You might find this a weird thing for a talent company to say. But we don't believe it's all about who you know. We think it's just as much about *what* you know too. We make it our business to watch everything on telly, ask a lot of questions to all the different companies we work with, and find out what exactly they want from someone in a certain role. That way we can think differently about the 'who's we do know. #tvproduction #mediaproduction #tvjobs #diversityequityinclusion

What actually is TAP? (Apart from some funky dancing shoes 🕺👞🎶) TAP (The TV Access Project) is a commitment made by the UK's top broadcasters and streamers to make the film & TV industry fully accessible for deaf, disabled and neurodivergent (DDN) people. To reach TAP's target of full inclusion in TV by 2030, they've developed a set of guidelines for the industry to use as standard practice: ✨ The 5As ✨ 🚀 Anticipate → Expecting to regularly work with DDN people and proactively including them in the hiring process 🚀Ask → Sensitively asking every cast and crew member about their access needs as a standard (and regularly checking in afterwards) 🚀 Assess → Reflecting on how accessible your current policies, processes and spaces are as a whole (not just when you know you're working with a DDN person!) 🚀 Adjust → Accommodating any reasonable adjustments consistently and ahead of time, across the whole of a cast or crew member's time on a production 🚀 Advocate → Championing DDN talent for the value they bring onto a production and actively working to be better allies It's going to take a team effort to make the screen industries fully accessible - but these guidelines are a great starting point 🌱 What are your thoughts on TAP and the 5As guidelines? #TVProduction #TAP #DEI #Accessibility

'Simone Pennant MBE says The TV Collective festival will put diversity ‘front and centre of the debate’ - focus is on helping diverse producers find innovative ways to get their content made. After a “really difficult” year for the industry, she said the diversity community’s biggest ever hybrid festival – running from 16-27 September - will bring together content producers from black, Asian or global majority backgrounds to share practical solutions and advice.   “We want to have the conversation about how to get content out there in challenging times,” Simone, TV Collective Founder, told Broadcastnow. “This is about inspiring conversations about how to get to audiences, including more effective ways to break into the mainstream, what other distribution chains are out there to monetise your content, how to protect your IP and how to co-produce. These are just some of the challenges that will crop up.” Simone said the mainly online event would also be an “amazing showcase” of diverse creators, with spotlight sessions on the making of shows including #Netflix Supacell, led by producer Sheila Nortley and director Sebastian Thiel, Channel 4’s Defiance: Fighting the Far Right, led award-winning Rajesh Thind, and #Peacock #AppleTV #BelAir with US-based creator Morgan Cooper. Simone pointed out that there will be significant contributions from US creatives throughout the event, also including #Selma producer and #Array president Paul Garnes who will discuss dramatising American cultural moments and the current challenges facing the American market.  There will also be TV Collective Live lunch event hosted by Big Zuu, who will discuss the journey from #TikTok to #TV, while artist, activist and owner of production company Immovable Studios, #Akala, will deliver the inaugural Legacy Lecture.  While some events - including Big Zuu’s Big Lunch, the Phone Filmmaker Workshop and the Finale Gala - are accessible in-person, the majority of events are taking place online and the festival is open for sign-ups: www.thetvcollective.org ' Today sessions incl. 'Branding Your Content With The Right Music' led by Maxwell D, Co-founder of The Bird Call Productions at 5pm and how to access free financing from The Film and TV Charity CEO Marcus Ryder at 6.30pm. The TV Collective has also launched the TVC Content Fund ahead of the festival and one winner will be awarded a one-off £5,000 festival prize.

Next week on Getting into TV it’s my Screen Alliance Wales special. 🎬 Rhys Bebb talks all about what they do & the importance of a sustainable workforce ✨ I’m also joined by TWO trainees Adrienne Walker + Praveen Balaganesh who worked on Doctor Who as they discuss getting their break into the industry

Richard Wallis This is such an important point and one that the industry needs to face head-on. For far too long, production companies have leaned on freelancers and junior staff to absorb the fallout from challenging behavior, especially when it comes to “talent.” These individuals are often the most vulnerable in the hierarchy—keen to stay in work, eager to make a good impression, and without the protections that full-time employees might have. It’s an unfair and unsustainable system. The truth is, this isn’t just about the individuals who are directly impacted; it’s about the culture of the industry as a whole. When we allow bad behavior to go unchecked or shift the responsibility for managing it onto the least empowered, we signal that certain people—usually those with power or status—are above accountability. That’s damaging not just for staff morale but for the integrity of the productions themselves. What’s needed is a complete shift in mindset. Safeguarding can’t be something we just pay lip service to—it has to be embedded in the DNA of every production, with clear processes that protect everyone equally, regardless of their role. Freelancers, in particular, deserve better protections, from accessible HR support to guaranteed channels for raising concerns without fear of blacklisting.We need independent, impartial support. The industry is at a crossroads. We have an opportunity to move away from outdated practices and create a culture where everyone—no matter their status—feels safe, respected, and supported. The question is whether we have the will to truly make those changes.

Ever wondered what you’re broadcasting to the world?  It’s simple—just look at your surroundings. If there’s lack, drama, or disappointment, that's what you're putting out there.  The key to change lies in shifting your thoughts toward what you *want*, not what’s missing. By focusing on the end result and imagining it daily for just five minutes, you’re aligning with what you want to attract into your life. It’s all about broadcasting the right energy! #MindsetShift #Manifestation #PositiveBroadcasting #ThoughtPower #IntentionalLiving #anjaniamriitTEDxspeaker #anjaniamriitconsciousleadership #anjaniamriitwomensworkplaceadvocate #anjaniamriitspeaker #anjaniamriitthoughtleader

Access to talent - how do we solve the sector’s talent crisis and create a more sustainable and inclusive jobs market in the media and broadcasting sectors?

Casting as a TV Producer . There are talented people around us. Can you see them? My work as a television producer mandates me to get the best possible talent in front of the screens. As a producer of TV content for young adults, some of my greatest moments have been finding and training some incredible talents for the screen. They come in on level 1 TV energy and keep making progress. Unlike other enterprises/ organizations where the HR office is tasked with bringing in the best talents to an organization, in 24-hour broadcast TV the production department will handle it. So where does this leave HR, you may ask. The HR will take it from there when we bring them in 😄 Having an eye to spot talent in a densely populated Nigerian media entertainment scene is like building a muscle; it takes practice. And it’s not just about recognizing talent- it’s about recognizing the talent that fits the program. Some people know they’re talented and come with that awareness. Others come to try their luck because someone encouraged them. Some others still, believe that they have the swag, and some just want to be on TV. Some are a healthy combination, some don’t have any combination. In working at Teen Africa TV, it gets more interesting because of the niche. Young Adults have a certain look, feel and vibe, if you miss that, then you’d have started off wrong. It is always important to know the target audience of the TV station you work at and the kind of content you’re to produce. Hoping to share more of my experience working with young people because it’s been a lot of fun and lessons. #producer #tvproduction #recruitmentinsights #nichemarketing #targetaudience
