Whenever I’ve switched on they seem to be wasting a good chunk of it on Matt Baker’s Entourage for the Rickshaw Challenge. Or something equally as unimportant.
> “We will introduce a new target for 25% of our staff to come from low socio-economic backgrounds by 2027, to ensure our workforce is more representative of the audiences we serve,” the BBC said in a statement.
Wonder if they’ll have the savvy to work with / set up feeder schools for this goal.
Without them it seems like they’ll be hoping to find appropriate talent based on the prayer it exists – I’m not sure how many people from low socio-economic backgrounds go into media production or the kind of roles the Beeb hires from but it seems a little niche. If people aren’t being trained in it (because they’re not interested or can’t find a route in) then the BBC will be up shit creak when it comes to hiring them. Can’t hire what doesn’t exist.
As long as it does not include foul-mouthed older Irish men whose family include tax avoiders, not an unreasonable aim.
Only took 100 years for them to realise they don’t hire working-class people.
