Numbers of Women in TV Falls

Recently both the LA Times and the Globe and Mail published good articles on the latest numbers of women working in US Television.  Sadly, the news is not good and continues the downward trend we’ve been seeing now for several years.  We can’t legally republish the full articles, but snippets and links back to the original source are below.  Kudos to both journalists for picking up this important issue.
