Great to see another approach to increasing diversity in the screen industry, this time in New York. It's the first initiative of its kind, in fact, and focuses on TV shows so the results can be seen more quickly.
"TV shows made in New York might soon be hiring more women and people of color.
"Just before adjourning for the summer, the New York state legislature passed a bill in late June that carves out $5 million of the state's $420 million film tax credit program for diversity hires in writer and director roles."
