Media’s Role in Combating Antisemitism: Jewish Representation on Television

As part of the ongoing PaleyImpact series Media’s Role in Combating Antisemitism, the Paley Center is gathering a panel of experts to discuss the critical importance of portraying Jewish characters and culture accurately on television, as well as the role that media can play in combating antisemitism.

Creators, actors, and cultural leaders will gather on the Paley stage to delve into the characterization of the Jewish community and culture on television, and to explore how these portrayals have both challenged and reinforced conventional thinking about the authentic Jewish experience. This conversation will also examine recurring Jewish stereotypes and how to dismantle them.
