Rapid Response Task Force
In order to more directly combat biased journalism, the NLGJA formed the Rapid Response Task Force. This team of journalists addresses any news piece that readers report as being offensive or inaccurate and informs writers and readers of the correct terminology, which furthers their mission of equality and helps to “spread awareness about issues facing the LGBT community”. In order to report a biased or offensive story, readers simply email the link or a description of the article to the NLGJA and the problem is evaluated.
