How diverse is The Daily Nebraskan?

What the shuck is happening?

Every year, The Daily Nebraskan's Diversity and Inclusion Board conducts an annual newsroom diversity report. We collect demographic data such as race, gender, sexuality and more to give a clear picture of the representation — or any lack thereof — in our newsroom. This is the second year of doing so, and we have noticed little improvement in diverse newsroom representation.

Local all-girls punk band, Estrogen Projection, is anticipating their first house show on Oct. 8. With this new journey as a band, the musicians are excited to share their talent and pure unbridled punk rage with the rest of Lincoln, Nebraska.

Friday calls for yet another instalment of editor score predictions, and this week is no different. Hear from Landon Wirt, Martin Herz and Jason Han, the leading score predictor in Nebraska media as of Week 6, for how they feel Saturday night's showdown with No. 9 Michigan will pan out.

What better way to recap Homecoming week than with a Daily Nebraskan alum? On this week's instalment of Scarlet Fever, co-hosts Grant Hansen and Landon Wirt are joined by Omaha World-Herald writer Dirk Chatelain to discuss Nebraska's beatdown of Northwestern and looming matchup with No. 9 Michigan. Landon and Grant then give their own perspectives on Husker football, and close the show with volleyball talk and takeaways from Nebraska basketball's opening night.
