Tv: a Culture of Abuse? the Edinburgh International Tv Festival and 5 News Announce Industry-Wide Survey Results on Bullying and Sexual Harassment
TV: A CULTURE OF ABUSE? THE EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL TV FESTIVAL AND 5 NEWS ANNOUNCE INDUSTRY-WIDE SURVEY RESULTS ON BULLYING AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT • 71% of those surveyed have experienced bullying at work • 68% of those who were bullied did not report it • 54% of those surveyed have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace • 84% of those experiencing sexual harassment did not report it EITF and 5 News conducted an anonymous, industry-wide survey to better understand how prevalent bullying and harassment is within television. A total of 315 people completed the survey, including employees and freelancers from broadcasters and independent production companies, in roles ranging from commissioners and executive producers, to development producers, production managers and series producers. The results showed that a shocking 71% have experienced bullying at work with 65% reporting that it took place in the office and 22% on set or location. Of those reporting as victims of bullying, 78% are female and 22% male and 38% are from indie sector, 31% are freelancers, 17% broadcasters, 14% other. 68% of those surveyed didn’t report it, 78% of which were concerned that if they did, they would lose their job, or it would have negative repercussions on their career. The survey also included anonymous comments which reflect the realities of the work place: “The stigma of reporting bad behaviour needs to be removed. If anyone (especially junior team members) complain about bullying behaviour / harassment, it is them who are isolated and struggle to find work again, rather than the perpetrator.” “Freelancing keeps people silent because they fear that today's bully is tomorrow's boss.” Meanwhile 54% of people have experienced sexual harassment at work, 84% of whom didn’t report it. -

2 to Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different
2 To Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different The context for difference This chapter aims to identify some of the bands that enjoyed chart success during the late 1970s and ’80s and identify their artistic traits by means of conversations with band members and those close to the bands. This chapter does not claim to be a definitive account or an inclusive list of innovative bands but merely a viewpoint from some of the individuals who were present at the time and involved in music, creativity and youth culture. Some of these individuals were in the eye of the storm while others were more on the periphery. However, common themes emerge and testify to the Scouse resilience identified in the previous chapter. Also, identifying objective truth is a difficult task, as one band member will often have a view of his band’s history that conflicts with that of other members of the same band. As such, it is acknowledged that this chapter presents only selective viewpoints. Trying something new: In what ways were the Liverpool bands creative and different? ‘Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticized anyone for taking a chance.’ David Morrissey1 In terms of creativity, the theory underpinning this book which was stated in Chapter 1 is that successful Liverpool bands in the 1980s were different from each other and did not attempt to follow the latest local or national pop music trends. None of the bands interviewed falls into the categories of punk, disco or New Romantic, which were popular trends at the time. -
