https://lnkd.in/e_ePrzCS It's the Children's (CBBC/CBeebies) and Schools departments (Bitesize/Teach) that I always like to focus on here! 🙂🚸🎒 Especially during a time (for decades!) when such programming was being broadcast throughout daytime and after-school on BBC1/2, they always really were in a unique position when it comes to both educational material and general 'edutainment', compared with book publishers like D.K. and Usborne, and simple 'entertainment' brands like Disney, Nintendo and Lego! 📚🎨🎮🪀 If it's true that the BBC will never reach that level of daily relevancy for kids like it had in the past, then it's those book publishers and kid-friendly brands that are going to have to carry that BBC-level weight of moral responsibility, not just for these private companies to make a good profit! 🙂📈 #edutainment #kidsmedia #kidsbrands #kidsindustry #publicbroadcasting #PSB

What I'm capable of when I do short form television.

Following a conversation with my wife last night about the significance of Black History Month, she introduced me to a Netflix documentary called "13th," which begins with a startling statistic delivered by former President Barack Obama: despite comprising only 5% of the global population, the United States accounts for 25% of the world's prisoners. This statistic sets the tone for the entire film, which provides evidence-based explanations for this alarming rate of incarceration. "13th" sheds light on the pervasive issue of racism in our society, revealing how it persists despite apparent progress. It illuminates examples of racism functioning as a profitable business, such as funding quotas in private prisons, and exposes the role of organizations like the American Legislative Exchange Council in influencing legislation that perpetuates systemic inequality. This conversation and the insights from "13th" have spurred me to reflect on my own actions and commitments to combatting racial injustice. It's evident that there is much more work to be done, and I am dedicated to being part of the solution. Furthermore, beyond recognizing the systemic issues highlighted in "13th," it's imperative to stress the importance of education and action in reversing these injustices. Education serves as a potent tool for raising awareness and understanding the complexities of systemic racism. By educating ourselves and others, we can challenge misconceptions, dismantle stereotypes, and advocate for meaningful change. However, education alone is insufficient. It must be coupled with deliberate action, including actively supporting initiatives and policies that promote equity and justice, speaking out against discrimination and inequality, and participating in efforts to reform systems that perpetuate racial disparities. If you've not seen this documentary, I encourage you to take the time, it's a must see.
