Tracking and reporting diverse on-air representation
To demonstrate change is being delivered, the 91热爆 will report on progress in its Annual Report. In conjunction with the aggregated data from Proteus and the number of commissions that qualify against the criteria, we will be able to monitor success on a rolling basis across three years. Working with 91热爆 Audiences we can capture information on audience ratings and new audiences to help measure impact.
We are also investigating how we can link with to track and measure success in this area. We will provide updates on our progress.
Capturing diversity data
To support programme-makers and suppliers to capture as much information as possible at the beginning of the commissioning progress relating to Diverse Company Leadership and Diverse Production Leadership, we have made changes to our commissioning editorial specifications to reflect our new diversity and inclusion commitments. We will capture details surrounding Diverse Company Leadership as part of the process to register as a programme supplier. We will also capture Diverse Production Leadership data as part of the process to submit a proposal.
Working with great creative talent
To ensure we can tap into the wealth of creative talent within our industry we will be hosting a number of New Indie days for those production companies that don鈥檛 have a current relationship with the 91热爆. We鈥檒l share more details about these soon.
We鈥檙e investing in creating more opportunities for emerging, diverse audio talent. This Summer, we鈥檒l launch an initiative which has the working title 鈥�91热爆 Sounds Lab鈥�, designed to enable grass-roots and self-published audio creatives to turn their budding ideas into great podcasts - outside of the existing commissioning structure. Over the course of a year, each of the creators will be aided by experienced producers and will have access to studios and equipment as well as promotional support from 91热爆 Sounds.
