  • Steve Burke Chief Executive Officer Nbcuniversal 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112 Jeff Shell Incoming Chief Executive
    Steve Burke Chief Executive Officer NBCUniversal 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112 Jeff Shell Incoming Chief Executive Officer NBC Universal 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112 December 17th, 2019 Dear Mr. Burke and Mr. Shell, We write as members of the New York State Legislature to express our concern about allegations of a toxic workplace environment at NBCUniversal. There is growing evidence of a culture that silences victims of harassment and those who report inappropriate workplace behavior at NBC. NBCUniversal’s recent decision not to renew Gabrielle Union’s contract on America’s Got Talent is just the ​ ​ latest example of a concerning pattern of behavior on the part of NBC. Union was allegedly let go after raising concerns about racist jokes made on set and having been told repeatedly that her hairstyles were “too black.” These allegations represent unacceptable workplace behavior that no one should be subject to, let alone terminated for reporting. We are grateful that NBC has committed to Union that they will investigate her allegations and termination. However, NBC must be transparent about the findings of their investigation and take concrete steps to reform the toxic culture throughout the company. Union’s experience is only one example of the systemic silencing of victims of harassment and those who have spoken up at NBC. As reported extensively by Ronan Farrow and others, NBC ignored complaints of sexual misconduct against Matt Lauer and stymied Farrow’s reporting on Harvey Weinstein while at NBC. Farrow has also reported that at least seven women have signed non-disclosure agreements with the company after alleging sexual harassment, including individuals who made complaints about Lauer before November 2017.

  • Give a Year. Change the World
    give a year. change the world. ANNUAL REPORT & DONOR RECOGNITION BOOK 2010 Dear Friends, Education is the foundation of the American dream. Yet more than one million students give up on school in the United States every year. The high school dropout crisis is a national epidemic that requires bold action. There is hope. We know how to identify the students most at risk and we know what they need to succeed. Research shows that we can identify students who are likely to drop out as early as middle school by tracking early warning indicators of poor attendance, behavior issues and course failure in math and English. City Year is harnessing the energy and idealism of young adults in national service and placing them in these high-need schools to help students stay on track – and get back on track – to graduation and life success. This year, City Year united more than 1,500 diverse young leaders in full-time service to help turn around our lowest performing schools, close the education achievement gap and help students succeed. City Year deploys our AmeriCorps members into high-poverty schools, serving as "near-peer" role models and performance coaches, helping students develop socio-emotionally and achieve academically. Corps members work with at-risk students from 7:30 a.m. until the last student leaves the after-school program at dusk. We are seeing promising results: sharp increases in student attendance, progress in behavior and improved course performance in math and English. In 2010, 90% of all students tutored by City Year improved raw literacy scores, and the number of students with less than 90% attendance was cut in half as a result of City Year’s attendance support activities.

  • Cpage Paper 5 Marae Sept 30
    2002 - 5 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Media Ownership Working Group Program Diversity and the Program Selection Process on Broadcast Network Television By Mara Einstein September 2002 Executive Summary: This paper examines the extent to which program diversity has changed over time on prime time, broadcast network television. This issue is assessed using several different measurement techniques and concludes that while program diversity on prime time broadcast network television has fluctuated over time, it is not significantly different today than it was in 1966. The paper also explores the factors used by broadcast networks in recent years in program selection. It finds that networks’ program selection incentives have changed in recent years as networks were permitted to take ownership interests in programming. 2 A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON PROGRAM DIVERSITY Mara Einstein Department of Media Studies Queens College City University of New York The views expressed in this paper are those of the author alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Communications Commission, any Commissioners, or other staff. 3 Introduction This paper analyzes the correlation between the FCC’s imposition of financial interest and syndication rules and program diversity on prime time broadcast network television. To demonstrate this, diversity will be examined in terms of 1) content diversity (types of programming) and 2) marketplace diversity (suppliers of programming). This analysis suggests that the structural regulation represented by the FCC’s financial interest and syndication rules have not been an effective means of achieving content diversity. Study Methodology By evaluating the content of programming over the periods surrounding the introduction and elimination of the financial interest and syndication rules, we will measure the trend in program diversity during the time when the financial interest and syndication (“fin-syn”) rules were in effect.
