News summary

The BBC has announced new creative diversity commitments, increasing representation targets for TV production teams from 20% to 25% across ethnicity, disability, and socio-economic diversity. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to ensure that on-air storytelling authentically reflects the diverse audiences in the UK. The BBC will invest a minimum of £80 million annually in projects that meet its diversity criteria, building on the £243 million already spent over the past three years. The Sir Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity has provided recommendations that include publishing annual intersectional analyses and ensuring productions meet new Inclusive Production Principles. These principles include providing specialist hair and makeup for diverse performers and ensuring accessibility on set. Charlotte Moore, BBC Chief Content Officer, emphasized the importance of diverse-led indies in enriching British storytelling.
