The Meredith Whiteout (Patreon)

Yesterday, FTVLive told you about some promotions at Meredith, including a new GM named in Phoenix. 

The company also named Todd Brown the Chief Revenue Officer and has Gary Brown as their VP on News. 

But for Meredith this is about as brown as it gets. 

We have called out other media companies for their lack of diversity and we need to to the same with Meredith. 

Looking at the corporate structure of Meredith, you'll see that the common denominator is "white male" and that is just plain sad. 

Here is a quick breakdown as we see it: 

Patrick McCreery, President (white male)

Doug Lowe, EVP Broadcasting (white male)

Todd Brown, SVP and Chief Revenue Officer (white male)

Gary Brown, VP News and Marketing (white male)

Lisa Taylor, VP Digital Revenue (white female)

Chris Perrino, VP Traffic (white male)

And station General Managers:

Lyle Banks, WGCL/WPCH (black male)

Kevin James. KPHO/KTVK (white male)

Chuck Poduska, KCTV/KSMO (white male)

Mike Murphy, KMOV (white male)

Adrienne Roark, KPTV/KPDX (white female)

Gary Yoder, WALA (white male)

Dale Woods, WSMV (white male)

Les Vann, WHNS (white male)

Julie Zoumbaris, WNEM (white female)

Dana Neves, WFSB (white female)

John Hesslein, CBS/ABC/Fox Western Mass (white male)

Of the 17 people listed, only one is black and just three are female. 

Media companies love talk about their diverse hiring practices, but the higher you get up the food chain, you can clearly see this is not the case. 

It's time that Meredith and other media companies start addressing this issue and making a better effort to find and promote women and minorities into top roles within the company. 

Just saying....
