In this episode of the Telly Awards podcast, we dig into equitable representation in media with Madeline Di Nonno, CEO of Geena Davis Institute. For the past 20 years, the institute has pioneered groundbreaking research on the life-changing impact of representation. By exposing and exploring the interconnected identities often marginalized in the media, their work reinvents, transforms and inspires how global content creators tell stories. How far has the film industry come in representing women, people of color, the disabled, overweight people, LGBTQIA+, and adults over the age of 50? Representation “still falls short,” according to Madeline di Nonno of the Geena Davis Institute. In this podcast episode, we dig into their 2024 study of G, PG, and PG-13 films with budgets over $10 million. For example, women starred in just 35.3% of leading roles.
