    Development of the Global Film Industry The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional produc- tion companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a “big picture” view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated develop- ment of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world. Qiao Li is Associate Professor at Taylor’s University, Selangor, Malaysia, and Visiting Professor at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon- Sorbonne. He has a PhD in Film Studies from the University of Gloucestershire, UK, with expertise in Chinese- language cinema. He is a PhD supervisor, a film festival jury member, and an enthusiast of digital filmmaking with award- winning short films. He is the editor ofMigration and Memory: Arts and Cinemas of the Chinese Diaspora (Maison des Sciences et de l’Homme du Pacifique, 2019).

  • Strategic Public Relations Comp Exam Research Paper
    Strategic Public Relations Comp Exam Research Paper Student ID: 6860-0435-05 4/4/2018 I. Background ABC Network ABC’s history begins in 1926 when the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) was founded to establish a radio broadcasting network nationwide. Due to NBC’s surplus of affiliates, it divided its programming into two, the “Red” and the “Blue” networks. NBC sold its less profitable network (Blue) to Edward J. Noble in 1941 after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced companies could only have one radio network. Noble initially renamed the blue network the American Broadcasting System before changing it to the American Broadcasting Company, Inc. (ABC). In 1948, ABC began focusing on television but was unsuccessful until United Paramount Theatres (UPT) bought it in 1953. The merger financially helped ABC but not well enough to compete with the live programming of the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) and NBC. In 1986, Capital Cities Broadcasting acquired ABC1 and then in 1996 Disney merged with Capital Cities/ABC.2 ABC Television Network currently features many shows in the category of drama, comedy, reality, daytime talk shows, late-night talk shows and news programming. Their big hits include “Modern Family,” “How to Get Away with Murder,” “Dancing with the Stars,” “The Bachelor/Bachelorette,” “General Hospital,” “The View,” “The Chew,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and many more.
