WHO CONTROLS THE TV NEWS... AND WHO DOESN'T?



 
 
WHO CONTROLS THE TV NEWS WHO DOESN'T?
Parent Company Network News Interests News Shows
In 1996, 24.1% of TV news directors were female.

Among the top 10 most visible correspondents at NBC, CBS and ABC in 1996, only four of the 30 were women.

Nearly 2/3 of all guests invited to appear on Today and Good Morning America in 1996 were male.

Women make up 36.2% and minorities 18% of the TV news work force.

"We are here to serve the advertisers. That is our raison d'etre."
