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. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the first episode of 2025! In this episode of THE POWER OF RE:INVENTION, host Kathi Sharpe-Ross kicks off the year with an inspiring conversation featuring Madeline Di Nonno, President and CEO of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. Madeline shares how a turning point in her career—when two significant life events collided—pushed her to reimagine her path and embrace Reinvention. She reflects on leaving behind a successful corporate career in entertainment to lead a mission-driven organization advocating for inclusion and representation in media. The conversation explores the challenges and rewards of career transitions, the impact of research and AI on gender bias in storytelling, and the importance of staying adaptable in a rapidly evolving world. Madeline's story reminds us that the most transformative moments often come from life's biggest disruptions. Whether you're navigating your own Reinvention or looking for inspiration to start the year with purpose, this episode offers powerful insights and actionable wisdom to set you on the right path. Key Takeaways: Reinvention often begins with a moment of discomfort—embrace it as an opportunity. Life rarely unfolds in a straight line; sometimes, challenges lead us to the most meaningful paths. Take stock of what truly matters to you and let that guide your decisions. AI and technology are reshaping every industry; staying curious and adaptable is non-negotiable. Reinvention is not a one-time event—it's a mindset that you can revisit whenever life calls for it.

As the CEO of the Geena Davis Institute, Madeline Di Nonno is paving the way for gender diversity in children’s entertainment and media. In today’s episode, Madeline talks about the fascinating research her team has... The post Madeline Di Nonno: Breaking Through Gender Bias in Film and Television appeared first on Up Next.

The Geena Davis Institute on Gender in the Media is a research-driven organization that is changing media to empower girls.  While watching television with her daughter, Geena Davis noticed that women were not well represented. She was concerned about the messages that were being sent to her daughter and to her twin boys. Geena launched a research project and was disturbed by what she found. In 2009, Geena met with Madeline Di Nonno, a 30-year veteran of the entertainment industry. Together, they launched the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in the Media. Here is what they found. Women and girls make up 51% of the population and yet, if you watch movies and television, you might not know that. For every minute of female screen and speaking time, there are three minutes of male screen and speaking time. Women make up around 17% of crowd scenes. And only 17% of the top 100 feature films of 2015 featured solo female roles. The kinds of characters played by women are also off-balance. 80% of the characters seen working are male. Women in films make up less than 5% of the C-Suite roles. Men play attorneys or judges 13 times for every time the role is played by a woman. Men play professors 16 times for every time a woman plays the same role. And men play medical professionals nearly 6 times for every time a woman plays the same role. Children consume about 7 hours of television per day. So, media plays an oversized role in influencing their understanding of society. Given the statistics above, children, both boys and girls, are fed a steady diet of messages that women and girls don’t matter to society. The Geena Davis Institute on Gender in the Media is a research-driven organization. Through their research, they have amassed the largest body of research on gender prevalence in family entertainment spanning over 25 years. They partnered with Google to create a software that analyses video and audio. The software measures the GD-IQ (the Geena Davis Inclusion Quotient). They research directly to decision makers and creators in the entertainment industry. They collaborate with the media and entertainment industry to expose gender imbalance, identify unconscious bias and remodel characters to achieve equity. In a recent impact study, 68% of entertainment industry executives familiar with the Institute’s research changed two or more projects, and 41% changed four or more projects. Social Entrepreneurship Quotes from Madeline Di Nonno “The problem is centered around unconscious gender bias.” “Even when there are female leads, they receive three times less speaking time than the male leads.” “Female-led films are earning 16% more at the box office.” “We’re focused on research, action, and results.” “I learned a lot by reading obituaries.” “I thought, could I use my power for good?” “It’s important to do a SWOT analysis.” “Is there another organization that you can partner with?” “Whatever you do has to be measured in finite terms.” “We’re dealing with huge systemic change.” Social Entrepreneurship Resources: Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media: https://seejane.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GDIGM Twitter: https://twitter.com/GDIGM Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gdigm/ More Stories of Sustainable Development Goal 5, Gender Equality In 2017, we’re emphasizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
