			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Female and minority writers <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/Smallville-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1533.html" target="_blank">Smallville seasons dvd</a> are still underrepresented in television, according to the statistics released Wednesday by the Writers Guild <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/Medium-Seasons-1-4-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1743.html" target="_blank">Medium seasons dvd</a> of America.<br />
In the 2009 Hollywood Writers Report <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/Dollhouse-Season-1-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1742.html" target="_blank">Dollhouse seasons dvd</a>, the guild shows that women's employment in TV has remained at 28 percent from 2005 to 2007 while minority groups' share of employment declined 10 percent to 9 percent <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/The-Apprentice-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Box-Set-DVDS-1744.html" target="_blank">The Apprentice seasons dvd</a>.<br />
Among minorities, Asian TV writers <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/Ally-Mcbeal-Seasons-1-5-DVD-Box-Set-DVDS-1746.html" target="_blank">Ally Mcbeal seasons dvd</a>' employment increased the most (from 24 people to 54) and African-American writers took the biggest hit <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/The-Office-Seasons-1-5-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1745.html" target="_blank">The Office seasons dvd</a> (from 168 to 143).<br />
The report attributed this decline <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/24-Hours-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1672.html" target="_blank"> 24 hours seasons dvd</a>, at least partially, to the closure of UPN, which was <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/One-Tree-Hill-Seasons-1-6-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1680.html" target="_blank">one tree hill seasons dvd </a> home to a number of primarily African-American series. The UPN merged with the WB in 2006 to become the CW <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/That-70s-Show-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1671.htm" target="_blank">That 70s Show seasons dvd</a>, which employed the biggest share of minority staff/writer-producers for the 2007-2008 season. ABC owner Disney — which employs the highest number of TV writers overall — and CBS boast the largest rosters of female TV <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/The-Wire-Seasons-1-5-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1754.html" target="_blank"> The wire seasons dvd</a> writers in the industry.<br />
<img src="http://static.tvguide.com/MediaBin/Content/Old/0-2009June-September/090831/News/Todays_News_Our_Take/2_tues/090901l-word1.jpg" border="0" alt="" class="tcattdimgresizer" onload="NcodeImageResizer.createOn(this);" /><br />
Female writer recalls hostile workplace at Late Night; calls for more diversity<br />
During the 2007-2008 TV season <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/CSI-Lasvegas-Seasons-1-9-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1571.htm" target="_blank">CSI Las Vegas</a>, the report found some series still fail to employ minority or female writers altogether. Thirty-three percent of series had no minorities on staff <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/CSI-Miami-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1650.html" target="_blank">CSI Miami DVD box set</a> and 11 percent of shows had no women on staff. The shows with the most minority and female writers, such as The Game and <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/The-L-Word-Seasons-1-6-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1675.html" target="_blank">The L Word seasons dvd</a>, respectively, are no longer on the air.<br />
For TV writing staff positions, the news was slightly better for minority writers. Their share of all staff/writer-producer positions increased <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/Navy-NCIS-Naval-Criminal-Investigative-Service-Seasons-1-6-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1630.html" target="_blank">NCIS DVD box set</a> slightly during the 2007-2008 season in comparison to the 2005-06 season. For TV comedies in particular, minority writers held an equal chance of working on comedies but women <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/Smallville-Seasons-1-8-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1533.html" target="_blank">Smallville DVD box set</a> were less likely to work on the staff. As far as leadership positions, both female and minority writers were half as likely as their white male counterparts to be showrunners on a series.<br />
GLAAD report: LGBT characters hit new high on broadcast, decline on cable<br />
The report noted <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/Navy-NCIS-Naval-Criminal-Investigative-Service-Seasons-1-6-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1630.html" target="_blank">NCIS seasons dvd</a> that both minority and female writers have narrowed the earnings gap with white males but a notable difference still exists among these three groups. The report states minority writers earned $75,658 and women took home $82,604 in 2007, compared to $87,984 for white men <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/Bones-Seasons-1-4-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1569.html" target="_blank">Bones dvd</a>.<br />
The report notes that female and minority representation remains dismal compared to the demographics of the nation's population. In the U.S., more than half of the population is female and almost one-third <a href="http://www.boxset4less.com/products/Bones-Seasons-1-4-DVD-Boxset-DVDS-1569.html" target="_blank">Bones series dvd</a> is non-white.<br />
&quot;Breaking out of the stagnation in writer diversity ... will require bold, new approaches,&quot; the report states. &quot;Only then will we begin to make appreciable progress toward catching up with a changing America. Only then will we move closer to making sure that all of our stories are told.&quot;</div>

Cougar Town and Friends star Courteney Cox is looking forward to the next installment in the Scream franchise.<br />
<br />
Check out photos of Cox through the years<br />
<br />
Cox, 45, will reprise her role as reporter Gale Weathers in Scream 4, which is being written by <a href="http://www.dvdscollection.com/CSI-NY-Seasons-1-5-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1787.html" target="_blank">CSI NY tv series dvd</a> Kevin Williamson (who wrote the first two films).<br />

I'm probably miserable, <a href="http://www.dvdscollection.com/CSI-NY-Seasons-1-5-DVD-Box-Set-DVD-1787.html" target="_blank">CSI NY tv series dvd</a> and then I'm sure a lot of murdering will happen.&quot;<br />

<br />
CHICAGO : US talk show queen Oprah Winfrey will end her influential daytime show in 2011, her production company said Thursday, amid reports she wanted to concentrate on the launch of her own TV channel. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.channelnewsasia.com/imagegallery/store/phppOEVDH.jpg" border="0" alt="" class="tcattdimgresizer" onload="NcodeImageResizer.createOn(this);" /><br />
US talk show host Oprah Winfrey.<br />
<br />
After more than two decades on the air, Winfrey's talk show has become a cultural phenomenon in the United States. <br />
<br />
Don Halcombe, a spokesman for Harpo Productions, declined to comment on why Winfrey had made the decision. <br />
<br />
&quot;She's going to talk about it on the show tomorrow,&quot; he told AFP. <br />
<br />
The New York Times reported that Winfrey, who has become something of an entertainment mogul in the US, will be ending the syndicated television programme in order to give her full attention to the launch of her own channel. <br />
<br />
OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, a joint venture between Winfrey and Discovery Communications, was originally scheduled to air in 2010, but getting the cable channel launched has proved &quot;challenging&quot; due to &quot;management turnover and an uncertain advertising climate,&quot; the Times reported. <br />
