A study to be released Monday, Feb. 22, 2016, by the Media, Diversity and Social Change Initiative at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism offers one of the most wide-ranging examinations of the film and television industries, including a pointed “inclusivity index” of 10 major media companies - from Disney to Netflix - that gives a failing grade to every movie studio and most TV makers.
