1. Mississippi Public Broadcasting Diversity Statement

Mississippi Public Broadcasting (MPB) believes that diversity is about learning from others who are not the same, and that differences such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies can enhance the work we do in public media. We believe that as a diverse and inclusive organization, recognizing the unique and multiple perspectives of our employees, we can better fulfill our mission to serve the diverse population of the State of Mississippi. As a public media institution, our message is enhanced by our diverse workforce where everyone is empowered to make a difference. 

To build and sustain a diverse workforce, MPB strives to attract, develop and retain the best talent from a variety of experiences and backgrounds and to provide a culture of inclusion where all individuals feel respected, are treated fairly, and have the opportunity to excel. Our work environment encourages learning from others to capture the advantage of unique perspectives

Equal Opportunity Employer

MPB’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is reflected in its employment policies: MPB provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
