Molina-Guzman maps three discursive frames: Hollywood exceptionalism, economic imperatives, and institutionalized racism and sexism as a means to reflect on the possibilities of change in production and representation in Hollywood. She focuses on 2014–2015 news coverage of Hollywood to question what she sees as the Hollywood paradox: the lack of diversity behind the camera yet the increasing shift toward on-screen diversity.

Thus contemporary debates over Hollywood's diversity are indicative of broader social conflicts. Empirically the article examines 2014–2015 news coverage of Hollywood to question the Hollywood paradox—the lack of diversity in film/TV production yet TV’s increasing shift towards on-screen diversity. It maps three discursive frames: Hollywood exceptionalism, economic imperatives, and institutionalized racism and sexism. The article concludes by using Hulu’s East Los High to reflect on TV’s digital turn and innovative models in production and representation.
