In the past few years, every week seems to bring headlines in the Hollywood trades heralding a studio or network’s onboarding of a new diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) executive. Netflix, Lionsgate, AMC, Warner Bros, Disney Sirius XM, TikTok, NBC — all have thrown big C-suite salaries at hires who will ensure their organizations stay in good standing with left-wing activist groups. Or, if not in good standing, at least good enough to keep Black Lives Matter and Nikole Hannah-Jones off their backs.
In fact, these days it would be harder to find an established entertainment company of any stripe that doesn’t have some in-house professional making sure all its representation i’s are dotted and t’s crossed.
