Included should be include because you are not supposed to change the tense from present to past tense in a sentence. If you are using present tense you should stay with present tense.

Also your sentence does not make sense. I would change it around.

Who is Mary Gold? Is she a top delegate, a recipient, or both?

Are the journalists recipients?

I would write: John also mentioned to top delegates such as Mary Gold that recipients of the report would be various journalists.
