Discovery has reportedly reversed its decision to shut down an internal division devoted to fostering minority TV writing and directing talent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">Instead of axing the division, executives will move it under the company\u2019s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion unit, where it will be led by two corporate DEI officers, according to a Deadline <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2022\/10\/warner-bros-discovery-u-turn-on-closure-of-writers-directors-workshops-1235142842\/\">report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2022\/10\/12\/warner-bros-discovery-pulls-the-plug-on-television-workshop-focusing-on-diversity\/\">reported<\/a>, the Warner Bros. Television\u00a0Workshop was the latest casualty in the media giant\u2019s ongoing round of cost cutting. CEO David Zaslav has promised to find \u00a0$3 billion in cost savings from the merged corporation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">The workshop sought out and nurtured diverse talent among TV writers and directors who then moved on to create or work on new \u00a0TV series. Among the shows that reportedly benefited from workshop talent was the woke HBO flop <em>Lovecraft Country<\/em>, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2021\/07\/04\/hbos-woke-pandering-lovecraft-country-canceled-after-1-season-smeared-police-america-as-racist\/\">canceled last year after just one season.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Warner Bros. Discovery pulled the plug on the entire workshop, which has been in existence for four decades, as well as a department called Stage 13, which created short form shows.<\/p>\n<p>But the move provoked negative industry reaction, including a statement of condemnation from the Directors Guild of America. \u201cThe DGA will not stand idly by while WB\/Discovery seeks to roll back decades of advancement for women and directors of color,\u201d the organization said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Woke social media reaction also attacked the new corporate leaders.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Exactly 19 months later: \u201cWarner Bros. is shutting down its Writers\/Directors Workshop and Stage 13 unit. Both are major paths for underrepresented voices in television. Big setback for Hollywood&#8217;s diversity movement.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattBelloni?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MattBelloni<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yNj64HkZmA\">https:\/\/t.co\/yNj64HkZmA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Franklin Leonard (@franklinleonard) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/franklinleonard\/status\/1579945906241441792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 11, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What a shame \ud83d\udc94 This was an important program for so many diverse voices. The majority of cuts at Warner Bros\/Discovery have affected minority groups, diversity &#038; inclusion.
