Do you know anyone working on independent factual/unscripted TV productions? If so, please let them know about the anonymous online survey we are conducting to get a better sense of conditions in the industry and how to improve them. The survey runs to July 22.

The responses will remain completely anonymous. So far, more than 250 people have answered the survey. Even more responses will give us all a better picture of what needs to be fixed.

Please share the link on Facebook and pass it along to anyone you know who might be interested. Here’s a blurb you could use on Facebook: What’s it really like to work in factual TV? If you work in unscripted independent TV in Canada, fill out the anonymous online survey and help fill out the picture of working conditions in the industry. The results, which will remain anonymous, will be used to make improvements for workers: http://canadianmediaguild.ca/forms/factualtvsurvey2013.html .
