Lenny Henry urges media to keep diversity talks alive

Henry’s warning is a direct reminder that diversity and inclusion remains an active industry issue, not a settled one. For streaming and media companies, the immediate implication is that public commitment to inclusion is still being scrutinized in a more hostile environment. The broader ecosystem angle is that this debate is playing out across the media industry, where language and posture around racism, sexism and inequality can signal corporate priorities. The next signal to watch is whether more media executives publicly reaffirm diversity initiatives after Henry’s comments.
