About Emmis Communications

Emmis was founded on the underlying beliefs of diversity, inclusion, and opportunity for all. Emmis acknowledges that systematic racism exists and supports the fight for justice and equality. As an active partner in this cause, Emmis pledges to take swift action against any act of racism, whether it occurs in our hallways, over the airwaves, or in print. People of color—including our employees, customers, and clients—must feel safe, valued, and supported.

Emmis will build on these goals by:

Recruiting and promoting a diverse workforce by training managers to source, develop, and mentor individuals of all colors.
Creating a safe work environment that values both dialogue and dissent.
Diversifying Emmis’ vendors and community partners.
Continuing to collaborate with minority-serving institutions.
Empowering internal diversity champions who can facilitate open discussions and lead suggestions for improvement.
Together, through both our words and deeds, we will stand as a civic leader that helps show the way forward on one of the most important issues of our time. Our founding principles demand no less.

11 Commandments of Emmis
Quite simply, the Eleven Commandments of Emmis are the guiding principles of our company: it is how we operate daily, how we treat each other and our customers, and what we expect of employees and potential employees. The Eleven Commandments of Emmis, created by our Founder and Chairman Jeff Smulyan in the early years of the company, provide the guideposts of company philosophy, and are still as relevant today as when they were written.
