ANNUAL REPORT 2015 16_A70_TV_Acad_Ad.qxp_Layout 1 7/8/16 11:43 AM Page 1 PROUD MEMBER OF »CBS THE TELEVISION ACADEMY 2 ©2016 CBS Broadcasting Inc. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT HAVE INCREASED in what is widely regarded as television’s second Golden Age, so have employment opportunities for the talented men and women who create that programming. And as our industry, and the content we produce, have become more relevant, so has the relevance of the Television Academy increased as an essential resource for television professionals. In 2015, this was reflected in the steady rise in our membership — surpassing 20,000 for the first time in our history — as well as the expanding slate of Academy-sponsored activities and the heightened attention paid to such high-profile events as the Television Academy Honors and, of course, the Creative Arts Awards and the Emmy Awards. Navigating an industry in the midst of such profound change is both exciting and, at times, a bit daunting. Reimagined models of production and distribution — along with technological innovations and the emergence of new over-the-top platforms — have led to a seemingly endless surge of creativity, and an array of viewing options. As the leading membership organization for television professionals and home to the industry’s most prestigious award, the Academy is committed to remaining at the vanguard of all aspects of television. Toward that end, we are always evaluating our own practices in order to stay ahead of industry changes, and we are proud to guide the conversation for television’s future generations. -

Was the Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin a Hoax? by Josh G
Was the Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin a Hoax? by Josh G King Hussein of Jordan (left) with Yitzhak Rabin (right) November 4th marks the 22nd anniversary of the alleged assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. You may recall that Rabin won the Nobel Prize in 1994 for signing the Oslo accords with Yasser Arafat and Shimon Peres. He is still widely remembered as the “soldier of peace” who would have brought an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. if only he hadn’t been killed by a right-wing nut-job named Yigal Amir in an attempt to derail the peace process. The assassination took place at night, just after Rabin had addressed a huge peace rally held to support the Oslo accords in the face of virulent right-wing opposition. After the rally, as Rabin made his way down the steps from the speakers’ platform, Amir approached and shot him from behind. He was brought to a nearby hospital and died on the operating table, despite the doctors’ best efforts. All of this is well known, documented on videotape and firmly established by the Shamgar Commission, which investigated the assassination. It was named after its chairman, Israeli Supreme Court justice Meir Shamgar. Sort of like the Warren commission, except here they mock us by openly advertising that it was a sham. Would it surprise you to learn that there are at least half a dozen conspiracy theories swirling around Rabin’s assassination? It surprised me. When I first heard of them, I didn’t know how to make sense of all the anomalies, contradictions, and impossibilities that these theories lay bare, let alone sift through the plausibility of different claims about who was behind it all.
