In times of trouble, tolerance can be low, which is why diversity in media content and practice is a crucial factor in fostering social cohesion and preventing conflict. The report, ‘Media4Diversity: Taking the Pulse of Diversity in the Media’ introduces the driving forces affecting social cohesion, the role of the media in both impeding and advancing the diversity agenda and summarises key examples of policy leadership at the EU level.
The report also presents the objectives and methodology underlying the survey, and showcases 30 initiatives according to the areas of activity they want to strengthen, improve or develop, i.e. Journalism (initiatives aimed at including diversity in the editorial process and improving the quality of journalism), Production (improved diversity related programme production, creative approaches and multi-media formats), Employment (performance in recruitment policy and career advancement that reflects diversity), etc. Several hundred initiatives were mapped through on online survey and an active collection, networking and interview process were carried out by the Study Team.
