  • Media Ownership Chart
    In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly . In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media" -- controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies. He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies. This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six. Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4 Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation. In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly , shows that only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth.

  • Smörgåsbord: Lucy Dacus Displays Her Range with New EP “2019”
    Smörgåsbord: Lucy Dacus displays her range with new EP “2019” graphic by Jennifer Ren Indie rock singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus has been steadily climbing her way into the spotlight. Her “2019” EP dropped November 8, capitalizing on her streak of popularity. Last year her sophomore record “Historian” hit #39 on the UK Independent Albums chart. She also debuted the band boygenius with fellow indie musicians Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker to widespread acclaim. Most recently, on the same night of her EP release, Dacus opened for alternative pop star Lana Del Rey’s live show at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom, and was invited to perform her song “Night Shift” during the show itself. In such a time when critics and fans alike are singing Dacus’ praises, her latest work only compounds her relevancy. “2019” is a collection of three original tracks and four covers, each themed around holidays or other days of the year significant to Dacus. Over the course of its namesake year, Dacus released almost every song close in date to its respective inspiration. The exception was the EP-exclusive “Fool’s Gold,” a melancholy tribute to New Year’s. She started off this project back in February, releasing a cover of the romantic classic “La Vie Smörgåsbord: Lucy Dacus displays her range with new EP “2019” En Rose” for Valentine’s Day. This song has been performed and recorded by many since its original release in 1947, but Dacus’ take is unique to her style and sound. She utilizes the guitar-driven indie rock that she built her name off to turn the popular cover into a track that could have been an original.

    ARAB TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Music Dacus sings young love Cat album falters at fi rst but ends strong By Mark Kennedy ot to be totally catty, but Doja Cat’s third album Nstarts poorly. The first four songs — “Woman,” “Naked,” “Payday” with Young Thug and “Get Into It (Yuh)” — are half-baked tunes mimicking beats and vocals from Nicki Minaj or Rihanna. None are note- worthy. It’s depressing. What happened to the artist behind 2019s “Hot Pink,” a sonic breath of fresh air? What happened to the Doja Cat whose electric performance of “Say So” at the Grammys was reminiscent of Missy Elliott’s futurism? Just wait. The fi fth song, “Need to Know,” is a superb, steamy sex tape of a song (with Dr. Luke co-writing and producing) and the sixth, “I Don’t Do Drugs” featuring Ariana Grande, is airy and confi dent with heav- enly harmonies. “Love to Dream” follows, a slice of dreamy pop, and then The Weeknd stops by on a terrifi c, slow-burning “You Right.” Cat The Cat is back. From then on, the 14-track “Planet Her” rights itself with whispery pop songs and the envelope-pushing “Options” with JID, climaxing with the awesome “Kiss Me More,” the previously released single with SZA that has a Gwen Stefani-ish refrain and must be considered a strong contender for This image released by A24 shows Riley Keough, (left), and Taylour Paige in a scene from ‘Zola.’ (AP) song of the summer. Despite the weak start, Doja Cat fulfi lls her promise on “Planet Her,” with an exciting, unpredictable style and a vocal ability that can switch from buttery sweet- Film ness to cutting raps.

  • How to Use Inclusion Riders to Increase Gender Diversity in the Music Industry
    Seton Hall University eRepository @ Seton Hall Law School Student Scholarship Seton Hall Law 2019 Can't Hold Us Down”1: How to Use Inclusion Riders to Increase Gender Diversity in the Music Industry Laura Kozel Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.shu.edu/student_scholarship Part of the Law Commons Recommended Citation Kozel, Laura, "Can't Hold Us Down”1: How to Use Inclusion Riders to Increase Gender Diversity in the Music Industry" (2019). Law School Student Scholarship. 1019. https://scholarship.shu.edu/student_scholarship/1019 ABSTRACT Despite improvements in female visibility and a number of movements pushing for equality in recent years, gender imbalance continues to plague the world of entertainment. While strides have been made to achieve parity in the film industry, little progress has been made to achieve the same in music where the disproportionality of females is even worse. Females are chronically underrepresented across virtually all aspects of music, both on-stage and off-stage, whether it be as musicians or as executives, which subsequently effects the amount of nominations, as well as awards that females in music receive. The implementation of inclusion riders in Hollywood has demonstrably improved female representation in popular films, but until now inclusion riders have not been applied to the music industry. This paper explores the application of inclusion riders to the music industry in order to remedy a long-standing history of female exclusion, as well as increase visibility for the vast number of talented females in the music industry that deserve the same opportunities and recognition, but until now have remained invisible.
