What We Do
Established by Vox Media with funding from the Google News Initiative’s Innovation Challenge, "Language, Please" is a living resource for all journalists and storytellers seeking to thoughtfully cover evolving social, cultural and identity-related issues.
You might be a copy editor looking for a deeper history of a sensitive word; a writer rethinking who your beat is serving; or a manager trying to make a tough call on deadline. The challenge is the same: Language is ever-evolving, and the words we choose to use can have lasting, consequential outcomes.
“At a time of changing standards, our aim is to provide the greater context of these debates, dig into some history you might not have known about a term, connect related terms, and inform thoughtful decision-making.”
