ABC & FOX lideran con nueve latinos cada uno
por Latin Heat
New star of Charlie’s Angels.
Last year the National Hispanic Media Coalition’s annual “Network Report Cards” resulted in failing grades for three out of the four top English-language prime time networks. Only CBS received high marks for the hiring of Latinos. If this years pilot season is any indication, the networks seem to be working towards a better grade year. An unprecedented number of Latinos have been cast as leads this season — 29 at last count, with a few more roles yet to be cast.
It stills remains to be seen how many of these pilots will actually get picked up, but the number of Latinos roles cast may be an indication the networks are finally beginning to realize the importance of including Latinos on primetime, if not for a better “diversity grade”, maybe because the 2010 census numbers don’t lie.
