NZ On Air Diversity Report 2022

There is so much to absorb in this report, however we highlight one extraordinary figure – directors of children’s content were split 68% male to 32% female. How can this be regarded as acceptable in this day and age? We have a stack of female directors in the WIFT membership – please go to the database and start there to address this inequity.

The NZ On Air Diversity Report is an annual report on the gender and ethnic diversity among key creatives (Producers, Directors and Writers) of NZ On Air-funded screen projects, as well as the regional spread of production companies. It also, for the first time, includes data on age and disability within the sector.
