This dissertation explores examples of how transgender cultural production can highlight less visible transgender narratives already in circulation by examining the Amazon Prime television show, Transparent, and self-representations of transmasculinity across the Instagram hashtag #ftm and a 90-week Tumblr blog about gender transition entitled Trans Canada (My Way). This dissertation illustrates how these examples both adhere to and resist dominant discourses about transness in an effort to move beyond discerning between good and bad representation and instead to lobby for more and different transgender representation. Using the frameworks of critical transgender studies, media studies, queer theory and creative nonfiction, this dissertation explores the process of telling transness and considers how individuals use self- respresentation to exact agency over how their transgender identities and bodies are spoken of and for.

    November 4, 2020 As members of the Writers Guild of America, East, we are proud to stand with our comrades on the staff of the Committee to Protect Journalists in their demand for a fair contract. The WGA East and CPJ share an institutional commitment to advocating for the safety, security, and freedom of writers. We therefore urge CPJ management to reinforce that commitment by agreeing to a union contract which: • fosters a more diverse, equitable, and sustainable workplace through increased salary minimums and fair across-the-board pay increases; and • demonstrates CPJ's recognition of—and investment in—their staff's work by codifying the organization's health and retirement benefits in the contract. After a year of negotiations,Deadline it's time for a contract at the Committee to Protect Journalists.

  • 10-Year Review of Gender and EMMY Nominations
    INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR REVIEW OF GENDER & EMMY NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonpro!t organization endeavoring to raise the visibility, viability and decision-mak- ing power of women and girls in media and, thereby, ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of intercon- nected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a culture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences and images are neither suf!ciently ampli!ed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spot- light gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment !lm and television, social media and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual “The Status of Women in the U.S. Media” report. Our WMC Women Under Siege project investigates sexualized violence. Our original content channels — WMC Features, WMC FBomb, WMC Speech Project and the “Women’s Media Center Live with Robin Morgan” radio program — provide women’s perspectives on both headline stories and timely events that are ignored, not wholly captured or misrepresented in the mainstream media.

The Edison got its start as a music club in the 1930s, featuring the era’s top Swing bands. Then, in the 1990s it briefly became The Supper Club, hosting everyone from Tony Bennett to David Bowie. In the interim, it was the Edison Theatre, home to many Broadway shows, including the infamous “Oh! Calcutta!” But tonight is not about great music or Seventies nudity. It’s about elevating the words of the writer. The Writers Guild of America, East brings us here to honor some of the best work that our members have produced in the past year.

By following the role of recurring, limited guest, and background actors in the first season’s writing, casting, and marketing, this thesis challenges the popular narrative of showrunner Matthew Weiner’s centrality as a creative authorial figurehead. In addition, this project considers Weiner and his production team’s investment in making the show an “accurate” representation of the 1960s. Though crucial to maintaining the show’s “quality” status, the labor of recurring, guest, and background actors as bodies that appear “period accurate” is often obscured by the contribution of more famous players, like Weiner and the show’s principal cast.
