Grammy Awards pledge to hire more diverse candidates for 2022 show
Fox News
The Grammy Awards will adopt an inclusion rider that will require producers to recruit and hire more diverse candidates backstage and in front of the camera for next year's ceremony.
Academy President and CEO Harvey Mason Jr. called the concept a "monumental step" for an inclusive music community. The full inclusion rider will be released publicly on Sept. 16. The rider requires Grammys producers to audition, interview and hire onstage and offstage people who have been historically and systematically excluded from the industry.More Related News
