  • Genius Brands International, Inc. Issues Shareholder Letter
    June 30, 2016 Genius Brands International, Inc. Issues Shareholder Letter BEVERLY HILLS, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/30/16 -- Genius Brands International (OTCQB: GNUS) recently released a letter to shareholders from Chairman & CEO Andy Heyward. The complete letter follows: I try to write regularly with the news going on within your company. Our news is good. The recent vote of the U.K. to exit the European Union has sent global markets in a tizzy. Yet it also illustrates one of the most interesting characteristics of Genius Brands International and the business of making animated cartoons. Our business isn't really affected if Britain leaves or stays within the EU. Our business really doesn't depend on the price of oil. Nor will it go up or down if Kim Jung Un launches a new missile in the Sea of Japan. The business of making animated cartoons won't be affected whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is elected our next President. Changes in technology or new distribution systems only enrich the intrinsic value of animated cartoons. Strong cartoon characters don't go obsolete and are not diminished by innovation. In fact, they are enhanced by it. Tom and Jerry was first made in 1939. It performed through World War II, through the Baby Boomer generation, through Generation X, through the Millennials, and it performs for kids today. It has gone through depressions and recessions, prosperity and booms. It went from distribution in movie theaters, to television, to cable, to satellite, to VHS, to DVD and Blu-ray, and now the Internet.

  • The Language of Wellness: Perceived 'Quasi-Health' in Cereal Advertising Language
    The Language of Wellness: Perceived 'Quasi-Health' in Cereal Advertising Language Alexandria Lampard Advised by Emily Gasser January 20, 2020 A thesis submitted to the Tri-College Linguistics Department in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Abstract This thesis explores interactions between food, language, culture, and marketing in order to recognize their convergence in food product advertising. Marketing, a field that blends the studies of psychology, sociology, economics, and business, is not normally associated with linguistics. However, by examining the link between them in isolation, and again through the lens of diet culture, both semantics and pragmatics emerge as essential to the efficacy of the advertising language that signals ‘health’ in a product. To understand how these linguistic advertising tactics affect consumers’ perceptions of a food, I conducted survey research to gather perceived ‘health’ ratings of various cereals solely based on their linguistic ‘health’ cues. The results of this study suggest that there is a relationship between the language used to market cereal and the consumer’s perception. Furthermore, these results implicate the influence of diet culture as an authority in the field of food product marketing. Acknowledgements: Primarily, I would like to thank my adviser, Emily Gasser, without whom I would have been utterly lost throughout this entire process; her encouragement, creativity, support, and understanding are the reason you are reading this. I would also like to express my immense gratitude to anyone who read this thesis and gave me feedback, including my second reader, Miranda Weinberg, my peer reviewers, and friends. The perspectives offered by each of these individuals allowed me the space to step outside of my own mind to understand what couldn’t be understood.

    CHRIS HORNBECKER / IFC HZ 06.13 PDXFilm.indd 24 5/16/13 12:40 PM SUPPORTING Portland locations and companies play important parts in the fi lm/TV industry ROLES By Eric Gold ast August, Roger Faires drove Hollywood director Kyle Alvarez around downtown Portland, through southeast neighborhoods and out L to Hood River Valley apple country. Faires is a location scout, and the Oregon Governor’s Offi ce of Film & Television had asked him to give the visit- ing fi lmmaker a tour. Alvarez was looking for a place to shoot C.O.G., his fi lm based on the David Sedaris short story, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and is expected to be released in movie theaters this fall. Even though the story—inspired by a period in Sedaris’ life when he picked apples and worked craft fairs—was set in Oregon, Faires knew Alvarez could shoot elsewhere: Virginia, Vermont or California could stand in. But Faires recalls that on the ride back into town, Alvarez “was on the phone to differ- ent people, saying, ‘We have to fi lm in Oregon. This is just unbelievable. It all makes sense now.’ ” This reaction has become familiar to Faires, who has scouted and managed fi lm locations for 25 years, the last 10 in Portland. As a scout, he is responsible for fi nding a place—or, usually, several options— that could be used to fi lm each scene in the script. When shooting begins, he becomes a location SIMON MAX HILL manager, deciding where to park trucks, acquiring curiosity and exploration, he says, are key to his suc- city permits and informing neighbors about where cess.

  • Comic-Con ‘18 1 CAPS Invades 0 San Diego
    Summer 2018 CON SEASON THE COMIC ART PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY President’s Message Greetings, CAPSers! Before I accepted the position of President, I sought advice from a number of my predecessors and other long-term CAPS members. One of the suggestions I heard was that CAPS may have outlived its usefulness, that all the things it was created to do are now done online. I don’t believe that’s entirely true. Yes, the Internet allows us to continue that mission and broaden our reach beyond the geographic boundaries of Southern California. While our local group is always the center of CAPS, there’s no reason why we can’t or shouldn’t increase our Associate Membership, and the internet can facilitate that. Social Media offers incredible opportunities for networking, sharing information, and socializing among cartoonists, but I believe that this merely alters the methods and priorities of CAPS, but it doesn’t eliminate our purpose. In fact, one aspect of our mission is now more important than ever: actual face-to-face interaction, getting to know each other in real life. This is why we are experimenting with involvement with conventions. In the past, it never made sense for us to have a table at cons, because we are not a “consumer facing” organization; apart from hosting members at a booth for sales, sketches and signings, we don’t have a lot to offer the public as an organization. Handing out brochures at a table is not going to reach many people who are eligible for membership. But as conventions become more expensive to table at, and as the number of conventions continues to multiply, it seems that a CAPS table is a good way to provide our members with space that they might not otherwise have.

PUB DATE 24 Jul 74 NOTE 90p. EDRS PRICE MF-$0.75 HC-$4.20 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS Agencies; *Broadcast Industry; *Children; *Citizens Councils; Commercial Television; Elementary School Students; Government (Administrative Body); Preschool Children: Publications; *Publicize; *Television Commercials IDENTIFIERS Columbia Broadcasting System; *Council on Children Media and Merchandising; Federal Communication Commission ABSTRACT The Council on Children, Media, and Merchandising, in a letter to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), issued a formal complaint against the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS). The Council charges that CBS has failed to meet its public interest obligations, as well as its obligations under the fairness doctrine, with respect to advertising aimed at children. The Council says that it first raised its concerns with the network, attempting to meet,the FCC's requirement of good faith attempts to resolve disputes between citizens and broadcasters outside its legal processes. The Council maintains that CBS chose to deny its responsibilities to children rather than accept the mandate of the Communications Act. As a result, the Council has been forced to come to the FCC to seek enforcement of this obligation. The Council urges the FCC to reaffirm broadcasters' obligations to children by requiring CBS to present information to children that would educate them about television advertising. The Council also urges the FCC to investigate CBS's failure to inform adult viewers of the children's advertising issue to determine whether it has violated the first, as well as the second leg of its fairness doctrine obligations.
