Created by GLAAD Media Award winner, Gold House A100 honoree and former Deadline editor Dino-Ray Ramos, DIASPORA was launched as an "alternative" Hollywood trade publication for and by people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, the disabled community and other marginalized voices. This space is and has been dominated by white, cisgender, heterosexual, able-bodied men and the panel is an opportunity for Ramos, alongside other underrepresented journalists, speak to the importance of inclusivity in newsrooms and how it impacts the Hollywood ecosystem altogether. The panel will allow seasoned journalists to speak about their experiences while working in Hollywood, the ups & downs as well as problems & solutions to help bolster representation in newsrooms across the board.
