\"\"<\/a>The just-published BBC’s gender pay gap report for 2017\/2018 states that some progress has been made during the past year. The median gap has fallen from 9.3% to 7.6% and the mean gap from 10.7% to 8.4%.<\/p>\n

As reported<\/a>, the results were achieved through several measures: Establishment of fair pay principles; introduction of a system of transparency on pay and career progress structure for employees; a new on-air pay framework; and, pay cuts for some and increases for others.<\/p>\n

The Global Media Monitoring Project network has for some time advocated for media houses to publish gender-disaggregated data on workforce indicators (see GMMP 2015 report, pg. 100<\/a>) as a step towards advancing gender equality. This development at the BBC is preceded by salary disclosures in July 2017, the subsequent resignation of Chinaeditor Carrie Gracie<\/a>, and strong criticisms of the gender pay gap by several employees (see BBC stars’ open letter here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The BBC has also set targets to achieve diversity in its workforce by 2020, including: 50% women across all staff; 15% black, Asian and ethnic minorities across all staff; and, 8% LGBT off-air and on-screen portrayal.<\/p>\n
