Zitat des Tages von Nancy Dubuc:
Writing a check is easy. The opportunity for real change happens when there's a person who comes to you with real passion to create a movement.
Historically, we've had to think in increments of 30 or 60 minutes. And now we have to think in increments of six seconds to six hours and everything in between.
Consumers are looking for those trusted brands to help with search and discovery and streaming content choices.
It's not enough just to put great television shows out anymore.
When you meet a veteran, thank them for their service.
My heart has always been in programming and marketing.
There needs to be a bigger focus on creative innovation versus business models and cash flow.
Veterans' issues have always spoken to me.
When I think about too much content out there, one of the things that comes to mind for me is just the volume of really outstanding creators there are.
As a global media company, A+E Networks continually seeks to create new and exciting content that will attract audiences today, tomorrow, and beyond. By investing in Vice, we are thrilled about our potential to further deliver content that meets the demands of the latest consumption trends.
Vice has a bold voice and a distinctive model in the marketplace. This channel represents a strategic fit and a new direction for the future of our portfolio of media assets.
Storytelling takes many forms, and even feature-length storytelling is often 90 minutes or two hours. There's nothing stopping us from trying to do that on a week-to-week basis.
I think it's important for History to keep experimenting with their shows. The more documentary-driven, the returning series, are the bottom of the iceberg under the ocean that keeps it moving, and then it's important to take those swings and see if we can ignite a spark with new audiences.
It takes a long time for things to get off the ground.
What I see around the management team meetings and the conference tables I sit at is that there isn't that same comfort level in other women who are rising the ranks. And I don't know how to fix that.
We knew in our gut that History needed to be more than a timeline.
There is a lot of content out there for the female demographic.
I'm a very goal-oriented person, and work is really rewarding. It's how I take care of my family, and ultimately, I'm never going to let that responsibility fall to anybody but myself.
We're not seeing enough women rising to the top.
It's easy for the board to say, 'Well, add makeover shows.' The No. 1 show for women in the United States is 'The Walking Dead.' That's not a makeover show.
It's hard for me to accept the argument that millennials are not watching TV. I'm not one to believe that our culture of TV consumption is changing dramatically. It's just how we consume and where we consume it that's changing.
I would love to see more swings in areas that we haven't explored. I can't necessarily tell you what that is - I think you know it when you see it - but I think we've had a lot of the same-themed shows in broadcast, but those shows are still performing.
When I stepped into the Lifetime role in 2010, I did a listening tour of what was going on for women in this country. There was such a parallel in Hollywood with women talking about how there are stories that are not getting made and that talented young women are not getting the opportunity to direct and write.
We have to take a really close look at making sure that we are more surgical and more tailored in dealing with the production community and our producing partners.
To address what seems like an endless cycle of gender inequity in media, I believe we need to think beyond what our industry has already tried to do through mentorships and internships. We need to stop talking and start moving the needle, and one solution is to simply give women jobs.
A+E has always looked in places where others didn't want to look. There's a service in that.
It's my job... to push people out of their comfort zones. But we got to have a reason to do it. We don't do it gratuitously.
Obviously, there needs to be parity. I think as more women get to the top, we need to make sure that is the case. It is our responsibility.
I think we all have to ask ourselves, as leaders, do we have the right processes in place for complaints to be filed and for people to feel protected?
Hearst makes smart investments and partnerships across important industries, and HearstLive is the perfect opportunity to highlight the amazing innovations coming out of all of those brands.
We have a powerful portfolio of brands that are well-positioned for future growth, both domestically and internationally.
I interned at NBC News and had a great experience there in both New York City and Washington. After graduating, I got an entry-level production job at PBS in Boston. There, I developed the bug for programming and production.
I think people take for granted the success of the original content at A&E Networks and in building brands. People have selective memory on how long that takes.
From Abby Lee Miller's intensity and her students' incredible performances to their devoted moms and its high drama, 'Dance Moms' has become one of the most compelling shows on television.
It never seems like a good idea to do something that's way out there. But usually, the thing that's way out there is where we are heading.
Each generation wants their own form of entertainment and their own form of storytelling.
