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
