ADL Launches Media and Entertainment Institute to Engage Hollywood Insiders on Antisemitism and Portrayals of Jewish Communities

In response to the rise of antisemitic tropes in mainstream pop culture, the Anti-Defamation League has launched a Media and Entertainment Institute to engage Hollywood insiders and tastemakers in dialogue on general societal perceptions of Jewish people and how they are portrayed in media and entertainment.

So what changed? Greenblatt points to a toxic stew of hard economic times, pandemic conditions and the social media echo chamber that offers a ready platform for hate speech. The ADL is highly aware of the power of entertainment and media to shape cultural opinion on social issues. “Social media is the super-spreader” of extremism, Greenblatt observed, but traditional TV and film has unique reach and influence.

The Media and Entertainment Institute will formally launch Sept. 12 with an ADL-hosted dinner with industry leaders and stars at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
