UCLA TV Diversity Report Finds “Progress” For Women & Minorities, But Latinos Still Lag Far Behind; White Male Show Creators Tend To Get Bigger Budgets
Women and minority TV creators, writers, directors and cast members continue to make progress towards greater inclusion, both in front of and behind the camera, according to the latest Hollywood Diversity report from UCLA. “One of the strongest trends over the course of this report series is the steady increase in overall cast diversity,” the report found. Latinos, however, remain woefully underrepresented, and were the “only group to be severely underrepresented” across all three platforms – broadcast, cable and streaming.
