Race Matters: Widening ethnic diversity in journalismThis special 
edition of Ethical Space addresses the lack of ethnic diversity in the 
British media. With a focus on newspapers, the book identifies the 
reasons for a shortage of minority ethnic groups in mainstream 
journalism and newsroom management. It also considers the effects of 
this shortage on media representations of minority groups.

The project arose from an Economic and Social Research Council-funded 
seminar series on Widening Ethnic Diversity in Journalism. The seminars 
were unique in assembling diverse perspectives and fostering 
interactions across the social, industrial, academic and educational 
landscape. The contributors to this special double edition reflect this 
diversity by representing key dimensions of the subject: the mainstream 
and minority ethnic media industry, journalism education and academic 
research. While focusing mainly on the British context, the volume also 
contains a major section on international perspectives and outcomes 
which echo several issues about workforce diversity identified in the UK 
news industry. The aims of this book are to:

    * assess industry-led strategies to address under-recruitment of 
Black and ethnic minority (BEM) journalists;
    * to facilitate dialogue between educators, employers and BEM 
representatives about increasing BEM recruitment;
    * advance scholarship about under-representation of BEM groups;
    * identify policies and schemes to attract BEM recruitment into key 
roles in the media; and
    * inform the development of policy and practice in government, 
media industries and journalism education and training to increase the 
representation of Black and ethnic minority communities in mainstream 
newsrooms and raise their participation and profile in civil society.

Guest editors: David Baines leads the Journalism section of the Media 
and Cultural Studies group at Newcastle University while Deborah 
Chambers is Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at Newcastle University
