Diversity

Mission Statement

“CBS is committed to building and nurturing an environment that values diversity throughout the entire company, as well as the entertainment industry at large.

Recognizing the power and influence the company carries through its nationwide reach of network programming and local television stations, CBS has been on the forefront of making diversity a reality through a wide array of initiatives targeted to writers, directors and actors including mentoring, workshops and talent showcases. Additionally, an extensive array of news apprenticeships has been designed to bring more minorities into the journalistic process. Also, a program of internships has been created in order to provide opportunities and exposure to many areas of the corporation.

Internally, CBS continues in its efforts to create a workplace that is representative of the American public.

In realizing this important goal, CBS has forged important partnerships with many organizations throughout the industry. Diversity is best achieved through a collaborative spirit.”
