Black Britons lack creative control in TV documentaries, according to report
10.02.2022 - 23:33 / nme.com
the report examined 275 documentary programmes between April 26 and May 21 last year, after numerous broadcasters like the BBC and Sky made pledges to increase their diversity on-and-off screen following the death of George Floyd.The report found that race and racism were the leading topics when a documentary featured a Black person, followed by crime in second and music in third.“The representation of Black people is not varied or nuanced enough,” the report reads.Black professionals working on the documentaries also expressed concern that the commissioning of “Black programming” is still mostly seen through the interests of white commissioners. They believe the issue is compounded by a lack of career progression among Black media workers to positions of editorial control and commissioning power.The report also states Black documentary filmmakers often have to push back against stereotypical representations of Black people on projects, and that Black voices are often pigeon-holed into talking about race.Black production company owners were also not given the same opportunities as non-Black production company owners, the research found.Maxine Watson, executive producer and former BBC commissioner, who contributed her thoughts on Black representation in the industry, said: “When TV talks about a ‘broad audience’ they are really talking about the broad white audience.
So that means making sure niche or targeted subjects are done in a way that will appeal to that audience.”She added: “It’s easy for people to deal with tropes about particular groups of people because that’s what the media does. They believe the audience will understand crime and the urban music scene or sport and racism.
