FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks and a group of 26 Congress members, led by Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, are urging the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reinstate the collection of broadcast workforce diversity data. Emphasizing the importance of diversity in media, they argue that understanding the composition of broadcast workforces is crucial for tailoring programming to meet the diverse needs of communities. In a letter to FCC Chairwoman Rosenworcel, they call for the implementation of rules requiring broadcasters to submit annual workforce diversity data, as mandated by Congress. The letter underscores that station employees reflecting community diversity enhance the ability to provide responsive programming. The push for transparency and accountability in the media industry aims to ensure continued diversity that reflects the American people. Clarke emphasizes the significance of reinstating data collection after two decades, emphasizing America’s diversity as its greatest strength.
