Fox News has been reeling from sexual harassment as well as racial and gender discrimination scandals. Recently, the company reached a settlement to the tune of $10 million with 18 employees who alleged discrimination based on race and gender.
The sexual harassment complaints had led to the exit of Roger Ailes, who was CEO in 2016, along with Bill O’Reilly. Following the departure of Roger Ailes, the CEO position remained unoccupied.
Fox News is said to have made changes to its work culture, which have included setting up of a meditation room and the introduction of compulsory training to prevent sexual harassment and transphobia. However, some in the media industry believe that these changes do not carry much weight as the core culture at Fox News still remains the same.
