“The writers of the late twentieth-century era were somewhat homogeneous: British or American, white, well educated, mostly male. (Thankfully our ranks are now more diverse, although we still have far to go.)”

There is zero reason to write this. It reduces the value of your posts. Be a great wine writer, not another activist.

Dear Meg, I do hope you are building a school to teach all of these skills! Something that bridges the ethics and reporting lessons of J-school and the literary toolkit of an MFA program. LMK. I'll be the first to enroll!
