The head of the Federal Communications Commission on Friday said he is opening an investigation into the diversity practices of Walt Disney and its ABC unit, saying they may violate U.S. equal employment opportunity regulations.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is launching an investigation into the diversity practices at Disney and its subsidiary ABC, following allegations of discrimination in hiring and promotion practices. This probe was initiated after FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr raised concerns about the lack of diversity in leadership roles at these companies. The investigation aims to assess whether Disney and ABC comply with federal regulations that require broadcasters to promote equal employment opportunities. This move comes amidst broader scrutiny of media companies' diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, with critics arguing that there's a significant gap between public commitments to diversity and actual practices within these organizations. The outcome of this investigation could potentially influence how media companies approach diversity in the future.
