The Caribbean Earthquake Awareness Week January 7 to 13
The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management
(ODPEM) is observing Earthquake Awareness Week from January 7-13 under the theme ‘Preparing for the quake helps reduce damage after the shake’. The week was officially launched on Monday (January 8) at ODPEM’s Haining Road offices in St. Andrew. Minister of Local Government and Community Development, Hon. Desmond McKenzie, said that personal responsibility is essential in earthquake management. He cited the 1907 Kingston earthquake, in which more than 1,000 people died, as a reminder of the country’s vulnerability and the devastation such disasters can cause. “We need to rid ourselves of the attitude that ‘It can’t happen to me’ and accept that earthquakes and other disasters can happen anytime and anywhere,” he said in a message read by Director of rban and Regional Planning in the Ministry, Marsha Henry-Martin.
Accompong Town to Benefit from Economic Opportunities Programme –Grange Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, the Honourable Olivia Grange says her Ministry will be expanding its Economic Opportunities Workshop programme to include the Maroon community of Accompong. Minister Grange was speaking in the community at a ceremony on January 6 to mark the 280th anniversary of the signing of the Peace Treaty between the Accompong Town Maroons and the British Government. “We created an economic programme for the Maroon communities that surround the Blue and John Crow Mountains and we are now expanding that programme to include Accompong as we prepare the dossier for the Cockpit Country to be designated a World Heritage Site.” The Economic Opportunities Workshop was created to provide residents living in and around the Blue and John Crow Mountains World Heritage Site with the tools, resources and information to take advantage of the Blue and John Crow Mountains being declared a World Heritage Site. The Minister noted that the celebration which is held annually and also recognizes the birthday of the historic Maroon Leader Captain Kojo, “must not be just for revelry or feel good, but must also bring financial revenues to our people.”
Kendrick Lamar, Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith And Top Dawg Entertainment To Produce Black Panther: The Album Marvel Studios will integrate multiple original recordings created specifically for the film.
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 4, 2018 / PRNewswire/ -- Internationally-celebrated Grammy® Award–winning global superstar Kendrick Lamar and Billboard Magazine's Executive of the Year, Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith, are set to curate and produce "Black Panther: The Album." The album will feature music from and inspired by Marvel Studios' Black Panther film including the lead single, "All The Stars," featuring Kendrick Lamar and label mate SZA, produced by Sounwave. "Black Panther" is directed by critically acclaimed filmmaker Ryan Coogler and stars Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Oscar® winner Lupita Nyong'o and Danai Gurira, among others. Lamar and Tiffith will collaborate with Coogler directly in the creation of music specific to the needs of the film. This will mark the first time that Lamar, whom Rolling Stone dubbed "the greatest rapper alive," will write, produce, perform and curate for a major motion picture. This collaboration represents the first time in Marvel Cinematic Universe history that
The World Oprah Winfrey Considering Running for the US Presidency?
Lamar was hand-picked by Coogler for this first film music collaboration. "I am honored to be working with such an incredible artist whose work has been so inspirational, and whose artistic themes align with those we explore in the film. I can't wait for the world to hear what Kendrick and TDE have in store," said Coogler. Lamar added, "Marvel Studios' Black Panther is amazing, from its cast to its director. The magnitude of this film showcases a great marriage of art and culture. I'm truly honored to contribute my knowledge of producing sound and writing music alongside Ryan and Marvel's vision." Top Dawg added: "Working on such a powerful movie is a great opportunity. We're always working on new goals at TDE, so teaming up with Disney, Marvel Studios and the Black Panther film makes perfect sense." Kendrick Lamar is one of the most streamed artists in the world with his latest album in excess of two billion combined streams. Fresh off his six wins at the 2017 VMAs, including Video of the Year, Best Hip Hop video, Best Cinematography, Direction, Art Direction and Visual Effects, he is regarded as one of the most important, critically acclaimed and creatively inventive artists globally.
Oprah Winfreys latest speech at the Golden Globes has people around her rethinking whether she would run for president in 2020. When asked by the media her partner stated that yes she would probally run. Would she be able to beat Donald Trump? In our opinion Oprah Winfrey is probally the only person that could beat Donald Trump. When Donald Trump was asked about it he said he welcomed the challenge. Winfrey says before Trump’s election she thought that she didn’t have the necessary government experience to run the country but now she thinks differently. The billionaire businessman had never before held public office before his election victory in last November. Winfrey has over 25 years hosting a syndicated talk show and says her ultimate purpose of the show was to let people know that “we really are more alike than we are different.”
Ethiopia bans foreign adoptions
Maroons Celebrate 280 Years Of Treaty With British “The Holness administration will always support the maroons and it should be noted that the Cockpit Country falls in their nation.”
Maroons Celebrate 280 Years Of Treaty With British at the community called Accompong ... Minister Olivia Grange, who has responsibility for Culture etc, was one of their special guests on January 6, 2018. This is an annual event and is always held on that date. The maroon community is a government by itself who are in charge of their own affairs ... celebrating 280 years" declared Minister Grange in an exclusive interview with Vision's SIC.
"The government has responded to calls for environmental protection for the Cockpit Country watershed and species." Hon. Olivia Grange concluded. We at Vision Newspaper congratulate the Maroons on their success and milestone. We were there for the festivities in Accompong and will post stories and pictures on our visit to our website. www.visionnewspaper.ca Hopeton O'Connor-Dennie is Senior International Correspondent & Photojournalist for Vision Newspaper Canada
WADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AFP) — Ethiopia’s parliament has passed a law banning the adoption of Ethiopian children by foreigners, a government spokesman and diplomats told AFP on Wednesday. The vote follows an April moratorium on foreign adoptions issued by Ethiopia’s government which led to the suspension of dozens of cases, including some of parents who had already completed the legal adoption process. A spokesman for Ethiopia’s ministry of women, children and youth affairs confirmed the passing of the law on Tuesday without providing further details, but local media reports lauded the move claiming foreign adoptions have “opened a door for different crimes against minors.” In 2013 an American couple were jailed for manslaughter for the death of their adoptive Ethiopian daughter two years earlier. Foreign diplomats in Addis Ababa said they hoped adoptions currently underway would not be interrupted. “We anticipate that the implementation of the policy change will be managed in a considerate and forthright manner and that families currently undertaking the adoption process are allowed to complete it in accordance with current policy,” said a US embassy spokesman.

News Sandz Fiasco Has International Implications … Major Airport in Jamaica Path Blocked. report on the incident …. has left many shaking their heads. This is shameful and totally unacceptable, Mr police Commissioner George Quallo. Will anyone be held accountable for this fiasco which has left outgoing airline passengers fuming and flight delays. Party Got Permit There was a planned party in the vicinity of the airport on the evening of New Year’s Day 2018 that attracted a large turnout. This event led to pile up of vehicular traffic that is believed caused a gridlock that restricted the free flow of traffic to our main international airport Norman Manley. The image of brand Jamaica has been seriously tarnished. Eyes of the world have been looking at us and the image of us not being able to manage a basic governance issue like traffic management is appalling.
JUTC Bus Reports are that a disabled bus also led to the back up of traffic on or around the vicinity of the airport route. There was a protracted delay in extracting this broken down bus. Report Delay As the proverbial finger pointing continues and the police commissioner finds it virtually impossible to meet a reasonable deadline for a written
The required permits were granted to Sandz, by the local municipality. So what caused the gridlock? Was it that the Police dropped the ball? Motor Bikes Chartered Passengers were seen walking for miles and chartering motor bikes so as to get to the Norman Manley International Airport to catch flights. Some flight crews being delayed causing flights to not fly due to the chaos. Planes
were grounded overnight as crews needed rest time in accordance with airline regulations. In short, major dislocation occured all around. Commentary There has been a raging debate about the Sandz entertainment event held on News Year’s Day that caused a gridlock leading to the airport flight delays. We will withhold further comment until ongoing investigations are complete. The long awaited report from the Police Commissioner’s Office on the gridlock in the vicinity of the airport is expected today Friday January 5, 2018. The whole incident is unfortunate, to say the least. We hope all questions will be answered to avoid a repetition of this gridlock.

Journalist Ian Boyne Confirmed Dead at 60 After Recovering From Coma
It is with deep regret that we report that veteran journalist and author Ian Boyne has passed. He made his transition today December 18, after promising signs of recovery from a reported medical emergency that plunged into a coma and intensive care at the Tony Thwaites trauma facility, UCH where he made what he (Boyne) described as a “miracle” of a recovery … as Boyne reacted when relocated from intensive care and was making what promised to be a full recovery. Death His dead therefore has been to us surprising, to say the least.
This was the last news we expected at this time, although not questioning God’s work. To his family we say be comforted in your grief as Boyne impacted many lives positively. Pegasus Lobby Conference Stabbed In the Back? It was less than a month ago we spoke to each other at the Pegasus Hotel, at the entrance to the IMF Conference at which a JIS operative “stabbed me in the back” I lodged a verbal complaint to Boyne and also took the opportunity to capture his image. This may turn out to
be the last picture taken of him in an official capacity. Boyne as you are aware was Deputy CEO of the Jamaica Information Service (JIS). which he joined in 1975. In 1983 he worked with Industry Minister Hon Douglas Vaz as speech writer and for years later interacted with other senior officials of both sides of government up to his passing.
In my perspective the journalistic profession has lost one of its finest sons. In reacting to the news “Cliff Hughes, Emmy award winner of Nationwide News Network (NNN) said inter alia “this is a great loss to the profession”
JIS NO LONGER …
Career
The action of this JIS operative has strained our relations with JIS … in short Vision Newspaper, no longer hold JIS as a trusted partner. So far we have stopped short of severing all links with The Jamaica Information Service. We have good reason to feel compelled to lean in this direction. Any self respecting entity would be so moved. JIS as an organization has no longer commanded our trust or confidence, as a result of the alleged back stabbing incident. It made Brutus’ betrayal of Caesar look like child’s play.
He worked at the now defunct Daily News Newspaper in the 70s. Then the The Agency For Public Information (API) now JIS. Boyne held up John Maxwell now deceased, very highly. Maxwell was fearless and a consummate professional to many journalists.
Despite the above we held Boyne personally in the highest regard. We feel he was unfortunately a victim trapped in an organization which showed
visible signs of being “morally bankrupt”. Full stop.
Reactions Desmond Allen, a well known veteran journalist and former founder of St. Catherine Reporter said he was impacted by Boyne and how he was able to work with both governments. Cordell Green, Executive Director, Broadcasting Commission “Boyne transcended political sphere .. he gave selflessly
to this country … ” declared Green. Boyne fell ill on December 2, he recovered and said “I was deeply touched by the outpouring of love” said a grateful Ian Boyne PM Holness reacts … “A sad morning, we have lost one of our great sons” … He served 9 ministers … “I visited him a week ago in hospital. I grew up listening to Profile and was interviewed twice by him on his (Profile) show. He tried to get out the true character of his interviewees … he served the government as chief liaison officer. He inspired many Jamaicans. He was a professional and a great loss to the journalistic profession … Even if he was critical, his criticism was factually based and professional …” asserted PM Andrew Holness. Gone too soon Ian Boyne at 60 … may his soul rest in peace and let light perpetual shrine on him. Hopeton O’Connor-Dennie is Senior International Correspondent & Photojournalist for Vision Newspaper.

Desmond Cole wins 2017 PEN Canada/Ken Filkow Prize for freedom of expression Chair, Carmen Cheung. “With the Filkow Prize, PEN Canada recognizes Cole’s integrity in putting aside personal interests to speak out about racial injustice in Canada.”
TORONTO, /CNW/ – Desmond Cole has won the 2017 PEN Canada/Ken Filkow Prize. The $1,000 prize is awarded annually to an individual or group whose work has advanced freedom of expression in Canada. “PEN Canada understands that exercising the right to free expression often comes at personal cost,” said PEN Canada’s Canadian Issues Committee
In 2015, Cole wrote about his experience of being routinely stopped by police because of racial profiling for Toronto Life. “The Skin I’m In” earned him a following and Cole continued to comment on issues of race in Canada, often in connection with the practice of police carding, and the Black Lives Matter movement. In April 2017, Cole’s protest at Toronto Police Services Board meeting led to his departure from the Toronto Star after its editors told him activism was not compatible with his work as a columnist. The paper was widely criticized for its selective application of its policy
on activism, most notably by former Star columnist and activist Michele Landsberg. “Too often, Canada defines itself by looking out the window at its neighbour,” said Cole, “instead of looking in the mirror. We have to deal with our reflection, however uncomfortable that might be. I’m so honoured to receive this award.” The PEN Canada/Ken Filkow Prize is named in memory of Kenneth A. Filkow, Q.C., a distinguished Winnipeg lawyer, former chair of the Manitoba Human Rights Commission, and an active member of PEN Canada’s Canadian Issues Committee. The prize is funded by Cynthia Wine, and former PEN Canada President, Philip Slayton, and juried by the current members of the Canadian Issues Committee. In 2016, the prize was awarded to author and blogger Raihan
Abir, who fled Bangladesh to Canada in 2015 after receiving a series of death threats. The inaugural winner was the artist and environmentalist, Franke James. Cole will formally receive the prize in February, as part of PEN Canada’s presentation for Freedom to Read Week at the Toronto Public Library (February 25 – March 3). Additional Information PEN Canada/Ken Filkow Prize 2016 Winner Raihan Abir 2015 Winner Franke James (Inaugural) PEN Canada is a nonpartisan organization of writers that believes in the power of the written word. Together we celebrate literature, defend free expression, and aid persecuted writers. www.pencanada.ca
Ontario Working to Build an Inclusive and Equitable Society for All Province Releases First Anti-Black Racism Strategy Setting long-term targets to reduce disparities for Black Ontarians in the child welfare, justice and education systems Creating anti-racism tools to support transformation within the government Partnering with organizations that serve a high percentage of Black Ontarians to run pilot projects to understand how anti-Black racism manifests and work in real time to address it Fostering stronger relationships with the Black community
Ontario is taking action to address the intergenerational impacts of slavery, an extended history of racial stigmatization and ongoing systemic racism that contributes to disparity in outcomes for Black Ontarians. The province today released the Anti-Black Racism Strategy, which creates a roadmap for how government and its institutions will work to eliminate disparities for Black Ontarians in the child welfare, education and justice sectors. The strategy focuses on improving outcomes by:
Increasing public awareness and understanding of systemic racism and its impacts on Black communities. Fighting anti-Black racism is part of Ontario’s plan to create fairness and opportunity during this period of rapid economic change. The plan includes a higher minimum wage and better working conditions, free tuition for hundreds of thousands of students, easier access to affordable child care, and free prescription drugs for everyone under 25 through the biggest expansion of medicare in a generation. QUOTES
“Everyone in Ontario has the right to lead a life free of prejudice and discrimination. We can’t stand by and allow systemic racism to persist — it is wrong. And it’s up to all of us to tackle these issues head-on. When Black people in Ontario are victimized or discriminated against in any way, we are all diminished. With the launch of this Anti-Black Racism Strategy, we are making ourselves accountable in the fight to eliminate the discrimination and inequality that Ontario’s Black community continues to endure. Together we will build a fairer, better province for everyone.”
Descent (2015-2024), and is taking action to eliminate anti-Black racism. •
Between 2001 and 2016, Ontario’s Black population increased by more than 50 per cent, to approximately 627,000, or 5 per cent of Ontario’s population.
•
Of all racialized people in Ontario under the age of 15, 20 per cent are Black.
•
By 2036, racialized people will account for an estimated 48 per cent of Ontario’s population.
•
The Anti-Black Racism Strategy is a commitment outlined in A Better Way Forward: Ontario’s 3-Year Anti-Racism Strategic Plan, released earlier this year, which builds on decades of activism, research and reports calling for government action to address anti-Black racism.
•
Systemic racism occurs when institutions or systems create or maintain racial inequity, often as a result of hidden institutional biases in policies, practices and procedures that privilege some groups and disadvantage others.
— Kathleen Wynne, Premier “The persistence of anti-Black racism in Ontario hinders not just Black people, but everyone in our province. When we all have equitable access to life’s many opportunities, we can reach our full potential as a society.” — Michael Coteau, Minister Responsible for Anti-Racism and Minister of Children and Youth Services QUICK FACTS •

Violence
Perspective: As the madness escalates in this piece of paradise called Jamaica … yet another entertainer has died tragically. Vision posted an article in which the undersigned bemoaned the fact that too many of our talented entertainers seem to live on the edge. They either overdose on various substances, die in motor vehicle accidents or are incarcerated for criminal related activities. This must stop now. Corey Mineral Boss We are not casting any aspersions on Corey’s lifestyle and or character of this well known victim, we are merely examining the undisputed empirical evidence which is public knowledge. We have no evidence that Corey is anybody less than an upright law abiding citizen. We regret his demise as we seem as a society to be gripped in a wave of madness.
Any violent death is one too many. The details are sketchy … one thing that cannot be disputed is Corey very dead like the well known crime stats over the year and a steep increase so far this calendar year (Jan. to Dec.). Some 1500 homicides recorded this year and the year has not yet ended. St. James alone accounts for over 300 such homicides. Ninjaman Vybz Kartel and Ninjaman, well know entertainment figures have found themselves in prison having trespassed on the wrong side of the law. We expect these “public figures to set an example” according to High Court Judge Martin Gayle who sentenced Ninjaman for life and co accused sending them to prison. It is my perspective that this madness as it relates to violence will end soon. We express our condolence to all killed by the gun or otherwise. To Corey’s family we say, gone too soon. Let us focus on his positive impact on society. Hopeton O’Connor-Dennie is Senior International correspondent & Photojournalist for Vision Newspaper.

Convicted On Past …
Desmond Balentine has been sentenced for life and is eligible for parole after serving twenty five years. His co accused his son Janiel and one Clayton have no previous convictions so got lesser terms in prison. Twenty years and fifteen years for parole. They were convicted for murdering one Ricky Trooper. Previous Conviction The Don Gorgon aka Ninjaman registered at birth as Desmond Balentine 51, has two previous convictions … one for a gun possession crime. The Judge exposed this fact in open court and this rap sheet could have influenced his decision to be less lenient. The High Court Judge Gayle remarked to the effect that Ninjaman should, “as a public figure should have set a better exam-
Ninjaman’s lawyer Valrie Neita Robertson said “Ninjaman was convicted on his past … we all have a past when we did certain things … Ninjaman plans to continue to work with the youths in prison. I was touched by this promise by Ninjaman. We have already prepared his appeal.” declared his defense lawyer. Commentary We are saddened at this new development … it is a human tragedy. Dancehall has lost a very colourful artiste. Sting for the past 30 years was headlined bt this great showman in the person of Ninjaman. Dancehall will not be the same without Ninjaman. We hope he will be rehabilitated and leave prison earlier than sentenced. This is a great loss to dancehall.

Chance The Rapper and Colin Kaepernick are among DoSomething.org’s 2017 Celebs Gone Good List This year’s biggest stars used their platforms to rally support for relief in places like Flint, MI., Puerto Rico and Houston and advocate for social change.
NEW YORK, /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — DoSomething.org, one of the largest organizations for young people and social change, announces its tenth annual Celebs Gone Good list. Celebs Gone Good is an annual list that recognizes the year’s top celebrities who use their star power for social change. Among the list is 25-year-old musician Chance the Rapper, who continues to push for improvements in Chicago’s edu-
cation system. This year, he launched the New Chance Arts & Literature Fund to support arts in the public school system. Before that, he co-founded SocialWorks, a charity foundation devoted to empowering the youth that has raised over $2 million for Chicago Public Schools. Additionally, this 3-time Grammy winner was presented the 2017 BET Humanitarian Award by Michelle Obama. Colin Kaepernick, a former 49ers quarterback, started protesting during the national anthem last year. His actions sparked a movement among other NFL players and extended to other sports leagues this season. In 2017 he contin-
ued that fight off the field by pledging to donate $1 million to various charitable organizations, including Meals on Wheels and 100 Suits. These contributions led to him being honored by Sports Illustrated with the SI Muhammad Ali Legacy Award. Pop powerhouse Ariana Grande also made the Celebs Gone Good list. After the tragic bombing in the Manchester Arena, she helped organize the One Love Manchester concert. This raised $13 million for the victims of the bombing. Ariana was also a performer in A Concert for Charlottesville, which benefited the victims of the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville.

Hollywood's Hiring Freeze: Female, Black And Asian Directors Rarely Worked In 2017 Films The results are in: 2017 was no different than the last 11 years for female, Black or Asian directors working on 1,100 top films to address the biases that impede hiring, nothing will change." The majority of female directors (83.7%) worked on only one top-grossing film across the time frame, including all four of the Black female directors. Slightly more than half (55.3%) of male directors only worked once over the 11-year sample. Notably, the 8 female directors added to the list in 2017 are all new to the study—which the authors state is another indicator that little progress has been made.
LOS ANGELES, /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Golden Globe Awards will present yet another man its Best Director award this Sunday, giving the cold shoulder to female directors such as Greta Gerwig, Dee Rees, Patty Jenkins and Kathryn Bigelow. But a new report on films from 2007 to 2017 reveals a larger problem than a lack of award nominations for female directors. Diversity in the director's chair is virtually nonexistent, and gender in the executive ranks of major companies remains grossly imbalanced. The report, entitled "Inclusion in the Director's Chair?" analyzes new data on movies released in 2017. Authored by Professor Stacy L. Smith and the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, the report is the most comprehensive intersectional analysis of directors of motion pictures to date, combining data on the gender, race and age of 1,223 filmmakers working on 1,100 top-grossing films released between 2007 and 2017. The analysis
also focuses on women in executive and leadership ranks at major media companies. The results reveal that for female, Black and Asian directors, the doors to Hollywood remain mostly closed. Only 4% of all directors across the 1,100 top films from 2007 to 2017 were female, a ratio of 22 males to every one female director. Moreover, only four Black females, two Asian females, and one Latina have worked as directors on those 1,100 films over the span of 11 years analyzed. There has been no change over time. "Hollywood's 'female director problem' has been the source of much dialogue over the past several years. The evidence reveals that despite the increased attention, there has been no change for women behind the camera," said Dr. Smith. "Mere conversation is not the answer to these problems—and the time for conversation is up. Until major media companies take concrete steps
"As we said last year, most female directors are 'one and done' when it comes to helming popular films, particularly women from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups," said Dr. Smith. "In 2017 none of the women entering the ranks of 100 top film directors appeared in our study previously. This is not true progress. Real change means that we see women working across multiple years and that the number of opportunities for female directors expand each year." The number of films directed by both males and females over the 11-year time frame was assessed. Male directors worked on as many as 15 films, while females did not exceed 4. One explanation for this disparity is the age at which directors work. Men create films over a span of nearly 60 years, from their 20s to their 80s. Women, however, work across only four decades, from their 30s to their 60s. The study also explores the small percentages of Black and Asian directors working behind the camera. Only 5.2% of the 1,223 directors of 1,100 top films were Black, and 3.2% were Asian. This translates into 31 individual Black directors and 20 Asian directors
of popular movies released from 2007 to 2017. Again, no change over time was observed. The researchers suggest that the lack of opportunities for Black directors is tied to who appears in the films they direct. For Black directors, 81% of the movies they helmed had a Black actor among the two top-billed cast. "Hiring patterns that rest on 'matching' director race to the race of the top cast partially explain why we see little change over time," said Dr. Smith. "The identity of the director must be uncoupled from industry expectations about what kind of stories he or she can tell if any progress is to be made." The report details the number of films by female, Black, and Asian directors released by each of the major film distributors over the 11 years studied. Warner Bros. released the most female-directed films, with 12 movies between 2007 and 2017. Lionsgate topped the list for Black directors, putting out 18 movies—15 of which were helmed by Tyler Perry. Universal released 13 movies with an Asian director between 2007 and 2017, the leader in that category. Importantly, Disney did not release a single movie with a Black director from 2007 to 2017. Women are Underrepresented in the Executive Ranks at Major Media Companies The new report also includes a profile of the executive ranks at seven major entertainment companies. Across all seven corporations, 18.8% of the board members are female, along with 17.9% of the C-suite positions (CEO, CFO, CTO, etc.). Looking more closely at film executives in particular, 31% of those ranks are filled by women. In the
executive ranks, females are more likely to appear in EVP, SVP, and VP positions than at the apex of organizations in President or Chairperson jobs. "It is no surprise that an industry which does not hire female directors also lacks women in leadership roles across the organizations that finance and distribute content," said Dr. Smith. "Inclusion is not a one-time problem to be solved, it is a systemic issue that must be addressed by individuals at all levels of these companies. If these companies are going to meet the push for 50/50 by 2020, this data shows how far they have to go." Alongside executives, agency representation of directors was examined for female, Black and Asian directors. Most directors in the study had representation at one of the three major Hollywood agencies, with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) representing the largest number of female and Black directors. "While the directors in this study have agents, they are still not getting work at the same rate as their white male peers," said Dr. Smith. "All of the agencies must work to determine where the disconnect is between signing director clients from diverse groups and ensuring they are actually hired to the same extent as white males." Other report highlights include an assessment of the genre of films made by women, Black, and Asian directors. The authors also offer solutions for consumers and shareholders to address the ongoing disparities behind the camera. The report is the latest from the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, and can be found online here.
