Broadcast Newswrap #7 Black Lives Matter
In this special edition of the Broadcast Newswrap, the team analyse the impact of the tragic death of George Floyd, and the subsequent response of the Black Lives Matter movement. Pioneering film-maker John Akomfrah spoke to international editor John Elmes to discuss how now is the time for the sector to really act and push for radical change. Senior reporter Max Goldbart is then joined by reporter Desiree Ibekwe and editor-in-chief Chris Curtis to drill deeper into the situation with diversity and inclusion, considering what broadcasters and indies alike can do to instigate a true shift.
