Number of women working in TV falls: There are fewer women in front and behind the camera.
Women were just 15 percent of writers on prime-time dramas, comedies and reality shows—down from 29 percent in the 2009-10 season.
And what it has to do with gender parity. A few statistics:
Women currently hold:
* 16.6 percent of the 535 seats in Congress
* 23.5 percent of the seats in state legislatures
* There are 6 female governors
* Of the 100 big-city mayors, 8 are women
annaholmes:
My newest column for the Washington Post, out today, looks at the exclusion of women from special ops forces like the Navy SEALs, Delta Force and Army Rangers. I predict that the ban won’t last much longer.
Love this post. I am female and work as a radio and television traffic reporter in Sydney, Australia. Until recently I was the only female doing this job in this state. Now there are two of us. The company I work for has only ever had one female in a management role and that was over ten years ago. Brilliant! I look forward to more statistics on women in media that will piss me off!
Thanks, Sally!

Women in Film by the Numbers
This infographic is based on a study done by the USC Annenberg School for Communications & Journalism. The study "examined the gender of all speaking characters and behind the scenes employees on the 100 top grossing fictional films in 2008. A total of 4,370 speaking characters were evaluated and 1,227 above the line personnel."
NBC May Name Tal Rabinowitz Head of Comedy
UPDATE: It's official! Tal starts in June.
PREVIOUSLY: Deadline Hollywood is reporting that "that NBC's head of comedy Jeff Ingold is expected to leave the network, and hot Sony TV comedy executive Tal Rabinowitz is in line to replace him" as EVP. Rabinowitz oversaw the series "The Big C" for Sony and will be joining a network that may lose some of its hottest comedy properties ("The Office" and "30 Rock") in the coming year. Hopefully the this will influence the hiring of female talent through the ranks. (Via Jezebel)

Female Writers in Late Night by the Numbers
NOTES:
1) The host doubles as a writer on each of these shows but we did not include them in the counts. 2) Although Jimmy Kimmel only has one female writer, she is a co-head writer. None of the other shows hosted by men have female head writers. 3) Craig Ferguson’s only female writer is his sister.
And in the latest depressingly blatant illustration of the Wage Gap:
New Zealand stamp divides royal couple w/ perforated line “The unintentionally awkward 5.80 NZ dollars item can be used as two stamps — except the Kate side is a 2.40 dollars stamp, while the Prince William side is a more expensive 3.40 dollars.” (via today)
STATETTE: Women are 4 times less likely than men to negotiate for a raise.
Here, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg talks about why women don't negotiate for themselves. (via equalitymyth)
theweekmagazine:
That’s the amount of money the gender pay gap ads up to over a 40-year career. In other words, over 40 years, women make nearly three-quarters of a million dollars less than their male counterparts.
Other numbers:
80 Percent of the average man’s salary that his female counterpart makes one year out of college. “The gap between men’s and women’s salaries begins immediately upon entering the workforce,” says Sarah Green in the Harvard Business Review.
15.7 Percent of board seats at Fortune 500 companies held by women in 2010. That’s “an inexplicable statistic given the number of available qualified female candidates,” say Douglas A. McIntyre, Michael B. Sauter, and Ashley C. Allen in The Atlantic.
$0.77 Amount full-time female employees are paid for every dollar their male counterparts make, according to census data
$0.59 Amount full-time female employees were paid in 1970 for every dollar their male counterparts make. “Forty years and 18 cents,” says Marlo Thomas in The Huffington Post. “A dozen eggs has gone up 10 times that amount.”
