Diversity in media and media management

Hannover: Institute of Journalism and Communication Research (IJK) (2022), 65 pp., bibliogr. p.57-65
"It seems that it is not easy for media companies to be more diverse. But it is important. A few companies are trying to appear more diverse in public but there is still much to be done. In the United States, Europe or Germany, minority groups are underrepresented throughout. Here are some of our key findings: There is a significant lack of studies on diversity in the media industries besides studies on gender diversity; the distribution of money in the media industry is biased; the media indsutry is lacking bipoc and women; white males are defining the media industries; there needs to be diversity in management before there can be diversity in content." (Key findings, p.37-41)
