- [ZEE Network Withdraws 'Rotational Credit' Policy for TV Writers After SWA Intervention](https://bolsterflip.com/zee-network-withdraws-rotational-credit-policy-for-tv-writers-after-swa-intervention/): Mumbai, India – In a significant victory for Indian television creators, ZEE Network has officially reversed a contentious internal policy that capped on-screen credits and forced writers onto a “rotational credit” system across its national and regional shows. The reversal follows formal intervention by the Screenwriters Association (SWA) and widespread pushback from affected writers. The broadcaster had implemented a “six-credits-only” mandate, strictly limiting on-screen credits to six names per episode, a space already dominated by producers, creative producers, and directors. Under this framework, writers—who routinely share responsibilities across story, screenplay, episodic writing, and dialogue—were left to split the remaining slots. To […]
