The 50:50 story
-
Ros Atkins shares how he started 50:50 counting back in 2017 as a month-long experiment on his Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News programme, and how the methodology developed.
The 50:50 Project team
Lara joined the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ as a Journalism Trainee in 2009 working on domestic and international News outlets across the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and at Sky News, with a focus on underserved audiences. She joined 50:50 The Equality Project in 2019, and has since rolled out the initiative’s disability and ethnicity monitoring and overseen it's growth to include over 700 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ teams and 150 external organisations. Lara is a trained mentor, Women of the Future Awards 2020 finalist, and was named one of the Top 20 professionals on the Global Diversity List 2021.
Miranda is the 50:50 Project Lead and was an Assistant Editor at Live Political Programmes based at Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Westminster. She was involved with 50:50 from early on, increasing the number of women from political journalism on air. She has produced many TV Election Debate programmes. Recently she has been a programme output editor at Radio 4’s World at One and PM programmes and was previously an Assistant Editor at the Today programme.
Ros is the Analysis Editor for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News and presents the Outside Source TV programme as well as 'Ros Atkins on...' video explainers. He is the founder of 50:50 and guided the project from a month-long experiment in early 2017 to the global initiative it has become.
