Despite progress on the screen, there is a lag in diversity in behind-the-camera jobs and among TV executives as measured by the yardsticks of race and gender, according to a new study from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Zendaya accepts the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for 'Euphoria' on Sept. 20, 2020. LOS ANGELES -- When Zendaya won last month's Emmy Award for top drama series actress, her triumph seemed to underscore the TV industry's progress toward inclusivity.

"There has been a lot of progress for women and people of colour in front of the camera," Darnell Hunt, dean of the school's social sciences division and the study's co-author, said in a statement. "Unfortunately, there has not been the same level of progress behind the camera." That's especially telling given the racial reckoning fanned by the police-connected deaths of George Floyd and other African Americans, according to Hunt. While media corporations have voiced support for the Black Lives Matter movement, their actions have failed to match their words, Hunt said in an interview.

"But they haven't done that," he said, acknowledging a notable exception in Channing Dungey, who at ABC became the president of a major broadcast network, jumped to Netflix and this week was named chairman of the Warner Bros. Television Group. Dungey is Black.
