FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, and 26 other Congressional members, including Senators Chris Van Hollen and Ben Ray Luján, advocate for reinstating the FCC’s collection of broadcast workforce diversity data. Emphasizing the importance of media diversity, the group urges FCC Chairwoman Rosenworcel to set rules requiring broadcasters to submit annual workforce diversity data, as intended by Congress. In their letter, they assert that understanding the composition of broadcast workforces is vital for programming that meets the diverse needs of communities. The letter underlines the significance of representation in the media industry and calls for swift action to reinstate Form 395-B data collection, highlighting its role in transparency, accountability, and ensuring a diverse media ecosystem that reflects the American people. Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford supports the initiative, emphasizing the critical role of diversity data in the media sector.
