LATEST DIVERSITY NEWS
The Undefeated
The group - two black women, a Latina and two white women - reflect the rich diversity that surrounds us here, a diversity that, too often, we are loath to acknowledge. The five women are a microcosm of America, a rainbow of skin colors and ethnicity that is unmistakably an American thing.
Multichannel News
Applications are now being accepted for the Catherine Oakes Memorial Leadership Scholarship for Women, which is awarded annually by the SCTE Foundation to recognize, reward, and provide educational opportunities for women who aspire to become leaders in cable engineering or operations. Women applying for the scholarship must be SCTE/ISBE members. The application deadline is Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2016.
Politic365
Two months after completing its merger with Time Warner Cable and acquisition of Bright House Networks, Charter Communications announced the election of Kim Crawford Goodman to its Board of Directors. As the thirteenth member of the Board, Goodman is the first African American woman to join this august group of leaders.
TIME
Latina women are the fastest growing demographic of entrepreneurs in the U.S. Nely Galán faced many obstacles when she started her Latino-focused television production company in 1989, including executives who didn't believe TV shows geared toward a Latino audience could succeed.

PROGRAMMING

Macworld
A brand-new streaming app, Revry, launched this summer to help close this gap by exclusively showcasing LGBT entertainment-web series, short films, documentaries, podcasts, music videos, viral videos, and other "snackable" digital content-made by indie creators from all over the world.
Media Life Magazine
Unlike the English-language broadcast networks, Spanish-language broadcasters make little differentiation between summer and the rest of the year.
The Hollywood Reporter
The star of NBC's Shades of Blue is set to topline and executive produce an untitled TV movie revolving around late drug lord Griselda Blanco, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
MULTICULTURAL MARKETING
 
MediaPost
Gen Z is a wholly unique generation and carving their own path as we see on our latest research initiative, We Are Gen Z, a collaboration between our research agency and Sensis. They are the largest, most ethnically diverse generational cohort the U.S. has ever seen. With Gen Z representing 26% of the population at 83 million strong, Gen Z will be reshaping multicultural marketing as we know it.

MediaPost
The U.S. Asian Indian community is one of the fastest-growing communities in the country, representing the second-largest ethnic Asian community, after Chinese-Americans. While there are multiple reports helping advertisers market to Hispanics or African-Americans, this demographic tends to be overlooked.
