals with important research related to diversity outreach. As a member of the National Minority Supplier Development Council, we have also expanded news coverage of workforce and supplier diversity.

The name change was a major step towards reaching the next level for our company. Although we have aligned our content with GreaterDiversity.com and diversified our outreach beyond an exclusively African American perspective, the new GDN continues to focus on issues related to the National Black Family Empowerment Agenda. We do not plan to change NBFEA coverage and will keep the page dedicated to the Agenda’s growth. We will maintain our current standards of excellence while offering our readers more diverse empowerment perspectives with new sections like Diversity News and Research for employers.

Our new sections take away little from what we currently offer but they do add a lot: Front, Commentary, Business and Economic Development, Education and Career, Diversity News and Research, NBFEA, Spirit, Life & Culture. We are sure you will find the new and improved Greater Diversity News to be an equally enriching publication, offering African Americans more while reaching across ethnic barriers to unite larger groups of marginalized people. The more eyes we can see a particular situation with, the better we will understand and master it.

December 4, 2003 is the official date of the name change. Thank you for your ongoing support. •
