Oona King og Frans Jennekens – kl 13.50 onsdag den 26. januar

Oona King og Frans Jennekens, medlemmer af European Broadcasting Unions mangfoldighedsgruppe.

• Oona King er kreativ mangfoldighedsleder for Channel 4 i Storbritannien.
• Frans Jennekens er leder af mangfoldighedsdivisionen i NTR, som er Hollands offentlige broadcaster, svarende til DR i Danmark.

Titlen for sessionen var: ‘Public service and cultural diversity – An inclusive industry gives better programmes, is fairer and makes commercially sense’
I løbet af de seneste 10-15 år har de offentlige broadcastere i England og Holland arbejdet strategisk med mangfoldighed både i forhold til programmer og medarbejdere. Erfaringerne fra henholdsvis Storbritannien og Holland, som de to oplægsholdere fortalte om, er, at større mangfoldighed og en mere rummelig rekrutteringsstrategi skaber bedre og kommercielt vellykkede programmer.
