Culture & Diversity in Media & Entertainment

Saturday 17 June, 18:30 - 19:15, Salle Genevoix, Grimaldi Forum

TV shows with diverse casts and crew act as an important channel to portray an accurate representation of a predominantly multi-cultural viewership in today's world, which can lead to higher ratings and more engaged audiences. What roles do producers and media executives play in driving diversity in television from creative to leadership perspectives and amplifying underrepresented groups from ethnic, to gender, youth and regional representation? How far has the industry come and what will be the future?
