The Importance of Diversity in Media and Storytelling

02 Aug 2020  |  Podcast Business Journal
Conor Powell discusses the underrepresentation of women and minorities in media and the consequences it has on society's perception. He references the Bechdel and DuVernay tests as measures of representation in entertainment and acknowledges similar issues in journalism. Powell highlights the skewed narratives historically presented by a dominant group of white, middle- and upper-class men. In his podcast series 'Long Shots', he aims to correct these mistakes by including diverse voices to tell the stories of presidential candidates who lost but impacted America. Despite efforts, Powell admits falling short of his diversity goal in the podcast interviews. The article emphasizes the importance of including diverse perspectives to provide a more accurate depiction of history and political environments.
