    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.

  • Transcript of the Spoken Word, Rather Than Written Prose
    THE RULE OF LAW ORAL HISTORY PROJECT The Reminiscences of Thomas B. Wilner Columbia Center for Oral History Columbia University 2010 PREFACE The following oral history is the result of a recorded interview with Thomas B. Wilner conducted by Ronald J. Grele on February 4 and 20, and March 24, 2009. This interview is part of the Rule of Law Oral History Project. The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. VJD Session One Interviewee: Thomas B. Wilner Date: February 4, 2009 Interviewer: Ronald J. Grele Washington, D.C. Q: This is an interview with Thomas Wilner, taking place in Washington, D.C. on February 4. If you would just say who you are. Wilner: My name is Tom Wilner. I am a lawyer at Shearman & Sterling in Washington, D.C. How does it sound? Q: Terrific. It's coming through. I just have to turn this down a little. You sent me an e-mail saying that you would like to start with an overview, which I take to mean a few, general propositions about what your experience has been. Wilner: Looking back on the last seven years, there are a number of general themes that I think are interesting about Guantánamo, the first of which really has not been really looked at. [INTERRUPTION] Wilner: That was Gary Isaac. He‟s the guy I am trying to help get the job. Wilner -- 1 -- 2 Anyway, there are really some fascinating themes. One that has not been covered as much as I would want is the intricacies of the legal arguments that went on.
