It sounds like an interesting article that makes all sorts of enlightening points, but I'm afraid I'd need something like a key to industry terms to understand large portions of it!

"Showrunner" is the writer who created the original idea that a show be done, who is the manager in charge of getting it done. Always a writer (because episodic TV needs someone who knows the whole picture of the project) - hires the other writers, the directors who come in to shoot the episodes, the acting talent, crew, etc. (Runs the Show)
"notes" - commentary/feedback on the written screenplay. Hopefully useful, (too) often useless, but the writer still has to respond to them.
Sorry! I was gone all day but those two terms were the main ones. I often acquire vocabulary additions from reading context, but in this case some of the context was confusing. When that happens it can mean the systems or relationships involved are counter intuitive, actually illogical or or there is something else wrong with them... which seems to be partly the case here. "Notes" was especially odd.

List the terms you don't understand and I'll define them for you. I'm sure this would also be helpful for other readers.
Showrunner and notes . Thanks for this good article.
