TV STAFFS ARE LIGHT ON WOMEN, MINORITIES
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: Ben Grossman]
The Writers Guild of America, West, (WGAw) says that women and minority writers remain underrepresented on television staffs, according to the preliminary findings from its forthcoming Hollywood Writers Report. Among the early findings are that, while women make up 51% of the nation’s population, they remain underrepresented on TV staffs by nearly 2 to 1. The report also says that, while minorities make up more than 30% of the population, they remain underrepresented on writing staffs by nearly 3 to 1.
