大象传媒

The extent of British broadcasters commitment to diversity came under the spotlight at a Royal Television Society event last week entitled, Diversity: Job Done?

A year ago the 大象传媒 Director-General Tony Hall unveiled plans for on and off screen BAME representation at the 大象传媒 and the setting up of new Independent Diversity Advisory Group. As part of Hall鈥檚 initiative the 大象传媒 has set up a 拢2.1m fund to help BAME talent, on and off screen, develop new programmes. Channel 4 announced its 360掳 Diversity Charter in January. Sky鈥檚 diversity program aims to have at least 20% of the stars and writers of its UK-originated shows from a black, Asian or other minority ethnic background by the end of the year.
