This special edition of Ethical Space addresses the lack of ethnic
diversity in the British media. With a focus on newspapers, the
book identifies the reasons for a shortage of minority ethnic
groups in mainstream journalism and newsroom management. It also
considers the effects of this shortage on media representations of
minority groups. The project arose from an Economic and Social
Research Council-funded seminar series on Widening Ethnic Diversity
in Journalism. The seminars were unique in assembling diverse
perspectives and fostering interactions across the social,
industrial, academic and educational landscape. The contributors to
this special double edition reflect this diversity by representing
key dimensions of the subject: the mainstream and minority ethnic
media industry, journalism education and academic research. While
focusing mainly on the British context, the volume also contains a
major section on international perspectives and outcomes which echo
several issues about workforce diversity identified in the UK news
industry. The aims of this book are to: assess industry-led
strategies to address under-recruitment of Black and ethnic
minority (BEM) journalists; to facilitate dialogue between
educators, employers and BEM representatives about increasing BEM
recruitment; advance scholarship about under-representation of BEM
groups; identify policies and schemes to attract BEM recruitment
into key roles in the media; and inform the development of policy
and practice in government, media industries and journalism
education and training to increase the representation of Black and
ethnic minority communities in mainstream newsrooms and raise their
participation and profile in civil society. Guest editors: David
Baines leads the Journalism section of the Media and Cultural
Studies group at Newcastle University while Deborah Chambers is
Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at Newcastle University
