Diversity in Media Awards 2017 will be hosted by BBC Newsreader Jane Hill at the London Waldorf Hilton Hotel. The media is a powerful everyday tool to inform, entertain, inspire, report, investigate and campaign. It surrounds us from billboards to television programmes, news stands to radio, and every corner online. What we read and hear shapes our worldview, influences our opinions, and forms part of our identities. Yet too many voices seem to be missing from these conversations. Older women are elbowed off our television screens in favour of younger faces. Working class voices are rarely heard, neither are the views of people without academic qualifications. Those who do stick their heads above the parapet are often bullied and abused for their differences, instead of celebrated for their achievements. The Diversity In Media Awards recognise and celebrate the voices that accurately reflect the society we live in. To encourage and inspire people to pursue a career in the media by shining a light on role models and best practice. To be proud of our voices, and to speak up, for ourselves, our communities and for others.
