In a media landscape where women often lack adequate representation, horror is unique in its focus on female protagonists — though not without controversy. Horror films have been known to dehumanize female characters, reduce women to victims and punish expressions of sexuality. Frequently, slasher films such as “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (1974) and “A Nightmare on Elm Street” (1984) are quick to kill off women depicted as sexually active, contrasting with more celibate women’s survival.

The Nexus conducted a survey of the demographics of our editors and writers in May 2024 in order to gauge community representation within our staff, in line with the Nexus’s internal diversity, equity and inclusion goals. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion became a permanent initiative at the Daily Nexus with the establishment of the Diversity Task Force in 2020.

The Daily Nexus has made a dedicated effort to uphold the values of diversity, equity and inclusion within our publication and in our coverage. In 2018, we initiated our first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion survey to measure these efforts and have continued to do so each year. This report, last issued in 2023, serves as a detailed review of these efforts. We aim to make this data available to the public because we are committed to transparency in our practices, coverage and staff demographics.
