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

Thu Sep 05 09:47:46 GMT 2024





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.
