If you thought the Beeb’s ‘positive’ discrimination knew no bounds, think again.
The Corporation’s Head of Newsgathering has said that ‘not enough’ women are in top jobs because they “don’t feel confident”.
The broadcasting monolith is now offering women flexible working patterns and “confidence in the workplace training” – despite six of the top 15 TV news reporting posts being held by women.
TCW has a tip for these supposedly trembling wimmin: just apply for the job and you’ll get it (especially at the box-ticking Beeb).
