As companies retreat from DEI commitments, the biggest stories may be found not in official statements, but in the quieter shifts that follow: who gets hired, who gets promoted, which programs disappear, and how opportunity changes for women and marginalized groups inside major institutions. This session will explore how reporters can uncover those stories, spot the gap between rhetoric and reality, and track the long-term consequences for workforce equity, leadership pipelines, and corporate power.
