Diversity in Stock Photos
Allison,
Thank you for responding. I don't believe the skill of keyword searching has the profound change on finding diversity in images as we hope. For example, I am looking for a professional female making a phone call. My first search was "female business call", which in the first 20 images pulled up 2 men, 0 women of color, 2 brunette women, 14 blonde women, and 0 businesswomen (see screenshot).
I then searched for "African American Women Phone Call" to push for results with women of color. The first 20 images came back with 0 women of color, 0 women faces, and 17 white hands holding a cell phone.
I don't expect the global issue of racial diversity to be solved in the next 5 minutes, but I do expect that the content library could better represent the professional community that utilizes your amazing tools. I also know that change doesn't happen with only one person, but it can start that way. So again I ask, what can we as an Articulate eLearning Hero community do to enhance the diversity of stock photo supplies?
