One of the worst kept secrets in TV & the world of diversity is officially out. Next month we launch the Sir Lenny Henry Centre For Media Diversity. A group of academics and senior execs have been talking about it for a few months now. March 25th is D-Day broadcastnow.co.uk/home/lenny-hen…
The centre will:
1. Create an open archive of diversity publications by academics, broadcasters, unions & trade bodies.
2. Build & support institutional memory of best practice.
3. Conduct new & focused research on diversity.
4. Offer analysis on diversity initiatives & policies
This Centre is only possible due to the collaboration of academics and senior figures in the UK media industry. It's announcement took us a little by surprise and so do not have permission to name all who have worked so hard to make this happen, but plan to do so.
It is based at Birmingham City University @bcumedia and was possible due to support of @BCUVC and the core committee includes @TVMarv and @DianeKemp1 and of course @LennyHenry. I've been wanting to tweet this pic from last year when it was finally agreed for ages
To say I'm excited about this is biggest understatement ever. It was my birthday yesterday - in my mind the best present for everyone working in TV diversity for a little while :)
