Hi.
“The BBC is a key part of British culture, and one that has been under a lot of scrutiny since the election. As what many people consider the country’s only neutral news source, we put a lot of trust in it – and for £154.50 per year, you’d hope it could be trusted.”
“Accent bias affects the hiring decisions and perceptions in professions from politics and journalism to hospitality and retail. Although it isn’t possible to say whether it directly causes immigrant, working-class and ethnic groups to become further marginalised in society, economically speaking but also socially, it clearly plays a huge role in the employability of individuals within these groups.”
