[Commlist] Report on the BBC's creative diversity commitments

The Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity has just published a timely 
report on the BBC’s creative diversity commitments

Authors: Professor Panayiota Tsatsou, Nina Robinson, Dr Joanna Abeyie, 
Dr Aurora Herrera

This report, commissioned by the BBC, presents a research review of 
their £112 million Creative Diversity Commitment which was launched in 
April 2021 and ended in March 2024. Specifically, the BBC asked the Sir 
Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity (LHC) to review aspects of the 
commitment and related matters, such as the impact of the £112m 
commitment on under-represented talent and diverse production, the 
external messaging about it and lessons the BBC could draw for the future.

Through desk research, a survey, interviews with both key stakeholders 
and academics, and secondary analysis of the data available from the 
BBC, the research team of the LHC obtained findings and reached 
conclusions that provide well-grounded support to the following series 
of recommendations on how the BBC should best design, promote, implement 
and monitor future investments.
