UK Government Blocks Woman Of Color Joining Channel 4 Board Again
By Jake Kanter
The British government has blocked a woman of color from being appointed to Channel 4‘s board for a third time, raising further questions about ministers meddling in media appointments.
TV regulator Ofcom recruits Channel 4 board members, but preferred candidates must be signed off by culture secretary Lucy Frazer. Rozina Breen, the BBC’s former head of north, was put forward by Ofcom, but ministers rejected her appointment without providing reasons for the decision.
......
The government has twice intervened in similar circumstances over Channel 4 non-executive directors. In 2021, ministers blocked the reappointed for a second term of two women of color: former Arts Council England boss Althea Efunshile and film producer Uzma Hasan.
