Nope, not decided yet. Partly because I don't think it's as simple as the % of black presenters on TV as a whole needing to exactly mirror the % of black people in the population, football coverage being the most obvious point.
Are they over represented? I'd like to see figures to back it up rather than gut feeling.
Check back over the last few pages. There is evidence of it. But think of the proportion of sport TV coverage compared to the prevalence of sport in 'real life' and it might go a fair way to explaining.
What's your name - BB or art? Lolz
You really only read what you want to read, don't you Mr Jinx.
Edit: Tavy didn't provide the data, I did. And it backed up Tavy's claim.
It's likely very difficult to tell. Because TV presenters will be different depending on what people are watching, Saturday night BBC TV is still largely white, because most people in the country are. Other programming will vary. I'd suspect that it would be mostly white people presenting a show on Heavy Metal, but I'd expect an Indian presenter to present a programme on Bhangra, or a Black presenter on a reggae show etc etc
It would be interesting to know the figures re. the representation for state educated working class white people. It would be rather typical of the middle class liberal elites who run the media to keep the door open for their own kind whilst patting themselves on the back for their efforts with working class black people.
Of course the same insinuation could never be levelled at the proprietors and presenters of the right wing media echo chambers could it?
