It has been observed that most American TV media has taken on a format that seems to concern itself primarily with White, middle to high-income family situations. Even though the United States of America has a Latino population that reaches 17% (approximately 55 million Latinos—with Mexican Americans making up 63% of that number) and growing (Krogstad 2016), we still see a tremendous lack of Latino characters in American television. This leaves millions of Americans with no substantial representations that they can relate to, or form an identity off of. Instead, Latinos are forced into believing they are not important enough to merit TV roles and perhaps not really be American at all. This research was a content analysis of 79 scripted shows that aired through 2011-2015 to determine how often Latinos came out and how they were portrayed. Results showed that they appeared an average of six minutes on screen and they were generally depicted as criminals. Additionally, four focus group interviews were conducted, and participants also responded that shows tend to stereotype minorities while they showed White characters as authority figures. Both content analysis and focus group interviews found that Latinos lack strong representation in American television.

This article foregrounds the manifestation of a contemporary Orientalist discourse in the global media sphere by reading the increasingly robust non-Western ‘other’ that is the Indian TV media through its remediation in the Melbourne-based paper, The Age. The particular institutions have been chosen due to the ‘quality journalism’ reputation of the latter outlet, and the frequency of references to the Indian media – particularly its numerous news television channels – during the spate of allegedly racist attacks on Indian students in Melbourne in 2009–10. Feature articles, news items and opinion pieces appearing in the paper on this issue from May 2009 to June 2010 are examined for mentions of, and comments on, the Indian TV media. Conclusions are then drawn about how the remediation of India and its media offered by The Age effectively redraws a nation previously receiving limited coverage (literally and discursively) in Australia. What is significant here is not the resurgent Indian as reflected in the coverage of the Indian media, but its specific television might remediated by The Age as powerful yet Bollywood-esque in its drama and spectacle.

Nowadays the tv media are in the face of an emergent phenomenon as it is the appearance of a new no organic lobby that questions the veracity of the television contents exercising at the time a strong quality control on the same ones. It is the new inspection of the interactive screen (computer-internet) above the directive screen (television). That that up to now was a passive viewer, subject of a vertical and hierarchical communication, passes to be involved in the information that receives and also becomes creator of contents, correcting and questioning the credibility of traditional television means and getting at the time a high influence level. Examples of this influence would be the recent resignations of two important American communicators as Dan Rather, consecrated journalist newsreader in the channel 'CBS', and Eason Jordan, director of information of the 'CNN' until his resignation. Both withdrawals were caused basically by the social mobilization taken place in a new generation that, from the blogosphere, makes hear its voice. The disorganization of this new influence group in the civil society, far from supposing an obstacle, guarantees in certain way its independence, in front of other organizations and viewers' associations whose effectiveness could be questioned bearing in mind the current situation of the television contents. The present television faces the challenge than means the level of exigency from a new generation of spectators for who, they are no longer the main source of information, but only a member more of an universe of global communication multi-screen and therefore will have to fight for their primacy in a world in which the user have the opportunity to access to a very superior informative offer, even changing from passive receiver to emitting agent able to carry out an interesting work facing the control of quality of the audio-visual products that spread from the different commercial and/or public broadcasters. El pasado año, el Instituto Nacional del Consumo realizó un sondeo sobre los hábitos de consumo de la televisión y de nuevas tecnología de la infancia y la juventud que desvelaba datos tan significativos como que el consumo solitario de la televisión se va consolidando, frente al tradicional consumo en familia. Así mismo destacaba el hecho de que la ausencia (o escasa presencia) de una programación infantil dirigida específicamente a la infancia, no impide que los niños se estrenen como «consumidores» de televisión a edades muy tempranas: la mayoría entre los 2 y los 3 años. Por otro lado, en las Jornadas de Política y Periodismo llevadas a cabo en la ciudad de Estepona el pasado 13 de julio, se destacó el hecho de que hay una franja de edad entre los 17 y 25 años para quienes la televisión se ha convertido en un medio marginal como fuente de información. En este marco, parece adecuado cuestionarse la calidad de los contenidos televisivos y como los receptores de esos contenidos puede influir en ellos con algo más que con unos determinados índices de audiencia que, salvo excepciones, en nada se corresponden con los criterios de calidad exigibles a un servicio público. Por ello, en este artículo se verá cómo en la actualidad los medios televisivos se encuentran ante un novedoso fenómeno emergente: la aparición de un nuevo lobby no orgánico que cuestiona la veracidad de sus contenidos, ejerciendo de esta manera un fuerte control de calidad sobre los mismos. Es la nueva fiscalización de la pantalla interactiva (ordenador-internet), sobre la pantalla directiva (televisión). Lo que hasta ahora era un telespectador pasivo, sujeto a una comunicación vertical y jerarquizada, está pasando a involucrarse en la información que recibe y además se convierte en creador de contenidos, corrigiendo y cuestionando la credibilidad de medios televisivos tradicionales y consiguiendo al tiempo un elevado nivel de influencia. Ejemplos de dicha presión serían las recientes dimisiones de dos importantes comunicadores estadounidenses como Dan Rather, consagrado periodista presentador de informativos en la cadena CBS, y Eason Jordan, director de información de la CNN hasta su retirada. Ambos abandonos fueron provocados básicamente por la movilización social producida en una nueva generación que, desde la blogosfera hace oír su voz. La desestructuración de este nuevo grupo de influencia en la sociedad civil, lejos de suponer un obstáculo, garantiza en cierto modo su independencia, frente a otras organizaciones y asociaciones de telespectadores cuya efectividad podría ser cuestionada a tenor de la situación actual de los contenidos televisivos. La televisión actual se enfrenta hoy día al reto de asumir una nueva generación de espectadores, para quienes ya no es su única fuente de información, sino sólo un miembro más de un universo de comunicación global multipantalla, y por tanto tendrá que luchar por su primacía en un mundo en el que el usuario accede a una oferta informativa muy superior, incluso mutando de receptor pasivo a agente emisor capaz de desempeñar una interesante labor de cara al control de calidad de los productos audiovisuales que se difunden desde las diferentes emisoras comerciales y/o públicas.
