I appreciate the comment of @zulfat4council too.
“We got the apology. That was nice and dandy, but that’s not enough,” Suara said. “For us, it’s making sure it doesn’t happen again.

We are planning to work with Muslim leaders on diversity, inclusion & equity training for sales & news staff and work hard on anti-racism work.
Our editorial board is meeting with Muslim leaders and following up with more steps after that.
We know we have a lot of work to do.
