Diversity: Job done?

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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Director-General Tony Hall unveiled plans for on and off screen BAME representation at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and the setting up of new Independent Diversity Advisory Group. As part of Hall’s initiative the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has set up a £2.1m fund to help BAME talent, on and off screen, develop new programmes. Channel 4 announced its 360° Diversity Charter in January. Sky’s 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.

In this extract ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ UK Black’s Devon Daley speaks to Tunde Ogungbesan, the new Head of Diversity Inclusion and Succession at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½.
