"In many ways, television today is about women more than men.

More women watch television than men; female producers and writers have had huge success in prime time and daytime; in January, women will occupy two of the three seats as anchors of network evening newscasts.

But there is one glaring exception: very few women make it inside the writing rooms for late-night television hosts, despite that women make up a larger proportion of their audience than men."

Read the following New York Times article by Bill Carter

I think it's still a bit of a 'boys club'.

Hmmm, So why can't we have a room of our own? Where can we start? Any suggestions? I do have a screen play I'd like to see produced.
