ITV's Nina Nannar calls for more onscreen diversity after 'hard' time in television
ITV Arts Editor started her journey in the broadcasting industry in the late 1980s, heading straight into the BBC after completing her university degree but says the help of mentors made it easier for her.Since launching her career, the Scunthorpe-born broadcaster has worked on the likes of Midlands Today, Children in Need and BBC News's 2000 Today.After leaving the BBC in 2001, Nina joined ITN as the media and arts correspondent on ITV News, before becoming Arts Editor in 2017.Speaking to the Daily Star at the National Diversity Awards, Nina said: "I started at the end of the 80s, I left university and went straight into the BBC."I joined newsrooms where I was the only person that looked like me, that was really hard, I had to adapt, I had to compromise to make people accept me being the same as them."I've always had a manager somewhere who has believed in me and given me an opportunity, if I hadn't had somebody supporting me like that, I don't know how far I would have got."She continued: "It's been really hard, I think those of us who started in the 80s, I'd like to think we've made it smoother and easier for people that have followed because television does look a lot different now."There's not enough people in the decision-making process but we're still working on that, I think that diversity is about class diversity."I'm brown but I'm also working class and I'm northern, so I brought all my minority things with me and I'm still Arts Editor at ITV News, sometimes I still find that a bit gobsmacking that I made it and we've got to make it easier for more people to make it, so thank God we talk about this stuff today."It's been a long time coming, we need to get on it, we need to get better, it's not finished
