TV Networks Fail Latinos in Diversity Performance – National Latino Media Council to release report
A KIND GIFT from ... (see your sponsorship here) supports all this service does.
Tagged: diversity, NAACP, National Hispanic Media Coalition, National Latino Media Council, televisionThe National Latino Media Council (NLMC) will hold a press conference on Tuesday, December 7, 2010 to release the 11th annual Network Television Report Cards. NLMC is very disappointed with the diversity performance of the networks. The report cards are part of a national movement to change the face of television in this country. In 1999 – 2000, the Multi-Ethnic Media Coalition, a group comprised of the National Latino Media Council, the National Asian/Pacific American Media Coalition, the NAACP and the American Indians in Film and Television, signed
Memoranda of Understanding with the four major television networks, ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC. The Memoranda serve to diversify the networks’ workforce both in front and behind the camera and to open up procurement opportunities for people of color.
The National Latino Media Council will also respond to this season’s lineup of primetime shows, both new and returning.
WHO: Congressman Esteban Torres (Ret.),
