In a recent UK news broadcast, a white reporter appeared to mistake a Labour Member of Parliament (MP), who is Black, for another MP who is also Black. This shows the dangers of a lack of diversity in workplaces. It is not the first time that such a mistake has occurred: a week earlier the same television channel had mistakenly shown footage of LeBron James in their coverage of the death of his fellow basketball star Kobe Bryant. A recent report showed that only 14.8% of that television channel's workforce were from a minority ethnic or racial background. Media organisations in the UK should take this as a wake-up call, and take steps to ensure that the diversity of their workforce mirrors that of the wider population.
