This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because it's not the UK Government or Parliament's responsibility to introduce media channels.

You could start a new petition calling for an action that is the UK Government or Parliament's responsibility, for example to increase funding for schemes designed to increase black people's access to media careers, if that's something you'd like to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
