Media watchdogย GLAAD is launching two new programs — and two key hires to go with them — in response to “rising threats” against the LGBTQ community in the age of Trump.
Rich Ferraro has been named GLAAD Chief Communications Officer, returning to the organization afterย a stint as a senior director in communications and public affairs at Viacom.
Ferraro will oversee the newly-created News & Rapid Response department, which will work in real time with journalists and outlets at large to “ensure that the media is accurately and fairly representing LGBTQ people in its reporting,” a GLAAD spokesperson told TheWrap.
