the 2010 equality act legally protects people in the workplace it replaces the old equality law and covers them all under one law. when working in the media people shouldn't be subject to discrimination, however, there has been cases when people have been subject to discrimination for example people who have been fired because of their age. the act is made up of 9 pieces of legislation which were first made up in 2007.

the equaility act is made up of the following

Health and safety legislation and how it applies to the media workplace

Health and safety legislation and how it applies to the media workplace:

• Maintenance of the workplace, equipment, devices and system
• Temperature of the indoor workplace
• Lighting
• Cleanness of the workplace
• That there is an understanding of how much space there is where you’re working
• What obstacles will be in the workplace that can’t be moved
• A place for the staff to take a break for lunch, drink, ECT

How this applies to us as media producers, we should expect these in the workplace as well as work to provide them. These things need to be checked on otherwise there could be a casualty in the workplace or equipment being broken from not having enough room or someone being effected by something that has happened in the room.

This would be important as the producer because the producer would be the one that gets the blame for what has happened because the producer is the one that is meant to make sure that these checks happen to keep the staff and actors in a state that they will want to stay on set and not quit because of bad working environments.

presentation of genders in radio news

• 40% of the voices will be female, however, I believe there is a higher chance of hearing a woman reading the news stories.
• Radio 1 has a female news reader only male voices are the cutaway stories readers there are about 5-6 of them on the show 

note 40 seconds of female news readers, 16 seconds  of  male cutaway clip, 10 seconds  of female news reader, 24 seconds  of male news reader clip,16 seconds of female news reader, 13 seconds of male cutaway, 27 seconds of female news reader, 9 seconds of female cutaway, 21 seconds female news reader.

female- around 6 minutes                                                male -about 1 minutes

IPSO research - Jordan Earl and Connor Stewart

Jordan Earl and Connor Stewart

Ipso had not got involved in the Madeleine McCann state of affairs when the biggest “evidence” against the parents and school teacher was a false accusation , Ipso just sat there and watched from the side lines.[1] Ipso also didn’t help a blind (transgender) human who was discriminated against by a “WHITE MAN!” it’s an absolute shock again as these white privileged men discriminate everyone and get away with it! It’s almost as if everyone has to have the same opinion , definitely not the start of censorship…… Ipso are also in control of all of the newspapers so how can they remain a just system if they basically police themselves? Ipso have also been insensitive to Robin Williams suicide and done nothing to prevent the insensitive speech. In conclusion Ipso have not done much at all as they run the newspapers and probably respect free speech , it’s not like Jay z can run around saying about raping women and children …. No he’s just a good “role model” like all of the celebrity sell outs. These are definitely the people your kids should be looking up to , it’s not like they are in the lime light to push agendas.
