I'm hearing a lot from the media NGO sector about the impact of USAID cuts. A lot of small investigative media organisations across the globe are facing imminent closure as the funding they've budget for has vanished overnight, and the funder community has no capacity to absorb the shock.

Published today, @filmtvcharity.bsky.social 2024 Looking Glass Report shows that mental health in film, TV, and cinema is getting worse - despite some positive shifts in working culture.​ This is our response to the findings. Read the full report here: filmtvcharity.org.uk/research-imp...
Graphic reads: Poor mental health has for too long been accepted as the price that has to be paid to get TV programmes and films made. The findings of this report are not surprising, but they are horrific. With 30% of respondees reporting having thoughts of taking their own lives in the past 12 months, how is it not the single most important priority for this industry to improve the conditions that feed poor mental health? This survey shows that when employers use the best practice in the FTVC Whole Picture Toolkit, there are demonstrably better outcomes for the mental health of the workers on those productions. This proves that mentally healthy productions are truly within the employers' power to control.

Can’t be repeated often enough ‘The UK’s creative industries are vital to the economy. Valued at £124bn, they are worth more than the life sciences, aerospace and automotive industries combined. Arts and culture alone contribute an impressive £34.6bn.’ on.ft.com/42hzVmL
