Here’s an overall chart for diversity in the UK TV industrypic.twitter.com/hreGufM5MJ
NB reason the percentages don’t add up to 100 in my initial tweets is because some employees choose not to disclose their ethnicity, plus some data is missing
Here’s Ofcom’s main chart about diversity in the UK TV industry as a whole. Interesting to also see how well it’s doing in terms of employing people with disabilities (ie not great)pic.twitter.com/7HMlqEk2gu
According to government stats, England and Wales is 80.5% white British. However, most media companies are still based in London. In the capital, 44.9% of people are white British.https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/uk-population-by-ethnicity/national-and-regional-populations/regional-ethnic-diversity/latest …
Some of Ofcom’s recommendations: -Mend the ‘middle of career’ pipeline for BAME employees -Aspire to reflect the working population of the region that the broadcasters’ workforce is based in. -Ensure measures are in place to represent employees from BAME backgrounds
The full report is here https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0028/166807/Diversity-in-TV-2019.pdf …
I’d like to see data from @NetflixUK @PrimeVideo @Disney_UK on the diversity of their UK workforce. I’ve found stats on Netflix’s site but only for the US for some reasonpic.twitter.com/jzYIoXTwsK
Here’s the makeup of Netflix US - not Netflix UK (Ofcom can’t regulate them as they’re based in the Netherlands)pic.twitter.com/gZddFI3WJj
