[comtv-l] EHRC - Ofcom Guide to increasing diversity in television

[CMA-L]

Today the Equality and Human Rights Commission and Ofcom launch a new joint
publication on increasing diversity in the media. The document will be
launched at the Edinburgh TV festival in a discussion session with Ed
Vaizey and Trevor Phillips.

Our creative industries lead the world and it’s important that the most
talented candidates see a job in television as a rewarding career, yet the
figures show that some groups may be experiencing barriers to getting into
the sector and progressing when they get there.

The television industry has long been aware of the need to increase
diversity, both on- and off-screen. This is important, not only so that the
industry can attract the best talent, but also because of the unique role
television broadcasting has in shaping and reflecting our society’s values.

This guide has been drawn up in the knowledge that many aspects of the way
the sector operates are unique and require solutions which will work in
that context. It is aimed at decision-makers within the industry, at
independent production companies as well as broadcasters, talent suppliers
and others – from production managers to legal and business affairs
executives, directors and commissioning editors.
