CoP Show: Expert Voices: finding BAME talent March 5 2015

Thu, 5 Mar¹ 15

Expert Voices is a nationwide BBC initiative which aims to get more Black, Asian and minority ethnic² (BAME) experts from a wide range of fields on air and on screen. The all-day training events give delegates the chance to meet senior industry figures, share their own knowledge and expertise³ with other like-minded people and to learn skills that could help them work on air as contributors or presenters⁵. We joined the event in Birmingham to talk to delegates about their experiences as they learnt to take part in television interviews, radio panel discussions and also recording⁶ pieces to camera. Most importantly they received feedback from media experts including keynote speaker BBC Asian Network DJ Noreen Khan, former Blue Peter presenter⁴ Andy Akinwolere and journalist and broadcaster Marvarine Cole.
