That's real good news. Thanks for the post, Scott. Hope someone manages to break in from this cool partnership! (ALWAYS like hearing of new opportunites for writers to score) - E.C. Henry from Bonney Lake, WA

Where's the part where it says how old is old enough for white men to become diverse?

Matthew, ageism is an issue in Hollywood, especially on the TV side where unless you're a producer or show runner, if you're over 40, you can be in for tough times trying to land a gig. The feature side, not as much, but as Franklin indicated in the Deadline article, "pre and early Baby Boomers." So perhaps 45+ and up for the WB initiative?

Chuckling at Matthew. Are you diverse yet? Wait! You don't need to divulge that information. Another great reason to grow older. It looks like a great initiative.

45 takes you through the tail end of the baby boom... if they specify early Baby Boomers, I'd think it's probably more like 65 and up.

Laura, I guess I'm showing my age, I got the "pre" and "post" mixed up. So yes, probably 60+ set. I'll confirm with Franklin what they mean by that.
