Nina Goswami

Webit Speaker, Creative Diversity Lead and journalist BBC

Nina Goswami is the BBC’s Creative Diversity Lead for the 50:50 Project and News and is spearheading initiatives to support the Corporation’s aspiration that its on-air representation reflects society.

She oversees the multi-award-winning 50:50 Project, which is currently the biggest collective action on increasing women’s representation in BBC content there’s ever been. 600 BBC teams from across News, Sport, Factual and Entertainment are signed up to the voluntary initiative that uses a self-monitoring data system to effect change. In addition, over 65 external organisations have partnered with 50:50 including ABC News, Voice of America and Fortune. 50:50 is expanding its methodology to disability and ethnicity – an initiative Nina is leading.

Nina is also a journalist and, before her current post, was a BBC News senior producer. She has worked in media her whole professional career including The Sunday Times and The Sunday Telegraph.
