Norman Lear: The Producer Who Turned Sitcoms Into Social Arguments
The man behind All in the Family and The Jeffersons built a comedy empire out of arguments America was already having at its own dinner tables.
Profiles carries the magazine's long-form portraits: actors, showrunners, directors, editors and department heads, reported over hours rather than a single phone call. Each piece asks how the work gets made and what it costs the person making it. For readers who want interviews that pass the junket answer.
Long-form portraits of actors, writers, directors and crew, reported with time on set and questions about the work instead of the private life.
