An executive producer at America’s largest owner of radio stations, iHeartMedia, advertised a job Thursday by stating “we are looking at only diverse hires at this time.”

Molly Socha, executive producer of custom podcasts at iHeartMedia, made the statement in an email sent to a listserv interested in the New York City radio industry and obtained by CNSNews.

“Diversity is incredibly important to our team and our company so we are looking at only diverse hires at this time,” Socha said while describing the podcast editor/engineer position to members of the listserv.
