The American television industry is in a moment of transition because of changes brought about by digital distribution and audience fragmentation. This thesis argues that the television industry can no longer adapt to the changing media landscape because structural relationships and business logics forged in previous eras do not allow for meaningful innovation. This project investigates how these relationships evolved and how they can be made more flexible to meet the challenges of digital distribution and digitally networked audiences. Legacy relationships, logics, and measurement methods have prevented the television industry from maximizing the value of increasingly fragmented television audiences. Publishers, advertisers, and measurement companies have historically been able to get around the limitations of their relationships to one another, but they are now faced with increasing competition from digital companies that understand how to make fragmented audiences valuable. This thesis argues that the methodologies and corporate ethos of successful online companies can serve as a model for the television industry, or they can be its undoing. This project also argues that the television ratings system is no longer serving the television industry, the advertising industry, and television audiences. The television industry has the opportunity to develop a system of audience measurement that maintains the residual value of television audiences while accounting for the value of audience expression. To leverage the true value of the television audience, the television industry must reconcile the commodity value of the audience with the cultural value that viewers derive from television programming. This thesis proposes that the cultural value of content should augment the commodity value of the audience. This project concludes that the television industry should reconfigure its economic structure by looking to other digital business, experimenting with new business models online, and actively exploring emergent sites of audience value.

Full textCorporate losses attributable to failed M&A have to date cost an immense amount of resources.Off the bat the undertaken study argues for the case that it is negligence of employee emotionsand reactions during the M&A process that cause the failure rate to be consistently high. Thisstipulation is subsequently built upon with the construction of a proposed theoretical frameworkderived from an extensive examination of relevant M&A literature. A major focus of the studywas to plunge into and explore the world of employee anxiety and stress elicited from looming orongoing M&A, which was accomplished by interviewing individuals that had been top managersduring at least one M&A. Among other motives, narratives were compiled from the interviews inorder to guide the reader to the prevalence of the particular stressors under scrutiny, but alsobecause illustrating these individuals’ experiences through coherent stories is an ample dataanalysis technique course to take as people perceive their lives in terms of continuity and processwhich is the attributes that M&A pertain to. The interviews revealed a number of interesting andimplicative findings, which are summarized in a proposed model presented by the author in theend of the study. The findings are based on existing theory but also derived from grounded theoryobtained from the interviews. There seems to be two sets of stressors affecting the dependentvariables of the study – job satisfaction and organizational commitment. These two sets divergein the urgency and degree of emphasis that they demand from top management in order for theadverse employee reactions to be prevented or mitigated. The proposed model is intended tofunction as a roadmap or check list that top managers can use when conducting the merger inorder to make sure that the facet that matters most in order to ensure a successful merger – theemployees, are addressed germanely.

Public interest media organizations are increasingly interested in experimenting with interactive and participatory approaches to documentary storytelling enabled by digital technologies. However, due to the experimental nature of these interactive documentaries, it is not yet clear whether the more active user engagements they require translate into outcomes like sustained attention, greater narrative comprehension, enhanced learning, empathy or civic engagement - never mind larger societal impacts like improved public discourse, behavior change or policy change. The shifting definitions and measures of complex, multi-dimensional concepts like "engagement" and "impact" is a challenge for public interest media organizations migrating to digital platforms - particularly at a time when audience activities have become far more transparent and funders place greater emphasis on "data-driven" impact measurement. This thesis explores the "theories of change" that inform institutional investments in documentary and examines how three public interest media organizations - the National Film Board of Canada, POV and the New York Times - are approaching interactive documentary production, attempting to define what constitutes success or impact - and how to measure it. I argue that we need new theories of change and evaluation frameworks that expand definitions of "impact" and "engagement," balancing public service mission with the strategic goals of audience development and the circuitous processes of artistic and technological innovation. This means looking beyond quantitative mass media era metrics, which fail to account for important qualitative dimensions of the user experience. I propose a new set of qualitative and quantitative measures that might better reflect the social and artistic aspirations of the interactive documentary, test assumptions in ways that can inform project design, and embrace the potentials of technology to transform the methods, ethics and process of documentary storytelling in the digital age.

Full textThis dissertation looks at critical interventions made by select San Francisco bay area choreographers and dance programmers interested in altering spectatorial norms for contemporary dance. Those selected have strategically employed food themes and materials in and as performance, simultaneously tapping into existing foodie ideology and redressing concerns about dwindling audiences for live dance performance in the twenty-first century. I argue that such efforts 1) bring to light subsumed race, class, and gender politics embedded in the trend towards "audience engagement," espoused by arts funders and dance makers alike as a necessary intervention for the survival of contemporary dance; and 2) open up discursive and experiential realms of possibility by favoring material, associative exchange, (re)awakening synesthetic sensory-perceptive capacities, inviting spectators to refigure themselves as co-creators in performance, and providing opportunities to reckon with exoticizing desires to enrich one's own culture by consuming another's.
In theoretically grouping these choreographies together I illustrate a spectrum of responses that clarify how food-oriented performance gatherings can operate not only as strategies for altering audience relations, but as sites for alternative knowledge production and fruitful commensal exchange. Such research draws from and intervenes in the overlapping fields of food studies, American studies, and performance and dance studies. This analysis is uniquely positioned amongst other work addressing the interstices between food and performance in its emphasis explicitly on Western concert dance. It also contributes significantly to the archives of an often overlooked San Francisco bay area dance community.
Methodologically I take a dance studies approach, generating choreographic analyses enabled through interviews with choreographers and dance programmers, my own work as witness/participant in the selected events, and archival research into feminist theories of performativity, anthropologies of the senses, contemporary theories of embodiment and select dance and theatre scholarship from the 1800s to the present. Throughout I prioritize the embodied experience of spectatorship, highlighting how contemporary corporeality is shaped by shifting inclusions and exclusions of various peoples and practices, capitalist economic models, the pervasive reach of readily-available digitized media, and both dominant and alternative systems of knowledge production.

As the media landscape in the United States has shifted and changed, the emphasis placed on digital technologies - particularly with respect to audience engagement - has become increasingly noteworthy. However, when situated against a backdrop of risk communications and sensationalized spectacle, such an emphasis also becomes concerning. This thesis examines the audience engagement considerations and practices of the media industry at present through a discussion of current social media policies and practices, a discussion of the affordances and constraints of social media as they relate to public health communications concerns, and an analysis of the affective implications of the heavy emphasis placed on images used on social media. This breakdown is partnered with a data-oriented exploration of U.S. audience trends and U.S. media coverage of the 2014 Ebola and 2015-2017 Zika outbreaks to underscore the perception gap that U.S. audiences are contending with. In doing so, I use a theoretical framework of sensationalism, gatekeeping, and media figurations to argue that audience engagement is not merely a journalistic, revenue-oriented concern - it is a public health concern too.

Full textLa présente thèse examine la rhétorique qui sous-tend les cas narratifs (de 5,21 à 43; de 7,24 à 30; de 9,14 à 29) et discursifs (9,33 à 37; de 10,13 à 16) dans la langue de Marc portant sur les enfants, et analyse comment et dans quelle mesure la langue Marcan relative aux enfants est présentée comme rhétorique pour s'adresser clairement aux niveaux élites et non-élites de la double audience à laquelle s'adresse l'Évangile, en se fondant sur la théorie développée par Henderson. La thèse soutient que les récits de guérisons d'enfants favorisent la construction d'une conception inscrite de l'enfant et de la relation parent-enfant, et que cette conception exerce une influence déterminante sur la lecture / l'audition des discours formellement argumentatifs. Cette approche cherche à clarifier le projet persuasif de Marc visant à promouvoir, d'une part, une forme de leadership communautaire fondé sur le sacrifice de soi qui cible les élites proto-chrétiennes, et d'une autre part, une forme intime de dévotion personnelle au Christ s'adressant aux non-élites. J'espère, de cette façon, contribuer au débat d'idées croissant sur la nature et la compréhension des enfants et de l'enfance dans le monde ancien et à l'aube du christianisme, sur la formation de l'audience Marcan, puis sur les dynamiques du pouvoir et des clivages au sein de la communauté proto-chrétienne projetée par l'Évangile.

It is commonly accepted that media and communication technologies play pivotal roles in the complex processes of what is broadly termed "globalization." The increasing speed, volume, and scale of transnational circulation has been one of the most dramatic development in the media landscape, creating what Appadurai has dubbed global "mediascapes" that are reshaping the way we understand cultural formation. While the rise of massive global commercial media enterprises leads to renewed discussion of the dominance of the "West" upon the "Rest," the increasing portability, transmitability, and reproducibility of media has helped to generate a grassroots globalization of migrant populations who circulate and engage with media from the "homeland," creating deterritorialized social imaginaries that transcend national boundaries. In examining the flourishing online fandom around the circulation of East Asian television drama, however, the established models of transnational media audiences prove insufficient. With the emergence of internet technologies, these mediascapes have now become networked, increasing the visibility and complexity of transnational media flows and the audiences around them. No longer are we seeing transnational media flows through only commercial markets or diasporic audiences seeking to connect with a virtual "home." In the online circulation of East Asian television dramas, fans with a broad range of cultural, ethnic, and national backgrounds are consciously working to shape audience engagement with these transnational television texts through fansubbing, content aggregation and curation, and the production of vast reservoirs of information, discourse, and meta-data that is constantly being expanded. More importantly, they are doing so publicly, collaboratively, and outside the domain of commercial television markets. enabling individuals to participate in the selection, (re)production, and circulation of texts and images that shape the very social imaginaries they inhabit. This work draws on insights from work on globalization, diasporic media use, fan and audience studies, and new media and employs various ethnographic, textual, and theoretical strategies and stances in an effort to illuminate key dimensions of these collaborative grassroutes of transnational media. What manner of cultural encounters are taking place within the interplay between diasporic conditions and fan practices? How do the circulation and consumption practices afforded by new media technologies inform, and can in turn be informed by, the conditions of global media audienceship? From there we may begin to remap some of complex social, technological, and textual entanglements of cultural negotiation in an increasingly global media age.

Full textFörmågan att anpassa sina yttranden efter samtalspartnerns behov är mindre utvecklad hos barn än hos vuxna. Beteendet att ackommodera lyssnaren vid yttrandeformulering benämns ofta som mottargaranpassning. Mottagaranpassning i konversation har föreslagits vara avhängig exekutiva funktioner, såsom arbetsminne och kognitiv flexibilitet. Med tanke på att ungdomsåren är en viktig period för social och kognitiv mognad har anmärkningsvärt lite forskning genomförts på utvecklingen av mottagaranpassning under ungdomsåren. Målet med studien var att undersöka utvecklingen av mottagaranpassning i ungdomsåren och testa dess eventuella avhängighet av exekutiva funktioner. Deltagare (11–12 och 15–16 år) genomförde två tester som mätte (1) förmågan att anpassa referentiella yttranden till lyssnares förmodade omvärldskunskap och (2) exekutiva funktioner. Resultaten indikerar att förmågan att anpassa sina yttranden efter lyssnares förmodade omvärldskunskap utvecklas betydligt under ungdomsåren. Trots att den äldre åldersgruppen presterade bättre på testet som mätte exekutiva funktioner, predicerade inte exekutiva funktioner förmågan att mottagaranpassa referentiella yttranden. Framtida studier bör undersöka huruvida förmågan att tillskriva kunskapstillstånd till andra effektiviseras under ungdomsåren, och således främjar utvecklingen av mottagaranpassning.

The purpose of this dissertation is to 1) critically explore how contemporary advertisers are operating within a glocal framework to diffuse product information and branding to diverse, distant consumers; and 2) to assess the implications of these processes for consumer-audiences. This project explores what approaches global advertising producers utilize to distribute product information and branding to local audiences, how these processes then impact and shape the creation and diffusion advertising campaigns, and lastly, how do those processes impact the way advertisers imagine and target their audiences. The findings of this study shed light on how advertising producers imagine their work, their role within that work, and the audiences who consume their products. This project uncovers how the processes of global information diffusion impact partnerships between “headquarters” and local offices, the way in which messages are adapted and localized for various audiences, how these messages are extolled around the world, and conversely, what messages, stories, or cultural values might be minimized or lost as a result of this current environment. This project draws upon in-depth interviews with advertising professionals and other global stakeholders, as well as on industry trade reports, press articles, and academic research. Interviews were conducted with global stakeholders at Airbnb, Campbell Soup, and Under Armour. In addition to conducting in-depth interviews as a methodological approach, this dissertation engages with a case study logic as a way of understanding the context within which global advertisers localize global brands. Furthermore, employing a multiple-case study approach allowed me to compare and contrast processes and implications between and amongst this trio of brands and various global producers, balancing the intricacies of a single organization with larger themes and trends in industrial production. Themes related to the glocal framework emerged that spoke to the complex processes that global producers must navigate in order to do work on a global scale. These themes, the Global Mindset, which considers how producers conceptualize their role and their work; the Global Story, which explores how producers tell global stories to their consumers (and to themselves); and the Global Consumer, which illuminates the undercarriage of the delicate relationship between producers and consumers; have significant implications because understanding global production processes helps to explain under what context campaigns were conceptualized, how decisions were made, and why certain campaigns are more culturally relevant to local audiences. Beyond this, these findings shed light on the nuances of global brand diffusion pointing to larger trends in glocal advertising, and more broadly, the future of advertising on a global scale.

Full textTurkey's most controversial religious figure is the Muslim cleric and author Fethullah Gülen, whose followers have established around one thousand schools in 135 countries. Since 2003, the Gülen-affiliated educational non-profit TÜRKÇEDER has organized the International Turkish Olympiad, a competition for children enrolled in the Gülen schools. The showpiece of this event is its song contest, in which students perform well-known Turkish songs before live audiences of thousands in cities all over Turkey and reach millions more via television broadcasts and the Internet. While the contest resembles American Idol in its focus on individual singers and Eurovision in its nationalistic overtones, the fact that the singers are performing songs associated with a nationality not their own raises intriguing questions about the intended message of the competition as well as about its publics. To answer these questions, I analyzed YouTube videos of the competition and examined YouTube comments, popular websites, and newspaper opinion columns. I conclude that the performers themselves are meant to feel an affinity with Turkish culture and values, while Turkish audiences receive a demonstration that Gülen's brand of Islam is compatible with Turkish nationalism. Moreover, the competition reaches a multiplicity of publics both within and beyond Turkey. While some of these can be characterized as essentially oppositional counterpublics, I find that, in the case of the Turkish Olympiad, the dichotomy between rational public and emotional or irrational counterpublic established collectively by such theorists of publics as Jürgen Habermas and Michael Warner begins to break down.

Full textAquesta tesi doctoral està el·laborada al voltant d'un compendi de 4 publicacions. L'objectiu és abordar d'una manera holística els LGBT/Queer Media Studies i contribuir al seu desenvolupament com a camp acadèmic. Es tracta d'un camp emergent que combina els estudis sobre la diversitat sexual i de gènere amb els estudis dels mitjans de comunicació. D'aquesta manera, en la tesi s'expliquen tant les aportacions de la teoria queer i els estudis gais i lesbians, com els que ofereixen les teories de la comunicació. Les publicacions incloses en el compendi aborden qüestions relacionades amb la representació de persones LGBT als mitjans de comunicació, tant al contingut informatiu com a la ficció, així com els efectes que produeix a l'audiència, tant a la general com a la LGBT de manera específica. Més concretament, recullen alguns dels temes més actuals en l'estudi dels LGBT/Queer Media Studies, com les famílies homoparentals formades per gestació subrogada o la Síndrome de la Lesbiana Morta. Per fer-ho s'han combinat diverses metodologies qualitatives, incloent la revisió crítica de la literatura, els focus groups o l'anàlisi de contingut qualitatiu de xarxes socials i fòrums en línia. Els resultats no pretenen presentar una comprensió integral i exhaustiva dels LGBT/Queer Media Studies sinó reflectir algunes de les múltiples possibilitats de recerca que ofereix aquest camp i dotar-lo amb eines per seguir explorant-lo.
This doctoral thesis is built around a compendium of 4 publications. The objective is to holistically address LGBT/Queer Media Studies and contribute to its development as an academic field. It is an emerging field that combines the studies on sexual and gender diversity with media studies. In this way, this thesis explains both the contributions of queer theory and gay and lesbian studies, as well as those offered by communication theories. The publications included in the compendium address issues related to the representation of LGBT people in the media, both in informative content and in fiction, and the effects it produces on both the general audience and the LGBT community. Specifically, they collect some of the most current topics in the study of LGBT/Queer Media Studies, such as homoparental families formed by surrogacy or the Dead Lesbian Syndrome. To do this, several qualitative methodologies have been combined, including a critical review of the literature, focus groups, and analysis of the qualitative content of social networks and online forums.
