MEDIA GUIDES
To help bridge the gaps between where we are and where we should be, TTIE and Storyline Partners — of which CAPE is a proud partner — have developed the #WriteInclusion: Tips for Accurate Representation project. These heavily researched and vetted factsheets are designed as a tool to guide storytellers through a number of mis- and underrepresented communities and issues. They call out harmful stereotypes and call in more inclusive, authentic narratives.
These factsheets could never capture every experience, nuance, or truth of every community, but they can assist in changing the way we tell stories on television, in movies, and across merging platforms. Consider them the starting point of the conversation.
