The producers of In the Life, television's longest running LGBTQ news magazine, approached the UCLA Film & Television Archive in 2012 with an exciting opportunity: to become the caretakers of In the Life's 20-year collection of irreplaceable, historic and meaningful materials, and make those materials available online for free to students, researchers and the general public.Needless to say, the Archive was very honored, and very enthusiastic. Created and produced by John Scagliotti, In the Life first premiered in 1992 on the New York public television station WNYC-TV, a PBS affiliate, and thrived for 20 years as a trailblazer in LGBTQ representation and equal rights advocacy. The program reported on milestones in the media-such as Ellen DeGeneres' coming out on television-provided a voice to LGBTQ artists and activists, and contributed invaluable insight on political developments. The Archive's In the Life online resource will eventually include every show produced (more than 190 episodes), in addition to long-form interviews, unseen footage, essays, photos and other supplementary content.
