Not-for-profit Media Diversity Australia has expanded its team as it plans to grow and have more impact on an industry it sees as lacking in diversity.
Chris Vaughan has joined the team as its operations director, bringing experience from his work in the finance industry, as well as media and advertising.
Vaughan said the work Media Diversity Australia does is close to his heart.
“I moved to Australia at the age of seven from London, it took many years before I saw someone else who looked like me let alone on the TV. It was because of that and many other reasons, that I feel very passionate about playing a part in this narrative to ensure that the seven year old me today is able to see more diverse cultures represented equally across all media platforms,” Vaughan said.

Facebook has confirmed it is “prioritis[ing] other countries for investment until we understand the impact” of the News Media Bargaining Code, and will not roll out Facebook News in this market unless the legislation is changed.
In a blog post published this morning, on the company’s website the social media platform’s local managing director, Will Easton, claimed that, in its current form, the proposed law could “expose Facebook to more than 1,000 standalone commercial arrangements”.
