The Guardian has announced the appointment of Nazia Parveen and Aamna Mohdin as community affairs correspondents.
The new roles reflect the Guardian’s commitment to reporting on issues of race, diversity, inequality and community cohesion and will encompass news and features journalism across a range of digital, print, audio and video formats, say the publishers.

Katharine Viner, editor-in-chief, Guardian News & Media, said: “It is important that Guardian journalism reflects the diverse communities which we serve and these important new roles will enable us to drive and strengthen our reporting on minority communities.”
Additionally, Mark Rice-Oxley has been appointed executive editor for reader revenues, coordinating editorial involvement across a wide range of digital revenue streams and products; Frances Perraudin is appointed a deputy editor on the national news desk; and Alan Evans becomes acting head of environment.
