Quotable

“We commissioned this study because we wanted to figure out how we were doing in our mission to make sure that the content on Netflix was representative of the communities we serve… What we saw in the data is we have massive improvement in things like putting women behind the camera, putting women of color in director roles and creator roles, which is incredibly helpful because that ripples through and it increases the employment of women and women of color through every discipline of TV and filmmaking. We have a ton of work to do in other underrepresented communities, particularly LatinX, people with disabilities, and we’re commited to doing that work.
– Netflix co-CEO/chief content officer Ted Sarandos talking to CNBC about the company’s first diversity report
