For many years I have worked for Hearst, a great diversified media, information and services company. Hearst respects the Academy and supports my work here. I am particularly grateful to Steven R.

I thank them deeply for their unwavering backing and support. The Academy offers a forum where members can seek infor mation and express opinions. Further, by encouraging and rewarding creativity with the Emmy, we seek to provide a counter to those who would discredit television programs and the people who make them. That is what we will continue to do.

2017 GALA CHAIR
Andy Kaplan President, Worldwide Networks, Sony Pictures Television
What does being the 2017 Gala Chair mean to you? It’s a great honor to be the Gala Chair for the 2017 International Emmy Awards, a truly special event that takes pride in celebrating extraordinary creators and visionaries whose work touches fans across the globe in a deep and meaningful way. I want to thank Bruce Paisner, Camille Bidermann, Fred Cohen and my fellow members on the Board of Directors, all of whom share in my passion to elevate the great television work being done around the world. TV is a uniquely global experience, one that brings people together. That’s why honoring this incredible and gifted collective of talented men and women and putting a spotlight on the art and craft of television is more important than ever. This is a showcase for compelling and engaging content that moves us, makes us laugh and reminds us exactly what we all have in common. And there is no better representative that embodies this spirit than our special award recipient this year. I am thrilled to serve as Gala Chair in a year that celebrates Emilio Azcárraga Jean, who will be honored with the Directorate Emmy Award. How important is the international TV market for Sony Pictures Television Networks? This is an important time for all of us at Sony Pictures Television Networks as the global marketplace continues to be the cornerstone of our business success. Sony Pictures Television Networks is incredibly fortunate to operate over 100 channels in 178 countries, and brings the world’s best television content to nearly two billion subscribers. We deliver the best TV series and movies from the U.S., as INTERNATIONAL EMMY® 2017-2018
well as global and local original content that our viewers and partners connect with on our flagship brands: AXN, Sony Channel, Animax, Crackle and more. We are encouraged by both the economics and the demographics of the global marketplace and our outlook for the coming year is very bright. This year, Sony partnered with leading pay-TV providers across Latin America to launch Crackle as a commercial-free SVOD service to complement Sony’s portfolio of linear television networks. We have also made several acquisitions with global impact, including truTV in the U.K., anime distributor Funimation, and Httpool, an international cross channel ad network. Our largest business continues to be in India, where Sony’s TV networks reach an audience of over 700 million, with a fully vertical and horizontal offering for the cable and satellite providers there. Several of the most popular linear channels in the marketplace are in our portfolio, such as Sony Entertainment Television (SET), MAX and SAB, the digital video-on-demand platform LIV, and the just-launched LIV Kids digital video platform. And the growth continues—Sony recently acquired India’s top sports network, TEN Sports, and launched several new channels, including the co-branded Sony ESPN and Sony BBC Earth channels. At the global level, we are also investing in and commissioning original content like the Stana Katic thriller Absentia and Crackle’s actionpacked drama The Oath, as well as successful local productions of popular franchises including Shark Tank, Got Talent, Top Chef and The Amazing Race. We see Sony Pictures Television Networks as being uniquely positioned in an ever changing media landscape and feel incredibly optimistic about what's ahead. What are the biggest challenges and opportunities for Sony Pictures Television Networks in the coming years? This is an incredibly exciting time for our business —a moment of unprecedented change—where brand, content and technology are at an intersection with platforms, customers, partners and revenue streams changing daily. Like others in our industry, we are faced with a new paradigm when it comes to the international landscape, so we must be nimble and be prepared to make big moves when the opportunities present themselves. Our assets, both in the U.S. and abroad, are invaluable to the growth of our portfolio as we continue to innovate in terms of new business models as well our existing products and services. We also need to keep up with viewers’ demand for content and their considerations about not only what they watch but where and when. We are actively exploring digital opportunities around the world as we continue to leverage our existing infrastructure so that wherever we are, we should ultimately have a linear and nonlinear offering in some form or another. In this changing media landscape, brand is also as important as ever. With so many options out there, brand is a key driver with our viewers, affiliate and platform partners, advertisers, and, of course, talent. You will see that many of our channels worldwide now carry the endorsement “a Sony Network,” which brings our channels’ association closer to Sony, one of the strongest brands in the world, and we will continue to evolve this association in the coming months and years. 7

2017 MARCH BOARD & MEMBERS MEETING
“Enough said: what’s gone wrong
View from the New York Times building
March 23, 2017 New York City Mark Thompson: CEO, The New York Times Company THOMPSON: Welcome to The New York Times. It’s great to see the Academy here. In a previous life as a broadcaster, I’ve had much to do with the Academy, and I’ve always admired it. I even have a couple of these in a cupboard somewhere—best not sat on I’ve discovered, but other than that it’s a wonderful adornment. So, as you’ve heard from Bruce, I’ve had two recent parallel professions: I’m a media executive— splendid band of people, I’m one of them—but I’ve also been an author. The story of the last 12 months is the two sides of my life basically hitting each other in a head-on way. I’ll talk a bit about the book and I’ll talk a bit about the Times, but I’ll try and be brisk because I suspect that this is an occasion where Q&A may be more satisfying for everyone. So the book: I began thinking about this project in 2012; I was asked to give some lectures about public language or rhetoric at Oxford University, as a visiting professor in 2012. [I thought] what can I say? It’s not something I know about. I went away and thought about it for a couple weeks, and actually ended up thinking I did have something to say. The thing I had to say was I had seen, over something like three decades in journalism and media, the relationship between politicians on both sides of the Atlantic and the media on both sides of the Atlantic and the public go wrong. I thought the way in which politicians spoke, and the way in which the media transmitted what they spoke, and what the public heard, had changed. In a way, the lectures and the book were kind of an exploration of an attempt to understand why that had happened. Firstly, I thought that politics itself had changed. Particularly after the Cold War had ended—the fall of the Berlin Wall—a lot of the traditional ideological structures and class-based structures of politics had fallen away. That created the opportunity for new parties and new priorities–environmental parties, some more extremist parties, single-issue parties—to gather. But mainstream politicians were finding it much harder to differentiate and demonstrate the differences to 38
each other. So I thought politics was becoming a more broken landscape, and as a result, politicians were trying to be more personal in their attacks on each other and they were striving harder to express how different they were from each other. Secondly, I thought that I could feel the language of the technocrats—the economists, the planners, sometimes the scientists, the medical people, and all of the ministers who deal with these things—drifting away from ordinary language, and a gap opening between the public at large and the kind of elite who ran the country. So two different language worlds, and the two halves not really understanding each other at all well. Thirdly, I’d seen over 30 years media be progressively disrupted by the arrival of multichannel, by cable, by satellite, in the context of television, and then obviously by digital and social media. Thinking time for media had gone from the rather pleasant business of putting the paper to bed or finishing the bulletin and going to the pub or the equivalent, and not having to start until the following morning, to this kind of crazy, 24/7 experience where you’re frantically trying to keep up. There was one moment in the Tiananmen Square crisis—I was running the BBC’s coverage in Beijing— where we fed, in one 24-hour period, 23 or 24 separate packages. I thought: “This is what the future’s going to be like.” So less thinking time, more frantic and with colossal pressure on media as well; the business model’s weakening. And by the way, this 24/7 news cycle puts immense pressure on the politicians. So political change, the language of the technocrats, the language of the public, this business of media and digital disruption in media and politics, and then, lastly, something which, again, I think everyone here would be aware of, is what you could call the developing science of persuasion. Two things from the book: firstly, the actual inspiration for the book and for the lectures was looking at something which is very, very current today: healthcare reform. What had happened and what was interesting to me was that in 2009, this country had gone through an immense debate about healthcare, which ended up with the Affordable Care Act, which many Americans are now discovering for the first time is the same as Obama Care! So you can’t abolish ObamaCare and keep the Affordable Care Act, which is what many Americans apparently want to do, because they’re the same thing. So in 2009, you have an enormous debate; you have a president and an administration of the left trying to drive healthcare through, and you have critics, essentially from the right—the Republicans and other business groups, in particular, who don’t want it to happen. A year later, in the U.K., healthcare reform again on the agenda, this time it’s a conservative-led government, a right-wing government, trying to drive the reforms through, and the critics are from the left, and yet I thought the tactics of the critics were incredibly similar in both countries. I thought what was interesting about that is many people often like to blame the other party: “It’s those damn Republicans or damn Democrats,” but I thought what was so interesting about this is I was seeing such similar things in two different political cultures and with the political polarity reversed. There was one thing in particular which caught my eye—Sarah Palin and her coinage of the phrase “death panels.” She intervenes in the debate about ObamaCare with a short paragraph, which is a tweet and Facebook posting—this is now eight years ago—and these two words: “death panels,” which were a way of, not just describing, but, frankly, distorting an idea of voluntary end-of-life counseling as part of ObamaCare: allowing people to claim if they INTERNATIONAL EMMY® 2017-2018

with the language of politics?” want to get counseled on whether or not they should, in the last stages of life, be resuscitated and so on. She turns this into this brilliant, clever, Orwellian phrase: “death panels,” which over the summer of 2009 made a big difference in the politics. The idea that two words, just appearing on Twitter, could feed into this cycle of conservative talk radio, other conservative websites, and feed directly into mainstream politics, and change politics. That’s what started me off. She was doing then what Donald Trump, in a sense, has actually won the presidency with. One of the things politicians like to say, particularly populist politicians, is they’re not in the business of rhetoric. “The time for empty talk is over, now arrives the hour of action,” is Donald Trump on Inauguration Day. Silvio Berlusconi, I quote in the book saying: “If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s rhetoric. All I care about is what needs to get done.” I’ll give you one more; a third politician, Marc Antony, in the “Friends, Romans, and Countrymen” speech in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar says, “I am no orator, as Brutus is, but as you know me all a plain, blunt man.” This is all rhetoric, but it’s a rather clever kind of rhetoric. So one of the things I do in the book, and I’m updating it for the paper right now, is look at the rhetoric of the anti-rhetorician, and it’s got very distinctive characteristics. I’ll give you a good example: Julius Caesar has a problem: the Roman politics means he’s got to leave Rome, go off and gallivant around Gaul, but he wants to keep the brand alive back home, so he sends letters to the Senate and dispatches. The last thing you want to do is a kind of fancy, flowery language. You keep it super, super short, super
simple: “Veni Vidi Vici” “I came. I saw. I conquered.” Donald Trump’s language is exactly the same: it’s like the language of the general, the strong man. I’m going to slam my fist on the table, I’ll get stuff done. It’s got to be short; it’s got to be simple. It can’t be nuanced; it’s got to be boom, boom, boom. “Folks, we’ve got to build a wall. Got to do it. Got to build a wall. Walls work.” The students of rhetoric call it parataxis. It can be quite sophisticated; you’ve got to layer it up with lots of little sentences. You can get to an emotional climax, but it’s not very good at argument. You can’t really do a sophisticated argument in this style. I think one of the reasons that Trump doesn’t like being confronted with argument is because he hasn’t really got a rhetorical style for responding. What he’s trying to do is almost say: “You don’t need arguments. Life is so simple that you can just spell out what you want, do it, and you’re finished.” I think what’s so interesting, again going back to healthcare reform, is that’s not true of modern policy. In modern states, policy, unfortunately, is necessarily complex. If we were still trying to simply ensure the fundamentals of life, maybe you could have very simple rhetoric, but I think his wonderful, rueful phrase, “Nobody knew how complicated healthcare is,” tells you everything, really. He didn’t know and it’s come as an unpleasant surprise. So that’s what my book’s about, it’s trying to set what is happening today in a quite deep context of culture and history. It says: some of these things have happened before, but it also says: this stuff is dangerous. A moment in history where people can’t even agree on what reality is sets you up for division, and

Academy Member Jim Rosenfield with guest Bob Mauro potentially, ultimately for conflict: conflict within countries and conflict between countries. It’s a global phenomenon. In the U.K., I would say the gruesome Brexit referendum debate last year was a good example of that, and manifestly in many European countries we’re seeing similar effects. Though, I think it’s important to say: history’s not written in advance. Something is happening across the West, which, to me at least, is partly to do with a breakdown in the way we talk to each other; our unwillingness, including the unwillingness of elites, and of liberal elites, in particular, to actually listen to and empathize with people. So let me briefly talk about the New York Times, as well, since you’re all here. We’re now right in the middle of the kind of situation I was imagining some years ago when I was writing my book. We are trying to do our jobs, and our job is trying to understand and help our readers, here and around the world, make sense of the world. We’re not an opposition party. Our job is to try and hold everyone to account. We have a very, very assiduous and loyal reader in the White House. When he came and had lunch with us, he began the day by describing us as “the failing NY Times,” but as we finished, the rest of the world’s media had gathered downstairs and he told them that The New York Times was a jewel for America and for the world. One of Donald Trump’s great gifts is that he can say apparently contradictory things very, very close to each other, and hold both thoughts at the same time. He continues, by the way, to give significant access to the Times, to answer questions, and makes sure members of his administration answers questions to the Times, but manifested through a period where it would appear that the U.S. administration is angry about and hostile to the efforts of The New York Times and others to report what’s happening in the world. I asked Mr. Trump, when he came here, given what he said about tightening libel laws in this country
“
T
and the rest of it, whether he was committed to upholding the First Amendment; in other words, freedom of the press and freedom of expression, and he said “I think you’ll be okay.” One of the things I love about living and working in America is the very strong defense of freedom of expression. Obviously, that’s what enables the Times to do what it does. We will be, and I hope all of you will be, vigilant on that topic. From a commercial point of view, if I can just finish with that, the Times is in the middle of a transition. We’ve been talking a lot about cable TV as an earlier stage in disruption for newspapers. We’re in the middle of a transition from a historic, steady state of a very high margin of print business to a new future, where by far the most important platform for us will be smartphones, not even tablet or desktop, but physical smartphones. We are growing subscribers at a faster rate and to a larger number, today, than at any point in the Times’ history. The highest number we can find for the historic New York Times was when it had 1.8 million subscribers, probably in the early ’90s. We are well over 3 million now. Our digital subscription model is growing faster, now, than at any point since it was launched in 2011. We remain a highly profitable, highly cash-generative company. I worry, however, that we’re in a tiny minority in America and in the world of legacy newspaper companies who will survive and thrive. Warren Buffett talked recently about the Times and the The Wall Street Journal being the only two newspapers where he could see a future. The same will be true in other countries as well. I want to say that although you might say that that still leaves broadcast and cable news, disruption is coming to those markets as well. Already margins are not what they were and disruption is coming there, so the question of whether there’s going to be a market failure in highquality news, which people need, and whether the field is going to be left to extremist groups and to news sources who are paid for by other
hinking time for media has gone from a rather pleasant experience of putting the paper to bed to this kind of crazy, 24/7 experience where you’re frantically trying to keep up.” — Mark Thompson

sovereign interests, other sovereign governments, is a real issue. So, although I feel extremely optimistic about our own track, the news studio is facing greater existential questions, now, than at any point in my lifetime. QUESTION: I don’t know if there has ever been a leader for whom the truth is, essentially, irrelevant. If you have a job like that, your whole approach to language is: I’m just going to say whatever I say, and it isn’t going to matter if it’s true or not. Does that start to influence the country? THOMPSON: The short answer is: I don’t know. If you step back and look at the globe, there are many countries in the world where the governments not only do not tell the truth, but, essentially, present their citizens with a complete alternative reality. Including, by the way, some of the most populist and powerful countries on the planet: China would be an example; Russia would be another example. There is extensive and systematic presentation of things which are not actually true: support of the Chinese government and constitution for freedom of the press, the democratic openness and freedom enjoyed by the citizens of Russia. So the idea that governments might want to present a view of the world which they would like to be true, or would wish their citizens to believe was true, as opposed to the kind of obstinate reality of what is actually true, not only is it not unknown, it’s the norm in many continents and has got its own deep history. [When there is a] free press who holds politicians to account, the politicians end up thinking the incentives are in favor of telling the truth, rather than not telling the truth, because they’ll get found out and it’ll be damaging if they’re found out. That’s the fragile thing. Is it under risk? I think it is. In a battle between truth and lies, it’s an unequal battle in this way: the liar doesn’t need everyone to believe what they say; they only have to get people to start doubting which is which and to get confused, or to think that there are two different things where I’m not sure, perhaps they should be given equal time, and you know, who knows? So even if it’s just about sowing confusion, the debate between truth and lies favors the liar. It’s hard not to conclude that what we’re seeing at the moment is a concerted attempt to confuse people about what’s true and what’s not. QUESTION: You think it’s a conscious attempt? Or it’s just the way this government works? THOMPSON: You’d have to ask people other than me about what their intentions are, but it’s hard not to believe that [it’s an attempt at]
deliberate confusion. If we see Russian involvement in Western elections as being part of state policy, it feels like psychological operations. The idea of using false statements to confuse an enemy population and to undermine confidence in a population in their own government and in their own politicians, that’s an ancient tactic of trying to seed doubt. It’s hard to believe that isn’t what’s behind some of the foreign intervention, quite apart from what’s going on with domestic extremist groups. So I don’t know where it ends, but I believe that ultimately, human beings are blessed with practical wisdom and an ability to discriminate between what’s true and false, and ultimately, the truth wins. But we know that although that may be true in principle and in the end, you can have years when a population is led to believe something which isn’t true. So one of the points in my book is: we better do a good job in teaching our children how to discriminate and how to grow the critical faculties needed to decide who to believe and who not to believe, because without that, I think in this very noisy digital world, people are going to get lost. QUESTION: I love The Times but it’s so anti-Trump, and you use the word “liar” all the time, which I don’t remember ever seeing about any other politician. I’m wondering if you’re concerned you’re going a too far? THOMPSON: Fact checking and alerting readers to discrepancies between what politicians claim and what the facts of the matter seem to be is not a new activity. It’s been going some decades, but it’s been growing anyway, I think it’s part of the trends, becoming more and more prominent, even before Donald Trump arrived at the scene. I think this is a straightforward debate here. The view that our newsroom has taken, and I think it is a departure, happened, in a sense, in the latter parts of the primary campaign last year. Some of the things that candidate Trump was saying were so immediately and flagrantly in opposition to known fact, and in some cases he must have been aware of it, [we felt] that that should be called out. Now, we’ve used the word “liar” a couple of times, maybe three times, so it’s relatively rare even now. However, what we will see more routinely is when the president tweets something and we feel we have to cover it, you might often see a headline which goes: “President Trump Claims Without Evidence That,” and we feel in the end that it’s appropriate to warn people in the headline, even before they read the tweet, that we cannot find and Mr. Trump has not induced any evidence for what he’s saying. I, personally, am very comfortable with the language of “without evidence.” I mean the key thing about his claim that Barack Obama tapped his phone—I can’t tell you whether that’s true or Bruce Paisner introduces and thanks Mark Thompson

not, we’re going to find out whether it’s true or not—to make a claim like that without evidence, it needs to be pointed out to people that no pieces of corroboration have been offered at the time he makes a statement. QUESTION: You mentioned Warren Buffett’s quote about The New York Times. I have a friend in Kansas City who owned a chain of suburban local papers, which he just sold to Warren Buffett, who’s actually going around the country buying up local papers. I’m curious, from your perspective, what the future is for local news. THOMPSON: The most acute pressures are at the moment playing out on, in the U.S. newspaper industry, at the metro level, and all the big-city metro newspapers are having great difficulty. Local newspapers, as a group, remain highly profitable and highly cash-generative, and in particular, if you think you can consolidate, reduce costs, and run large chains of local newspapers efficiently, there’s many years of positive cash flow to come out of them. I still don’t believe they have a long-term future, and certainly from his remarks it doesn’t sound like he does either, but the fact that something doesn’t have a long-term future doesn’t mean there can’t be a transaction, which makes a lot of financial sense, over the next 10 years and 20 years. By the way, when we talk about this, none of this is going to happen quickly. I’m pretty confident we’re going to be publishing The New York Times seven days a week, ten years from now, maybe more than that, so these are quite long-term trends. But if you look at the different trends, it’s pretty clear which way the story’s going to end, at least to me. I mean it’s possible that consumer demand for the print product will be so great, and people’s willingness to pay for the print product will
44
be so great, that you can price it and get people to pay it. My view is we have to be careful about believing that. A seven-day-a-week New York Times delivery outside New York is $1,000 a year. This is not a cheap proposition. There becomes a point where I think the economics become difficult, and to be clear, the things that are playing out in my view in newspapers will play out both in ad-funded broadcast TV and in cable TV. I’m not saying the end will be the same. In a way, the IP generation, the character of the IP that’s creating television, a lot of it’s more evergreen. HBO’s an example, A&E’s another example of a really great, strong brand, and businesses being built, even though the players have not ultimately controlled the platform. It’s been very hard for newspapers, the price empowering digital, without controlling the platform, certainly on the advertising side. So I think there are some differences, but I think the disruption we’re seeing in media is going to continue and is going to plow on, and is beginning to plow on into TV, as well, and around the world. QUESTION: You mentioned big data and how you can analyze what words are popular. THOMPSON: We all use machinery to optimize language. The New York Times does it. It’s something we’re all doing. There’s a debate in one of Plato’s dialogues between Socrates and Gorgias. Gorgias is a teacher of rhetoric; he’s a sophist. Socrates is a philosopher. Socrates basically says: “You say rhetoric is an art. I don’t think it’s an art. I think it’s a knack. I think you’re like a cook: you find out what people like to eat and then you give them what they like. That’s not proper argument; that’s not proper debate. You’re just giving people what they want.” You could say

Mark Thompson addresses the International Academy Members and their guests that in some ways Gorgias is kind of winning the argument—we’re now in the world of Gorgias. The Greek word he uses for “knack” is “emporia”; we get the word “empirical” from that; it’s learned from experience. So the empirical data we get and we use is exactly Gorgias’s way of attack. I want to say though, finding out what people like and helping to try and understand them, listen to them, and meet their needs, their emotional needs, isn’t quite as bad as Plato and Socrates were suggesting. It’s like a properly balanced approach to people: listens to them, is empathetic, tries to respond to them, but also has some intellectual integrity to it, and I think in a way what’s happened is it’s like a balance has been lost in language. I’m not someone who thinks we should have a purely logical, purely rational, political language. The attempt to do that is part of the problem. The ultra-complicated, technocratic language just puts people off. I worry about some other things technocrats do. I’ve got lots of friends in science who think it’s wrong to ever put a climate denier on the air, because it’s going to mislead people. This is based on the idea that if you shut somebody up, you win the argument. Whereas, if you’re seen to censor someone, I think the public at large would begin to get suspicious of you. The attempts to suppress the climate change debate and the vaccine safety debate, and political correctness as a whole, if that means suppressing racism and other unacceptable forms of language, has probably done more harm than good. Have the debate. Make your argument. Go on making your argument. I wish scientists would think that having a climate denier is the perfect opportunity to have a good argument, and explain to them why they’re wrong. But again I think the technocrats have gotten into this habit of wanting to shut down arguments. I want to get back to a balance where our empirical knowledge of what people want is part of the story, but we stop being instrumental, we stop using that as the be-all and end-all. We try and add some intellectual honesty and clarity to the process as well.

Post? Being from New York, when I’m reading the paper abroad, I read an Upper West Side attitude with first-world problems as the narrative. I’m not saying this a political elite thing. I’m saying, how do you market it worldwide, when you’re in competition with everyone. It’s the English language. How do you do that? As you’re not from here either. THOMPSON: Well, I think one of the reasons I am here is because Arthur Sulzberger and the board thought that having someone from a different culture, and in particular someone who came from a company, the BBC, which has probably done the global thing as well as any Western organization, might help the organization think through this puzzle. So it is a puzzle, because what’s interesting is I don’t think the New York Times wants to lose its character. I think its character is part of its appeal. The global fascination, not just with America, but with this storied, unique city, what it stands for, and its perspective as a city on its own life and also on the rest of the world, is part of the appeal. At the same time, if you don’t start reaching out and trying to demonstrate your ability to understand, and empathize with, and cover other cultures and other perspectives, you won’t succeed in your global ambition. We’re wrestling with that, and step-by-step we are getting better at it. We’ve still got a tendency to send push-alerts out to people in Italy about the death of some incredibly important baseball player that no one in that country has ever heard of. We also need to recognize that in markets other than the United States, we’re [going for] people with a college degree with a pretty good facility for English—we’re beginning to offer other languages—and someone who’s clearly interested in news, and has got an internationalist perspective. And we’re going to be—and are—outside the U.S. a second, third and fourth read after somebody’s read some local media. I don’t think many people are going to cancel their subscription to The Times of London and subscribe to us, I think we’ll be alongside them. The kind of people we want look at multiple sources of news. We don’t really want to cover London the way The Times of London does. We want to offer something which is insightful and valuable, but
anifestly, something is happening across the West, which, to me at least, is partly to do with a breakdown in the way we talk to each other.” — Mark Thompson

there’s such intense debate going on in the country about almost everything. There’s a real chance that this is going to be a period where young people in particular are going to get very engaged in politics. If you think of supply and demand, on the supply side, you just have to accept that we’re in a period in history where debate, including sometimes very vituperative, and angry, and divisive debate, is part of the background. I’m much more concerned on the demand side, that we develop a generation of user, reader, listener citizens [with] critical faculties. We can’t protect people from the noisy marketplace. They’re going to grow up in it; they’re going to live in it, particularly in the West. Other parts of the globe are growing faster than we are.

The show takes children’s drawings and ideas from all over the world and turns them into funny animated episodes. Each week, the Doodles audience interacts with the show’s creators and cast online, and together they create each episode’s all-new animated adventure. Kids and their parents snap, tag and share their doodles on the shows and the broadcaster’s website and social sites. Audiences comment on and vote for their favourite doodles helping to choose a doodle to bring to life as the lead character in its own animated adventure. That episode then premieres on ABC3, the website doodles.com.au and all other platforms. Conceiving Doodles as digital from the outset embraces the possibilities of interactive storytelling and provides an opportunity to create a show that “goes where the audience is.” Doodles gives them that involvement by allowing children and their parents to participate in the making of each episode, helping them to create their very own television series. 66

In Conversation with Greg
Greg Berlanti in conversation with Peter Roth
September 15, 2017 Los Angeles Peter Roth: President & Chief Content Officer, Warner Bros. Television Group Greg Berlanti: Showrunner & Executive Producer ROTH: Greg has ten scripted series on each of four different networks. Six shows on CW, one show on ABC, one show on NBC, one show on our newest platform, which is the DC OTT, and another show on Lifetime. Greg, how on earth do you do that? [Laughter] BERLANTI: I think it’s a couple of things. I’m often asked that by studio and network executives, and they’re all managing multiple different shows as well. It’s more common in this landscape today as there are more outlets and opportunities for people to do more. It used to be that one staff writing job and you’d stay on that show for however many years and not go outside of that studio or that network. Now, so many times, we hire writers and everyone is just multitasking. We’re probably just an example of that. I didn’t plan for it that way. It evolved naturally, so I think it’s a big part of how we do it because much of it has come out of preexisting relationships both in terms of the kinds of shows we make and the people that we make the shows with. It’s just expanded in a very naturalistic way. It wasn’t the goal to have a certain number. It was much more of just continually working with different groups of people that you just really like working with. It snuck up on us, I think, really, in the last two, three years. I don’t feel like 100
I’m working any harder than I was working when I was doing two shows. I think if you’re a worrier, you stress about the shows and things you’re working on. If you had one thing you would just spend all that worry on that. If you have multiple things, I guess you worry about multiple things. The biggest change for me is that I don’t get to be as often where things are going well and smoothly. There’s always that next problem that you have to go deal with. The other thing I always say is, were it not for the actual creativity around the shows, creating scenes, writing scripts, breaking stories, editing, all of those elements of making the television show are not time-consuming to me in my mind. The real time-consuming thing [is] managing the personalities that are involved in making that show. Because I think we’ve got so many [shows, we’ve developed] a short hand in terms of managing individuals and dealing with issues. ROTH: Our CEO, Kevin Tsujihara, when he asks me, “What’s the most important part of your job?” I talk about talent management. It is the one ingredient that distinguishes us from all other industries. The creative talent with whom we work are the reason why we are successful. So making sure that we are able to platform you to succeed is arguably our most important assignment. One of the reasons why [Greg is] able to manage this portfolio as he does so brilliantly is because he loves what he does. Let’s go back to Greg Berlanti, the young man born in Rye, New York. Talk a little bit about your schooling. BERLANTI: I grew up in the East Coast outside of Manhattan and thereabouts, Westchester, Rye and Brooklyn County. I always wanted to be Jim Henson and would create puppets. I loved storytelling. Then INTERNATIONAL EMMY® 2017-2018

Berlanti and Peter Roth I found my way into acting and realized I wasn’t a very good actor. Cable was springing up. In high school, I took over the local community TV channel. We would program stuff with local individuals, but I don’t think I foresaw myself getting involved in television or movies. I probably thought theater. Then I went to college, Northwestern University. I studied theater there and playwriting classes, and that was really where I segued more from being onstage to offstage and directed, wrote and produced plays. I graduated and didn’t really know what I was going to do next. I worked for a theater company in Chicago on some national tours and shows. I had written a play that was an adaptation of Act One by Moss Hart of Kaufman and Hart. I adapted his biography, but I did it without getting the rights for the book. His son lived in Los Angeles, and there was a theater company in Los Angeles that wanted to mount the show, so I came out here to get the rights from the son and do the show. He still didn’t give me the rights. [Laughter] But I stayed in Los Angeles. I got a bunch of odd jobs and a temping job at CBS. I worked at all the different departments around CBS. At night, I would write scripts. I started just going to the Writer’s Guild. They have a stack of old scripts you could get. I thought to myself, okay, this is my film school. I put myself through my own made-up film school. I started reading a lot of TV scripts and film scripts and realized how much television writing at that time was like playwriting. It’s dialogue-driven rather than driven by, necessarily, a scene. It was driven by characters and dialogue, and I heard that the writers were in charge, so I liked that. I started writing scripts and handing them to friends. The tenth script that I wrote out here in about three years was the first one that all my friends said, “This is actually really good.” It got passed around, and it led to Julie Plec, who writes and creates a lot of television. She and I had gone to Northwestern together. Actually, she’d been stage manager in a show that I was acting in, and I was writing my first play at that time, and she said, “You’re not a very good actor.” [Laughter] “But you obviously like this.” I was like, “Yes. I’m writing this play. Will you read it?” She read it. She gave me my first set of notes, I think, that I ever got from anybody. She read the script, this TV script that I’d written and this feature script that I’d written. She gave them to Kevin Williamson. He had written a lot of movies that had really exploded. He said, “Do you have any ideas for TV shows or movies?” I said, “Yes, I have this one
“
I
idea for a movie.” I pitched it to him. He said, “Okay, well, I’m going to set up some pitches, and we’ll sell that.” The next day, because of who he was and his status at that time, we were in every president’s office of every studio. We would get in there and Kevin would say, “Okay, go pitch.” I had never pitched. I didn’t really understand what pitching was. I just started telling the story repeatedly. It was the first thing I sold, but it was this idea, not a script. All these scripts that I had written prior to that, nothing had happened with. Then this idea that I had, I had to sit down and write this thing, and I felt like I had gotten an A on a paper before I’d even written the paper. It was all this pressure, and I was in the middle of writing that script, and he stuck in a VCR tape one day, and he said, “Here’s the show that I’ve done. We’ve shot the first 12 episodes. It’s called Dawson’s Creek. Would you watch it?” He put it in, and I watched it. I didn’t really connect with it at that time. I was never into teenage shows, ironically. I thought, oh, yes, it’s nice. He’s like, “I really want you to come work on it.” I called my parents and they said, “You’re doing whatever he asks you to do.” So I said, “Okay, I’ll come work on the show.” But really, I thought, I just had a break writing movies, and I want to write movies. I went to work. I started just showing up for work every day at his office. I started writing Dawson’s Creek in the second season. It was a tumultuous year for the show, and Kevin ended up leaving at the end of that season. I had a contract to stay. By the middle of the third season, they asked me to start running the show. That was how I ended up running that TV show—by virtue of the fact that everyone around me just kept getting fired. [Laughter] I just stayed at my office and just kept

Fall Board & Members Meeting in session generating scripts. I did that because it was the job that was right in front of me, I learned a lot about showrunning from that job. I came to the end of that and they said, “What do you want to create?” I said, “I had this feature idea that I’m starting to write. I think it’s more of a TV show.” I pitched that idea to the studio at that time, and they said, “It’s a family show. It’s soft. Nobody’s really buying those. You shouldn’t write that.” I sold another thing while I simultaneously wrote this on the side. Then it came time—the summary, you sell things in the fall. Beginning of the fall, I had my script done, and they called me—I was at Sony at that time—and said, “Well, we’re actually not going to make TV pilots this year.” I said, “Well, I have the script.”
“
ROTH: How did that work out?
P
assion—a need to tell a story, a burning desire. This is a metric that many people on Wall Street don’t understand. ” —Peter Roth
BERLANTI: [Laughter] Nice. They sent the script around, and I got a call from Peter Roth. I was 29, 30 years old. Peter said, “I’ve read your script. I have to have dinner with you tonight.” Everwood was a family drama. The gist of it was a husband’s wife dies. He was a workaholic, and he made a promise to her: “If anything ever happens to me, promise me, you’ll stop everything you’re doing, you’ll take our kids to this little town and just be a dad.” September 11 happens two days after I finished the draft. Suddenly the script about a family rediscovering themselves after suffering this tragedy had a lot of emotional significance for people and most of all, Peter Roth. Of the many things I’m grateful for was that that script really introduced me [to Peter]. ROTH: Let me give you some background, if I could. First of all, just by way of introduction, Julie Plec, a former feature executive, is now an executive producer. She executive-produces Vampire Diaries and The Originals, she’s an outstanding, outstanding executive producer. We’re 102
grateful for the opportunity to work with her. Kevin Williamson, for those of you who don’t know, created the Scream movies as well as Dawson’s Creek and a number of various successful television shows. Some of what you’ve said has really struck me. That the executives at the studio where you’re there at that time said, “Well, we’re not really doing soft family dramas. That’s not really for us.” I think it’s a great place to stop and just say, “That’s absurd.” To suggest that any one form of television, or any one genre, or any one idea doesn’t have validity for the audience is so disdainful and disrespectful. That’s not the way great content works. Great content works when you execute and write a brilliant script. That brings us to Everwood. I want to tell you about my experience with Everwood. It was a Saturday. It was October of 2001, well after 9/11. I was sitting in my backyard reading the script. It was one of the many scripts that I was introduced to that weekend. I remember starting to read it, and I started to weep. I was literally weeping, and I’m not one to do that easily. As I read it, I thought to myself, this is the greatest metaphor for what has happened to our country that I have ever read. It was such a binding healing idea that it took a tragedy in one person’s life to get him to realize that he had to stop what he was doing, stop his workaholism, take his family to a place in which he could reconnect with them after having been so distant from them. I thought, my God, it took a tragedy of enormous weight to pull our country together back in 2001, and I thought this is exactly what people need. Everwood will always go down for us, I think, as one of the most special shows we’ve ever been a part of. As a matter of fact, I will suggest to you that there’s a very good possibility of maybe seeing it come back in some form. INTERNATIONAL EMMY® 2017-2018

Academy Member John Morayniss and Academy President & CEO Bruce Paisner I wanted to share with you that story because it breaks the rules, daring to be different, going against the grain, asking yourself what’s not on the air, what’s the next updated variation on familiar things. These are questions. There are no answers, only questions that we can ask ourselves. If you love television the way we do and when you read something that moves you as deeply as this does, you know you’re in good shape. I think it’s a good lesson for all of us. Let’s talk a little bit about your process. Is there a particular inspiration that you look towards? BERLANTI: I think probably because of my own experiences, it’s really an individual’s passion to tell that story. When I haven’t been personally the writer, creator or co-creator of the show, we try and connect, find those individuals that have that story inside them. Then you can give them all the experience that you have and guidance along the way about what’s the best way to cast this, or where’s the best place to produce this, or how do you do this at the appropriate numbers so that you can really be set up for success.
was one of the things that really got me through my adolescent years. I didn’t want to feel like I was shut out of this whole world. I also really believed that there is an opportunity in television to do these stories as well as they are beginning to be done in film with just as much spectacle as the movies and the narrative form is actually closer to comic books. But I was gun-shy about swimming those waters and you said to me, “We’re going to let you do this kind of show. I’m going to let you do it in the way that you see it in your head, and I’m going to support you every step of the way.” From that, we built, really, a whole universe of these shows on television, which has been an incredibly rewarding experience. It came on the heels of the year where I thought no one’s ever going to return my calls, and I’m not going to get to even tell stories in general in television. I hadn’t experienced failure to that degree. Then I learned that that’s actually such a part of success in this business and if you’re lucky, you actually have those years. They make you grateful for relationships but they also embolden you a little bit to take other chances because you think, well, if people are still talking to me now, what really can I do? If people respond to that story and that pitch, they don’t care if you had a show that failed last year because they’re really into this idea this moment. TV is a business of a lot of failures, and I had to learn that that was okay and that I could survive that. ROTH: You touched on this but I think equally important to your success is the most seminal failure of your career and what you learned. How did you take that loss returning to the game? BERLANTI: I learned I would always rather be in control and learn from my own mistakes rather than lose, cede control and learn from somebody else’s mistakes. I would rather fail on my own terms.
ROTH: Passion—a need to tell a story, a burning desire. This is a metric that many people on Wall Street don’t understand. You’ve got to tell your story to the world and hopefully, have it resonate for them as much as it does for you. Greg’s passion and his love of doing what he does distinguishes him from everyone else within my work. What do you think in your career has been the most important success? BERLANTI: It’s easy to say the initial things I worked on, but I would actually probably say Arrow. I actually went away from Warner Bros. for a few years and had a year where I had a couple of movies I worked on, bombs, and a few shows I had I was working on were all cancelled. Peter rescued me back from an environment that wasn’t great for me. I wrote something that was really personal to me at that time, Political Animals. I participated in a film for DC that I didn’t have a lot of authority on, but it didn’t do very well. I had loved comic books. I would say it 104

ROTH: What are the ingredients that enable you, in a world that’s this crowded, to put on a show that really resonates? BERLANTI: I just think quality, quality and quality. What’s the most interesting story, the most well-told? How can you work with the best people? It doesn’t mean they have to have a lengthy resume. It just means that they’re an artist that really is committed to doing that thing. Great storytelling combined with great cast. Those things stand out. ROTH: What enables you to have that instinct to know, feel, to understand that that actor will bring that character to life? BERLANTI: My problem is you’re supposed to always bring the studio or the network two or three options for everybody. I can’t be fraudulent like that to that degree where I could look anyone in the eyes and say, “I think it’s either one of these two other people.” When I hear that person’s voice who I think is supposed to be that part, it’s really hard for me to see anybody else doing it. I become a dog with a bone at that point about convincing people this person has to have that part. ROTH: From Stephen Amell to Grant Gustin to Melissa Benoist, to so many actors who owe their careers to you, that judgement and singularity of taste have been critical. When casting is right, it’s almost always unanimous. We all see it. But you’re bringing those to the forefront, and it’s been vitally important to our success. I’m often asked, when you develop a series for Warner Bros., do you take into account the international marketplace? Do you? BERLANTI: I don’t mean to seem boring about it, but I would say no. Everybody likes good stories. One thing that’s always interesting to me is when we test the pilots. People say, “You don’t learn anything from that.” I learn from it all the time. I learn how similar we all are because

Executive Committee Members Kevin Beggs & Larry Gershman we can test something in California, and we could test it across the country and you’ll have a very similar test. ROTH: I was hoping you were going to say that because at Warner Bros., we rarely look at research to determine what we want to produce. We rarely look at demographics. We go on the basis of our experiences as fans and super fans, if you will, people who love television and want to experience the best and most worthwhile television. For every trope that I’ve heard throughout my career, “This will not sell far.” It’s ridiculous. There are no absolute proofs. Okay, let’s end with the question: there’s an explosion of the world of television—where do you think we’re going? BERLANTI: Where do you think? I’ll be much more interested in where you think we’re going. ROTH: Well, I’m going to answer that question in the same spirit of the way in which I think you’ve already beautifully articulated, which is that it almost doesn’t matter. That’s a very strange thing for me to say. Things are changing incredibly rapidly. Distribution systems are changing. The modernization of our product is changing rapidly. There are so many platforms that are changing so ponderously. But it comes right down the thing that you and I both love most, which is the viewer. We are viewers, and viewers want more control. They want greater choice, and they want greater content, better content. I think that the most important answer is, “Don’t worry about that which you can’t control.” Just make great shows, shows that resonate with people around the world. Ideas, experiences, characters that you wish you could see or have a relationship with, places that you can never go to, never before in your life. These are the criteria that we use, I believe, most especially. As the world changes, the more that it changes, the more that what we do stays the same. It’s the only absolute truth I’ve known in 43 years of working in television. INTERNATIONAL EMMY® 2017-2018
