Report Finds White Men Overindex on Most-Watched Streaming Shows as Lead Actors, Series Creators
This report launches a new series titled UCLA Hollywood Diversity Report Presents that focuses on certain parts of entertainment and media and, just like the Hollywood Diversity Report, explores relationships between diversity and the bottom line in the Hollywood entertainment industry. Housed within UCLA’s Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE) and Division of Social Sciences, the Entertainment and Media Research Initiative (EMRI) – which explores equity and access issues affecting entertainment industry workers and tracks the viewing habits of increasingly diverse audiences – produced the report.
This report was authored by Dr. Ana-Christina Ramón, Michael Tran, and Dr. Darnell Hunt. Michael Tran, Kali Tambree, Jade Abston, Jiyoung Kim, and Nico Garcia contributed to data collection for analyses.
Financial support was provided by The Division of Social Sciences at UCLA; Leadership Sponsors, Netflix, the Golden Globe Foundation, and the Latino Film Institute; and Annual Sponsors, The Walt Disney Company and Hulu.
