It's fantastic news that my former colleagues at the @LHC4MD have been picked to review the @BBC's much publicised £100m+ diversity fund. If anyone can separate the noise from the signal, they can!

New report from @LHC4MD: Diversity statements in job advertisements to attract Black and Asian candidates into mainstream news organisations are failing to have any impact and in some cases are counterproductive.

Absolutely fitting.
We’re cheering you on @LHC4MD
Congratulations Marcus.
It is a massive honour and privilege to be named in the #Variety500, an index of the 500 most influential business leaders shaping the global media industry, for the work I do at @FilmTVCharity, @RADA_London and more.

Interesting points in this review.
Next year though before a review of cuts to local radio.
@LHC4MD
We have today also released our sixth annual report on the BBC’s performance.
This comes as audiences continue to move online, with the BBC having to adapt to meet their changing needs and expectations.

Really productive @LHC4MD advisory board meeting.
Once again, delighting in the expertise we can call on. ( @marcusryder we need to photoshop you in!)

3 and a half years and counting..
Our Head of External Consultancies, and one of the founding members of the centre, @marcusryder, is leaving today.
Things won’t be the same without you, but thank you for helping to build a strong foundation that we will continue to build on.

Today is my last day at the @LHC4MD and I am feeling a little emotional.
It has been an amazing adventure and I believe we created something which is quite unique.
Please read my final blog post for the Centre and what I believe we accomplished. bcu.ac.uk/media/research/sir…

Over 3 years the @LHC4MD has proved why the UK media industry needs to fund an independent body on diversity & inclusion. It's in everybody's interest.
In my last blog as Head of External Consultancies for @LHC4MD I explain why.

Bit of a strange day for us at @LHC4MD as it’s @marcusryder ‘s last one with us.
We’ll miss him.
But he’s not going without a few reflections. Please do have a read

Our head of external consultancy, @marcusryder, is at @EdinburghTVFest discussing crisis facing freelancers in UK Film & TV sector. At the @LHC4MD we’re determined that diversity is at the centre of these debates because workers from underrepresented groups are most vulnerable.
