Media Industry Has Highest Incidence of Sexual Harassment Among White-Collar Workers, Survey Finds
https://variety.com/2018/biz/news/media-industry-sexual-harassment-survey-1202884052/
About 41% of women in media and entertainment say they’ve been sexually harassed by a colleague or boss at some point in their careers, according to a new report — the highest rate among white-collar industries.
The study, “What #MeToo Means for Corporate America,” was conducted by Center for Talent Innovation (CTI), a New York-based think tank focused on workplace issues.
The report found that across eight industry categories, 34% of women and 13% of men have been victims of sexual harassment, defined as an unwanted sexual advance or obscene remark. The results confirm that the problem is unusually rampant in the media biz, an industry that has recently seen sexual-misconduct accusations against once-high-powered types like Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, Bill O’Reilly and Charlie Rose
Not surprised that the media industry is full of sexual harassment. The industries that are more left dominated have more issues with sexual harassment.

I think the old saying that, "Power corrupts, and ..." is a little off center. It's more like power enables corrupt people. For whatever reason, the entertainment industry seems always to have attracted an over-sized share of people whose ambitions are stronger than their morals.
