Hey, Dean Yager!

Where to start with this eh?
Yes. You could. It was your job to. To go around and find some people and interview them for a programme to get a point of view that reflected the diverse makeup of Brixton, it's isolated and interlocking communities and the vast, if decreasing, scale of class, race and genders which make up the area. Yes. You could have gone around Brixton. And should have.
By credible, you mean? That they're all from Brixton, although they obviously all occupy the same office and therefore it's reasonable to assume they all occupy very similar income bands. Or by credible, that they are suitably qualified for appearing on television and offering opinions. Or by credible, you mean it's unlikely any of them might say something untoward which detracts from your piece. You know, offer a dissenting view or question your role in the whole thing.
So it's alright to stage a vox pop with your mates you used to work with because they're camera friendly and easy, as long as they offer opinions what will be like what you expected to get from an actual vox pop? That's shallow, callow, bottom of the saucer 'journalism' of the Hari school of bullshit.
It's vox populi, vox dei - not vox p.r, vox dei.
You idiot.
