Marcus Ryder said to have lost out on senior role after making public interventions on race
The BBC director general, Tim Davie, has offered to meet a prominent black media executive who, it is claimed, was blocked from a senior job at the broadcaster after making public interventions on race.
Marcus Ryder said he was approached earlier this year by the BBC to apply for a new role, based in Birmingham, overseeing Radio 1’s Newsbeat bulletins and the news service of the Asian Network.
