“In 2016, a damning survey conducted by Neil Thurman of City University London found diversity in the British journalism industry to be shockingly low. Of almost 30,000 journalists sampled, 94% were white. In addition to the lack of diversity, women tend to be underpaid or under-promoted within the industry. We aim to unpack the statistics by challenging the present state of journalism and considering accountability and change for its future.”

“ACCESSIBILITY: There is 1 small step up to gain access to the main entrance and bar room. A portable ramp is available for step free access into the live room, there is level access in the bar room but the garden is up 1 flight of stairs. There are two bathrooms on the ground floor one of which is larger and would be more accessible if you need assistance. Step up onto stage.”
