Edinburgh TV Festival: Diversity is put front and centre
Diversity and equality were at the heart of discussions last week when TV titans rolled into Edinburgh for its annual festival. The flagship industry event tackled the issue head-on, centring largely on disabled representation and black talent. This comes after a new report revealed this week that disabled people who work in the British TV industry face “consistent difficulties” when it comes to career progression, with 80% of those surveyed saying their disabilities have adversely affected their careers.
