Focus: Newer breed of writers are also spewing the same old content. In fact they almost seem like by-products of the last one decade of television lacking any new contemporary creative insight or approach. Is there any space for new voices that equals to new content, new stories in our television? Where is the new talent? Is the new talent sitting in fear to bring forth new ideas?
