Repeatedly during a press conference Thurs, Landgraf said he wanted to FX Nets to “remain boutique,” with execs throwing around adjectives like “scrappy” and “indie.” And he’s not going to roll out the standard programming structure and put individual execs in charge of FX, FXX and FXM, instead naming Nick Grad and Eric Schrier both as presidents of original programming for FX Nets and FX Productions, overseeing all original programming for the 3 nets. Chuck Saftler was upped to pres, program strategy and COO, FX Nets, with him over- seeing programming strategies for all the nets. “I just don’t believe in those kind of structures,” he said, referring to separate pres/gm posts for each channel. “I don’t want Nick’s intellect, creativity and administrative ability to be focused on one channel, and Eric to be focused on another.” Grad previously served as evp, original programming and dev for FX. Schrier formerly was evp, FX Productions and head of series development for FX, while Saftler was evp, FX Nets and gm, FXM.

CHAP TER 6 } Public Service Entertainment HBO’s Interventions in Politics and Culture Shayne Pepper When one thinks of “public service,” HBO is not typically the media entity that comes to mind. However, in examining HBO’s forty-year history, one notices an extensive list of socially conscious, politically engaged, and even outright public service programs. Over the years, HBO has brought a great deal of thoughtful (and sometimes controversial) cultural programming into American households. This group of films explores topics such as poverty, AIDS, women’s rights, and global injustice, often fiercely critiquing systems of inequality and oppression. Sometimes these programs even provide potential solutions and avenues of hope for some of today’s most important social problems. For example, the documen- tary Pandemic: Facing AIDS () and the romantic comedy The Girl in the Café () come in two very different forms but are clearly meant to be direct inter- ventions in efforts to fight AIDS and global poverty.

Meals and snacks are increasingly being purchased and consumed away from home. With overweight and obesity rates at an all-time high in the United States, both the public and private sectors are beginning to critically examine their role in the problem and are taking action to address the solution by helping to create a healthier food environment for their workforce and residents. Creating healthy food service policies and programs are promising strategies to improving health through the food environment. This approach closely aligns with Institute of Medicine recommendations to accelerate progress in addressing the obesity epidemic by working to create environments where healthy food and beverage options are the easy choice.i - 3 - building and implementing healthy food services Public and private sector institutions are beginning to think about how they CONCESSIONS AT A GLANCE can increase access to healthy food and beverage options sold or served in Focusing on healthy food services is their facilities.

  • Rethink Your Drink Healthy Beverage Toolkit for Healthcare
    Rethink Your Drink Healthy Beverage Toolkit for Healthcare 1 This toolkit is a resource of the Illinois Public Health Institute (IPHI), developed in collaboration with Health Care Without Harm (HCWH) and the American Heart Association (AHA) for Illinois hospitals and health care institutions interested in reducing consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. It was made possible by funding through the Department of Health and Human Services: Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) grant. CPPW is a joint project of the Cook County Department of Public Health and the Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago. The Boston Public Health Commission Healthy Beverage Toolkit was utilized with permission in the development of this resource for hospitals. 2 Rethink Your Drink Healthy Beverage Toolkit for Healthcare In May, 2011, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a report Accelerating Progress in Obesity Prevention: Solving the Weight of the Nation that shared recommendations and strategies for reversing the obesity epidemic in the United States. One of the goals is to “create food and beverage environments that ensure that healthy food and beverage options are the routine, easy choice.”1 "Five multi-faceted strategies are related to this goal. One calls for “decision makers in the business community/private sector, in nongovern- mental organizations and at all levels of government” to “adopt comprehensive strategies to reduce over- consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.”2 Illinois Public Health Institute The Illinois Public Health Institute (IPHI) works through partnerships to promote prevention and improve public health systems that maximize health and quality of life for the people of Illinois. While acknowledg- ing the impact of individual choices on health outcomes, IPHI focuses on policy, systems and environments and their role in supporting good choices or presenting barriers to health.
