and media — whether through opposition, complicity or overt racism — is playing a significant role in minority representation.
From 2010 to 2019, Hispanic workers were underrepresented in the media industry compared to their representation in the rest of the workforce. Specifically, the report says that in 2019, “Hispanics made up an estimated 12 percent of workers in the media industry compared to an estimated 18 percent of workers in the rest of the workforce .”
The study showed disparities between Hispanic women and men working in media. Hispanic men held just 7% of media jobs from 2015 to 2019. Hispanic women held a paltry 3% of media jobs in that time. Over this period, writers and authors — that is, people who tend to have the most direct control over media narratives — were the least likely to be Hispanic. In total, just 7% of writers and authors during that span were Hispanic.
