Nonfiction films can be an incredibly powerful way to get information. Truth is often so subjective that humans tend to believe what their eyes tell them first, which is why documentaries are such an impactful genre of storytelling. Well-made documentaries and docuseries can show beauty and wonder, but can also hold dark and sometimes uncomfortable truths.
Sadly, there is less of this content being made, according to new data from Diesel Labs. Diesel’s numbers indicate that the growth rate in releases of documentary films and series slowed dramatically in 2022. The release volume of such content only grew by 10% last year, as compared to a rate of 126% in 2021. In fact, last year was the only year since 2017 in which the release volume of documentaries did not exceed the previous year’s rate by more than 35%.
While seemingly all streaming services are investing in docs these days, this downturn in production...

NEW YORK -- Cable network operator Discovery Communications said Tuesday that founder John Hendricks will step down as CEO while staying on as chairman to separate the two top management posts in a move to strengthen corporate governance. According to Discovery, Hendricks recommended to shareholders at a meeting Monday that the positions be separated as of June 17 -- Discovery Channel's 20th anniversary. Second-in-command Judith McHale, president and chief operating officer, is set to take on the CEO post. "For some time now I have believed, in terms of modern corporate governance, that the skill sets and passion of a founding entrepreneur are best channeled through a chairman role," Hendricks said in a statement.
The International Emmy Awards will honor HBO and BBC director general Greg Dyke at its annual trophy show in November.

Past recipients of this award include Howard Stringer, CEO of Sony Corporation of America; Film on Four from the U.K.'s Channel 4; John Hendricks, founder and CEO of Discovery; Robert Halmi Sr.; Bill Cosby; Jacques-Yves Cousteau; David Attenborough; and Jim Henson.
