No Smooth Ride on TV Networks’ Road to Diversity
The piece of art that I viewed was the mural of David Alan Grier, host of “Chocolate News" from the New York Times. That he was featured in after the election of the first African-American U.S. President. This mural represented that there should be more cable shows that minorities can have a lead in. So television was being looked at something racial for the future. However, CNN and Comedy central had already started to have shows that included black minorities. Cable networks are renewing their shows such as “Everybody hates Chris” and “The Game”. I have seen this change and probably this mural showed everybody in the TV business that there should be shows that include Africa-Americans and their culture. And it is true because you see shows like “Gossip Girl” airing and getting reviews from the audience. It looks like it’s competitive with other ethnic shows. But there should be diversity in all cable shows.
