DE&I efforts by Australian media not translating to on-screen targets: Magna

While many Australian media owners have made efforts to improve Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DE&I), for most of the major broadcasters, these efforts have not yet translated to improvements on-screen, according to Mediabrands’ intelligence unit Magna.

While 80% of broadcasters and radio networks consult or partner with advocacy groups to ensure accurate representation, have a DE&I lead and all of them have a DE&I policy, only 20% have benchmarks for diverse talents and 40% publish diversity statistics for casting talent.
