2019 Hrts Diversity & Inclusion Resource Guide 2019 HRTS DIVERSITY & INCLUSION RESOURCE GUIDE Presented by PREVIEW On behalf of all of us at HRTS, I am honored to introduce the HRTS Diversity & Inclusion Resource Guide. The concept for this guide was born at last year’s HRTS Spotlight Breakfast on how diversity drives innovation, when an attendee asked the panel, “How do we get involved? Where are your programs listed?” Recognizing HRTS is in the perfect position to provide a comprehensive guide -- as the premier community of entertainment professionals dedicated to networking and sharing information – we began to develop it. Then, I met Nancy Weintraub, Chief Development Officer of Easterseals Southern California. She shared powerful information about the opportunity to better serve our audiences by being more inclusive of people with disabilities. Check out the Easterseals section starting on p. R28 to read about the eye-opening perspective I’m talking about. As part of a sponsorship across several events, Easterseals Disability Services became the Presenting Sponsor of this inaugural resource, as well as of the 2nd annual event on inclusion, representation and diversity where we are debuting it. Participation from dozens of HRTS Corporate Member companies and partner organizations that shared their approach to inclusion and how to apply to their programs blew us away. And it illustrates the greatness of our business community and the power to come together. Naturally we look forward to the day a guide like this is obsolete. Until then, this initiative exemplifies how we aim to work with our members and partners to build on the 70+ year tradition of serving as a valuable resource for information, access and the forums to advance the most important conversations about our industry. I want to extend our huge thanks to Easterseals Disability Services for making this guide possible, and to all of you for your participation. All my best, Melissa Grego CEO, HRTS 2 | HRTS DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION RESOURCE GUIDE 2019 DIVERSITY & INCLUSION RESOURCE GUIDE | HRTS CORPORATE MEMBERS The stories we tell at A+E Networks® depict the rich diversity of our world and reflect our core values of inclusion and building bridges across backgrounds.

  • The Fan/Creator Alliance: Social Media, Audience Mandates, and the Rebalancing of Power in Studio–Showrunner Disputes
    Media Industries 5.2 (2018) The Fan/Creator Alliance: Social Media, Audience Mandates, and the Rebalancing of Power in Studio–Showrunner Disputes Annemarie Navar-Gill1 UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN amngill [AT] umich.edu Abstract Because companies, not writer-producers, are the legally protected “authors” of television shows, when production disputes between series creators and studio/ network suits arise, executives have every right to separate creators from their intellectual property creations. However, legally disempowered series creators can leverage an audience mandate to gain the upper hand in production disputes. Examining two case studies where an audience mandate was involved in overturning a corporate production decision—Rob Thomas’s seven-year quest to make a Veronica Mars movie and Dan Harmon’s firing from and subsequent rehiring to his position as the showrunner of Community—this article explores how the social media ecosystem around television rebalances power in disputes between creators and the corporate entities that produce and distribute their work. Keywords: Audiences, Authorship, Management, Production, Social Media, Television Scripted television shows have always had writers. For the most part, however, until the post-network era, those writers were not “authors.” As Catherine Fisk and Miranda Banks have shown in their respective historical accounts of the WGA (Writers Guild of America), television writers have a long history of negotiating the terms of what “authorship” meant in the context of their work, but for most of the medium’s history, the cultural validation afforded to an “author” eluded them.2 This began to change, however, in the 1990s, when the term “showrunner” began to appear in television trade press.3 “Showrunner” is an unofficial title referring to the executive producer and head writer of a television series, who acts in effect as the show’s CEO, overseeing the program’s story development and having final authority in essentially all production decisions.

  • Television Studio Camera Replacement Submitted by WFSU-TV
    Television Studio Camera Replacement submitted by WFSU-TV PROJECT DESCRIPTION: WFSU Television proposes a project to replace its three standard definition studio cameras with new high definition camera systems. As the public television station serving Tallahassee and Panama City, WFSU-TV has operated for more than 50 years and provided quality local programs along with its PBS schedule. The addition of 4fsu, Comcast Cable channel 4, in the late 1990s created a new outlet for programming specifically geared to the Florida State University community as well as a wide range of learning/work opportunities for FSU students either as part of a class, as volunteers, or as paid OPS employees. WFSU-TV has an ongoing equipment replacement/upgrade plan. We were in the final stages of refurbishing our studios with the latest high definition television equipment when the federal grants program we used for major purchases was discontinued. Award of technology fee funding to WFSU-TV would allow the station to replace old equipment that is well past its effective service life, give students the opportunity to work with top-of-the-line equipment and facilities, and significantly improve its local/University programming production. WFSU-TV already has much of the equipment required for production of high definition television; cameras are the last big piece of the puzzle. We propose to match the requested award, $200,000, with funds we had been setting aside prior to the federal grant discontinuance. Because we were already well along in our replacement plan we have completed a fair amount of research into costs, and would be able to generate a competitive solicitation shortly after the award.

  • The Studio Interaction As a Contextual Resource for TV-Production
    Linköping University Postprint The studio interaction as a contextual resource for TV-production Mathias Broth Original publication: Mathias Broth, The studio interaction as a contextual resource for TV-production, 2008, Journal of Pragmatics, (40), 5, 904-926. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pragma.2007.10.010. Copyright: Elsevier B.V., http://www.elsevier.com/ Postprint available free at: Linköping University E-Press: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-11631 The studio interaction as a contextual resource for TV- production Mathias Broth Department of Culture & Communication, Linköping University, 581 83 Linköping, Sweden Abstract The present text focuses on the complex context of TV-production. The study shows how the dynamics of the studio interaction can be made relevant as a crucial contextual resource for the production crew filming and broadcasting the very same interaction. The mutual intelligibility of the crew’s indexical practices (e.g. talk, switches and camera movement) is shown to be grounded in a state of mutual attention to the unfolding studio interaction. Based on a number of recordings made in the control room during the live production of the French TV-show Rideau Rouge (January 20, 2004) the study describes in particular the crew’s orientations towards three dimensions of the endogenous organization of the studio interaction: turn construction, sequence organization, and activity constitution. The analysis confirms the general relevance of these orders of organization for talk-in-interaction, and shows how each can be used for the practical purposes of the production of the show. The study also reflects upon possible mediating effects when perceiving the studio interaction at a distance.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Orlando Patterson Author: Rupert Russell Dying of Encouragement: From Pitch to Production in Hollywood Abstract Social scientists have long held that the media has a profound effect on modern societies. However, the cultural production of motion pictures and television shows has largely been neglected as a topic of inquiry. The following dissertation seeks to fill this lacuna in the current research by offering a systematic, comprehensive, and comparative analysis of the industry known colloquially as “Hollywood.” Specifically, this dissertation seeks to uncover the matrix of causal processes that filter the infinite array of potential television shows and motion pictures to the chosen few that are selected for production. This process is known as “development and green lighting.” Drawing from 110 interviews with writers, directors, producers, agents, managers, studio executives, network executives, financiers, and assistants who had been involved in the development and green lighting process, I explore not just decision making but the social milieu within which those decisions were made.

Washburn The line between news and entertainment on television grows more blurry every day. Heated debates over what is news and what is entertainment pepper local, national, and cable newsrooms. Cable channels devoted entirely to entertainment and a plethora of syndicated, half-hour entertainment news magazines air nightly. It was not always so. When “Entertainment Tonight” premiered in 1981, the first daily half-hour syndicated news program, no one thought it would survive. No one believed there was enough celebrity and Hollywood news to fill a daily half-hour, much less interest an audience. Still, “ET” set out to become the glitzy, glamorous newscast of record for the entertainment industry and twenty-seven years later is still going strong.
