‘You have to take risks – that’s how you get hits’: Network 10 head reveals the show that rebounded despite its initial flop
In today’s rapidly evolving media landscape, finding the right balance between commercial success and content strategy is more crucial than ever.
Network 10 president and Paramount ANZ head of streaming and regional lead Beverley McGarvey discussed this in the context of producing TV shows.
On a panel at the Women in Media National Conference on Friday, McGarvey emphasised how creating some less successful shows is often necessary to eventually produce high-quality content.
It appears to me that women have been put into positions of power that they know nothing about. This obsession about equality has been totally been taken out of context.
I believe that the fight for equality for women has gone in the wrong direction.
Women should be fighting for equality on the wage front. There are still women not being paid the same pay as men, doing the same job, this should be the fight.
I see a lot of people, male and female in very high position who are put there because of who they know, or their position in society.
Women should learn to negotiate better for their rights to earn the same salary packages as the males get doing the same job.
