3) WWE Trying To Hire More Female Writers
Stephanie McMahon was recently interviewed by Digital Spy. During this, she spoke about WWE making an effort to sign more female writers to their staff.
Here is what she said:
“Hiring in the writing room is really important because it has previously been a fairly male-dominated writing room and there are big efforts right now to change that.
“I don’t have the stats off the top of my head. So I’m not sure how many women we’ve hired since we started but I know it’s several, including a senior ranking VP (Christine Lubrano) who’s in charge of many different aspects of making sure that the creative and partnerships and all lines of business are all working together.
“So there’s a been a huge movement. And for both men and women we are always looking to improve our storylines no matter what and improve our character development.”
My Take:
- I definitely think it is important to get more females in the writing room. This will hopefully lead to better input about the storylines for women.
