We are committed to improving diversity in all its sectors. This is particularly important in the media which should reflect everyone in society, including those with visible differences. My department will continue to support the sector's steps towards this goal, by recognising the value of initiatives such as Project Diamond, and working closely with media organisations and Ofcom in relation to this matter.
