Introducing: Locatora Radio Season 11
The Media Gap: Latinos Behind and In Front of the Camera
This week, Diosa and Mala discuss Latino representation in media, sparked by backlash over white actress Odessa A'zion being cast as a Latina character in an upcoming A24 film. Together, they review a study conducted by USC's Norman Lear Center, which highlights that Latino-led/Latino-created shows offer a more nuanced representation of Latinidad. (OBVIO!!) They also consider how digital media has lowered the barrier to entry for Latino/Latine talent. Will AI also lower the barrier to entry or is there another risk for bias? Please note this episode was recorded in early March. And there's some loud background noise at times, sorry!
