Marcus Ryder MBE: Don't ask if I've experienced racism

British Journalism Award winner and leading authority on media diversity Marcus Ryder MBE gives his take on the issue following Press Gazette’s race and the media survey.
When we talk about the racism and bigotry in the UK media industry it is very easy to focus on some of the worst most visible excesses. The recent Press Gazette survey about racism and bigotry in the UK news media makes for shocking reading. When three quarters (74%) of black journalists who responded to the survey were able to answer “yes” to the question: “Have you personally experienced, or witnessed, racism whilst working in the UK Media?” something is horribly wrong.

Hi Pat. I think that ChCh is a bad example. Since the earthquake the city has spread out hugely to the west, north west and south west. In the east of course, which has historically been lower cost housing, its just one huge barren landscape in many areas. The whole market is totally distorted.
The new dwellings are all of a certain type. Flashy, expensive and not really good rental material. So, I would strongly disagree that supply has increased
in the rental market.
Agree with you re excess liquidity, along with interest rates sub 3% and the wrong incentives (lack of Capital Gains Tax).

Bloody annoying behaviour from Vector yesterday. Caused the site to be off for most of the day and evening.
We'd been informed earlier in the month of a power shutdown from 8am to 10 am. That is on the limits of my UPS. I just organised to be home during the morning. The UPS ran until about 1013.
By which time, I was asking about why it was taking so long. The workers then told me that the power would be off until sometime around 4pm.
Unfortunately the system shutdown hard, because of problem in the UPS configuration. I had to repair the partition tables of the two drives that are the current TS system.

And if the new owner wants to live in it ….
aj …
Essentially over the past 20yrs we've actually had to put money
into the business to keep it afloat, and our tenants in their homes. We're now in the position of
having shitloads of equity, but
crap cash flow, and because I'm close to retiring that isn't something I can sustain anymore.
The trouble with this is that I've heard this description from not only landlords but farmers as well, except farmers don't like to flaunt their equity in public.
The total values of assets that can be realised is the figure that most people will focus on. If you have $10M in equity but moan your a**e off about pitiful cashflow, then you generally won't get a lot of sympathy.

Newswrap podcast: drilling into Diamond (transcription)

2021-02-13T08:32:00+00:00
A trio of prominent diversity campaigners unpick last month’s Diamond diversity results
Below is a transcription for the hard of hearing of this week’s Newswrap podcast featuring diversity campaigners Caroline O’Neill, Andrew Roach and Marcus Ryder, hosted by Max Goldbart

Max [00:00:03] Hello and welcome to the Broadcast Newswrap. Your shorthand guide to the week’s TV news stories featuring the experts and campaigners you really should be listening to. The Diamond diversity figures were released last fortnight and were met with a chorus of frustration with disappointing slumps and plateaus for disability representation and representation of black, Asian and minority ethnic people. This week, campaigners Marcus Ryder, Caroline O’Neill and Andrew Roach join me, Max Goldbart, to analyse where the industry is going wrong and what can be done about the shortfalls. We take a deep dive into issues of intersectionality and there’s even a bit of a disagreement in everybody’s favourite ‘what we’ve been watching’ segment.
