Report: Diversity in Writers Rooms Remains Elusive Variety

Increased diversity in Hollywood writers’ rooms remains elusive, according to a new report from the WGA West, Variety reports.

The 2009 Hollywood Writers Report, written by UCLA professor Darnell Hunt, finds that employment and earnings for women and minority writers has shown "little if any" improvement.

Female writers make up 28 percent of the television ranks and 18 percent in features, while just 6 percent of writers are minorities, the same as it has been since 1999.
