In partnership with The Guardian Foundation, join us for an action-focused
discussion on how to improve diversity in the news media.

We all know the importance of representation and equal opportunities in the
workplace. All too often, incentives to expose diversity inequality within the
media, while well-meaning, conclude with predictable and vague promises that
something needs to be done. Programmes such as those led by The Guardian
Foundation have pioneered newsroom talent - but what more should the industry do
to encourage, and retain, talent from all backgrounds?

In this livestreamed event, our panel will be putting forward a positive
discussion that is based on the cornerstone that a diverse workforce is critical
to the success of any news organisation that wants to truly reflect and serve
society. Gary Younge, professor of sociology at The University of Manchester and
former Guardian editor-at-large, will be chairing our panel, which includes
Guardian leader writer Tania Branigan and current Scott Trust bursary recipient
Hibaq Farah. Further speaker to be announced.



The Guardian Foundation is an independent charity that aims to increase access
to the media for underrepresented voices. To find out more about their work and
