Since 2016 NZ On Air has been reporting on the diversity of creatives in key roles in funded Scripted and Factual/Non-fiction content. This reporting helps us to identify areas where additional industry support and capability funding may be necessary to enhance representation in funded content for audiences in Aotearoa.
The 2024 report notes improvement in representation of Māori, Pacific peoples and Middle Eastern, Latin American or African (MELAA) in this roles, but room still for improvement for Asian creatives.
