The TV season that brought Emmy honors to “Ugly Betty” star America Ferrera also saw a rise in employment opportunities for Hispanics at the major networks, according to a report released Tuesday.
The eighth annual survey by a coalition formed to push for more minority hiring for on- and off-camera jobs in broadcasting found Hispanics made encouraging if “incremental” progress.
Network programs created to foster diversity “are now bearing fruit, and it is not unreasonable to expect that the present numbers will continue to climb and that there will be no backsliding,” said Esteban Torres, head of the National Latino Media Council.”*
