In Support of EYE Speak's Mission, CBS Television Studios'
The Good Fight Will Hold a Special Premiere Event at the Wing
in New York on Feb. 26
NEW YORK - Feb. 21, 2018 - CBS Corporation today announced the launch of EYE Speak, a program designed to promote female empowerment and help forge a path of growth and opportunity for women in the Company as well as the entertainment industry as a whole. The program was announced today by Jo Ann Ross, President and Chief Advertising Revenue Officer, CBS Corporation. EYE Speak was conceived and developed by colleagues at CBS Television Studios, CBS Entertainment Diversity and Inclusion, CBS Corporate Communications and CBS Sales.
To launch the initiative, CBS Television Studios will host a kickoff event on March 14 in Los Angeles featuring a panel of some of the strongest female voices in front of and behind the camera. They include: Maria Bello (NCIS), Sonequa Martin-Green (STAR TREK: DISCOVERY), Sara Ramirez (MADAM SECRETARY), Gina Rodriguez (JANE THE VIRGIN), Lori McCreary (MADAM SECRETARY), Aline Brosh McKenna (CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND) and Jennie Snyder Urman (JANE THE VIRGIN). They will unite to share their personal stories and how each of them is helping to move the conversation forward.
The launch event for EYE Speak will be in concert with the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) and its #SeeHer campaign. #SeeHer was created with the mission to portray girls and women accurately in media. The goal is for women and girls, by 2020, to see themselves reflected as they truly are. The EYE Speak kickoff event is part of CBS' ongoing partnership with the ANA to promote the initiative's mission.
As part of EYE Speak, CBS plans to host events throughout the year, including mentorship programs and fireside chats for employees at various CBS campuses, where they will have direct access to CBS executives and high-profile women in all areas of entertainment. The company also will look to build themed events and programs around certain CBS series and creative talent to create more opportunities for learning and growth.
To support the mission of EYE Speak, CBS Television Studios' critically acclaimed series THE GOOD FIGHT for CBS All Access will host a special season two premiere screening at The Wing, a network of women's co-working and community spaces, in New York on Feb. 26. The event will include an intimate discussion with the strong female voices of the series. Participating in the panel will be the series' stars Christine Baranski, Rose Leslie, Audra McDonald, executive producer/showrunner Michelle King, and Brooke Kennedy, who serves as an executive producer and director.
I am extremely proud to be associated with EYE Speak' because it addresses my passion to help women at CBS learn, grow and flourish, said Jo Ann Ross. It's a wonderful opportunity to continue building on the positive impact that the CBS Women's Networking Group and other women's initiatives have already had on so many. I look forward to contributing to EYE Speak's' success and to having a front-row seat in observing ANA's #SeeHer's mission come to life.
We are delighted to continue to partner with CBS, added ANA #SeeHer chair Stephen Quinn. EYE Speak is another initiative showcasing that CBS understands the role media plays influencing how women and girls see themselves, and another bold step to reduce unconscious bias. Together we are working hard to attain our goal of improving representation of girls and women in media 20% by 2020, the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote.
