This report, in collaboration with Accenture, features for the first time a compilation of the state of diversity and representation in the media, entertainment and sport industries. It assesses the state of diversity across content and creative production in five key sectors: gaming, TV and film, news and publishing, advertising and sport and sport media, and presents conclusions on where new focus is needed.
