Why Does TV Matter? (Live from ATX)
from The TV Campfire
We often ask ourselves, would Friends or Seinfeld, shows that follow 4-6 white, heterosexual characters, be made in 2018? Every year executives strive to expand representation both in front of and behind the camera in order to include a wider range of races, religions, sexualities, and cultures, but there is always more progress to be made. Listen in as these key decision makers discuss why these changes are essential, what strides their companies are making to be more inclusive of all types of people, and how they believe this evolving television landscape is impacting society. Episode Guests: Sarah Aubrey (EVP Original Programming, TNT), Lauren Whitney (President of Television, Miramax), Karey Burke (EVP, Freeform Programming & Development), Carolyn Newman (SVP Scripted Programming, eOne) Moderator: Lesley Goldberg (The Hollywood Reporter) This conversation is presented with the The Hollywood Reporter and The Syndication Project.
