ITVS Shares Our Progress on POC Representation
In this time of racial reckoning, filmmakers of color righteously have asked public broadcasters to publish the racial diversity of their programs and producers. As an organization with diversity and inclusivity as our top priority, ITVS has a long record of releasing to the public the data that we provide each fiscal year to our board of directors. We’re proud of our record of representation—on our board, on our staff, and among our ITVS-funded filmmakers—and continuously strive to improve. A 2017 analysis by the Center for Media & Social Impact at American University found that the filmmakers, places, people and topics in 10+ years of ITVS documentaries reflect the rich diversity of the country we live in. Today, we’re sharing our POC representation (for the fiscal year 2019 and 2020 below) in solidarity with Beyond Inclusion and Public Media for All. ITVS’ work is made possible through the ongoing support of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
