    The BBC (my employer) have created a number of schemes over the last couple of years, some of which are pan-industry. It is starting to fill the gap, but there is a problem that while 20 years ago broadcasting was attractive to a larger group, now the likes of Google and Facebook are seen as modern and exciting to graduates and "old media" has become less interesting.
