. For two years now, TTIE and Alton Carswell, MA, LMFT have worked to better understand and reveal the barriers of entry to underrepresented writers within the television industry, with “underrepresented” reflecting those who identify as people of color, women, non-binary, LGBTQIA+ and/or people with disabilities. This year’s survey asked writers to report experiences around inclusion and equity in their most recent writers’ rooms, from January 2018 to December 2019.
Breaking that down further, 6.3% of the women who responded to the survey reported being the only woman in their writers’ room. They fared the best, with 16.9% of the people of color who responded reporting they were the only people of color in their room, 38.7% for LGBTQIA+ individuals and a whopping 91.7% for people with disabilities.
While 39.9% of the underrepresented writers surveyed participated in a fellowship or writing program at some point in their career, which helped many secure representation , secure staff meetings and ultimately get staffed , writing programs do not guarantee success, and 35.2% of respondents still reported that their first or second job was as a diversity hire.
This starts with expanding and fully drawing upon educational programs to support underrepresented TV writers at all levels and provide tools to help them work their way up, as well as providing a living wage for writers’ room support staff positions to open them up to a wider applicant pool.
And yet I keep trying.
The 'underrepresented' writers reporting discrimination because they didn't advance or get promoted is not the measure of a healthy study. Many of them could simply be mediocre writers.
don't rape children their sick, worthless, godless philosophies & movies DO help to promote the idea among those who would! Time for Children to be put ahead of pervert fantasy films!
tolerated! Several sick films that are considered 'artistic' & other disgusting garbage like 'Kinsey' OR 'Birth'. The clueless pompous windbags who pathetically try to justify those worthless movies are a scary lot who should NOT be allowed anywhere near children. Even if they
When will people on the entertainment industry STOP supporting pedophiles?! I don't care how 'talented' they are or how many stinking awards they have, CHILDREN ARE A MILLION TIMES more important than all of them combined! Children deserve to be safe! Pedophilia SHOULDN'T BE....
