” that although these statements are a great show of unification, what is really imperative is that the industry takes action to reflect diversity both in their content and within their companies.

Group; Romina Rosado, SVP of Entertainment and Content at Telemundo International; Julie McNamara, Head of Programming at CBS All Access and PwC Principal and U.S. Media and Entertainment Consulting Leader Greg Boyer.Similarly to Sisgold, Lionsgate Television Group’s Stern called for the change to continue long after the protests end.

“The reality is that this country in twenty years is going to be minority white. And if you look at the programming that everyone, including Telemundo puts on right now, it is only reflective of one slice of the population and we’re not really seeing a lot of Asians, Black people, Latinos in our regular programming,” Rosado said.

Beyond the greater inclusion of diverse voices within the entertainment industry, the panel also discussed the challenges and changes they face when it comes to restarting production. Sisgold and McNamara of CBS All Access confirmed that they are hopeful to begin in-person production in September; however, they both recognized that the type of content produced must remain contained for quite some time. McNamara shared that CBS will be focusing mainly on unscripted content and stage-based shows.
