Using Data to Track Social Change
summary
A benchmark census of mainstream TV, OTT and top box-office films (Jan 2018–Aug 2020) parses every show and episode to ID lead actors, showrunners and episode directors; out of 993 shows premiered in 2019 only 1.4% of leads and 1.1% of showrunners are Latino while just 2.4% of episodes are directed by Latinos. The report ties these representation gaps to a missed economic opportunity given Latinos’ doubling to 18.3% of the population and outsized consumer growth.
