Labour-backed creative industries report also calls for additional diversity targets.
A Labour policy paper has called for greater support for the creative industries in the UK regions and more diversity targets.
The paper, titled Leading the Field: A Review of the Creative Industries, praised the growing strength of the UK creative industries but also set out a host of recommendations for improvement.
Regions
The report, compiled by former UK Film Council chief executive John Woodward, argued that the lack of creative industries growth in the UK’s regions should be a “priority” for Whitehall, which should devolve more decision-making and funding away from London.
“The welcome emergence of London as possibly the leading creative industry hub in the world has disguised the lack of equivalent growth outside London, and this situation should be addressed by Government as a priority, not least through the devolution of decision making and funding away from Whitehall and into the English regions...

LinkedIn urges its European users to Be a Brand. In cyberspace, however, no one can hear a Gallic shrug.
Be a Brand, exhorts LinkedIn in a new campaign to its European users. The marketing exercise kicks off today with a spanky website survey that invites individuals to work out just what kind of brand they are, in an attempt to increase their employment prospects.
The BrandYou campaign is backed by some largeish names on its board, including John Woodward from Publicis Worldwide, Insead marketing bod David Midgely, Saatchi & Saatchi's Andrzej Moyseowicz, and author Katie Ledger. But just how much will it work on LinkedIn's 18 million Euro members? This is, after all, the continent where a Gallic shrug conveys indifference in other countries besides France.
The coffee-break questionnaire will lump you into one of four different types of brands:
Global Guru--that's the Googles, Apples, Coca-Colas, Nikes and Starbucks of this worldRebel with a Cause--Audi,...

London -- John Woodward said Monday he is standing down as the U.K. Film Council's CEO after over a decade at the helm.
Woodward's exit comes as the organization begins talks with the British government about the future support structures for U.K. film in the wake of the decision in July this year to shut down the U.K. Film Council by 2012.
Woodward said he will leave in "early November" this year and "will announce his future plans in due course."
Woodward said: "By choosing to make my position clear now, I can be objective and unconflicted throughout that process [of talking to the government]. It should then, rightly, be for others to take the new system forward and write the next chapter for U.K. film."
Woodward said he had enjoyed every minute of his 10 year-plus tenure "up until 5.35pm on 24 July this year," when he learned of the government's decision to close the Council.
