FCC opening probe into diversity practices at Disney and ABC

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.

The outcome of this investigation could potentially influence how media companies approach diversity in the future.
