APPENDIX C Letter to Top Executives of Networks, Advertising Agencies and Packaging Firms Dear During the past several months I have been conducting a study of the attitudes and opinions of persons about their work in radio and TV, the satisfactions and frustrations they experience, and the more general problems which they feel confront the industry. A good portion of the personal interviews which my staff conducted with talent, writers, producers and directors concerned the question of blacklisting. A preliminary exploration of the field had convinced me that this issue had to be appraised in conjunction with other aspects of the industry. We have deliberately not talked to persons who believe they themselves have been blacklisted. The analysis of the interviews yielded a most fascinating picture. How- ever, I am convinced that this picture is incomplete without the comments of the leaders and policy makers in the field. This is why I am asking for the privilege of an interview with you. I want to discuss with you our findings to date and obtain your comments before submitting a final report to the public. You may wish to know that the study is being financed by The Fund for the Republic, as a self-contained section of their larger study of the entertainment industry. Let me add that I am talking with top executives in a number of different organizations related to the entertainment industry or in the industry itself. I believe you will find our research of interest and I look forward to discussing it with you. My secretary will check with your office within the next few days regarding a convenient time. Sincerely yours, MARIE JAHODA Professor of Psychology MJ:dh 281
