  • Vlogging the Museum: Youtube As a Tool for Audience Engagement
    Vlogging the Museum: YouTube as a tool for audience engagement Amanda Dearolph A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2014 Committee: Kris Morrissey Scott Magelssen Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Museology ©Copyright 2014 Amanda Dearolph Abstract Vlogging the Museum: YouTube as a tool for audience engagement Amanda Dearolph Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Kris Morrissey, Director Museology Each month more than a billion individual users visit YouTube watching over 6 billion hours of video, giving this platform access to more people than most cable networks. The goal of this study is to describe how museums are taking advantage of YouTube as a tool for audience engagement. Three museum YouTube channels were chosen for analysis: the San Francisco Zoo, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Field Museum of Natural History. To be included the channel had to create content specifically for YouTube and they were chosen to represent a variety of institutions. Using these three case studies this research focuses on describing the content in terms of its subject matter and alignment with the common practices of YouTube as well as analyzing the level of engagement of these channels achieved based on a series of key performance indicators. This was accomplished with a statistical and content analysis of each channels’ five most viewed videos. The research suggests that content that follows the characteristics and culture of YouTube results in a higher number of views, subscriptions, likes, and comments indicating a higher level of engagement. This also results in a more stable and consistent viewership.

  • “Decreasing World Suck”
    Dz dzǣ Fan Communities, Mechanisms of Translation, and Participatory Politics Neta Kligler-Vilenchik A Case Study Report Working Paper Media, Activism and Participatory Politics Project AnnenBerg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California June 24, 2013 Executive Summary This report describes the mechani sms of translation through which participatory culture communities extend PHPEHUV¶cultural connections toward civic and political outcomes. The report asks: What mechanisms do groups use to translate cultural interests into political outcomes? What are challenges and obstacles to this translation? May some mechanisms be more conducive towards some participatory political outcomes than others? The report addresses these questions through a comparison between two groups: the Harry Potter Alliance and the Nerdfighters. The Harry Potter Alliance is a civic organization with a strong online component which runs campaigns around human rights issues, often in partnership with other advocacy and nonprofit groups; its membership skews college age and above. Nerdfighters are an informal community formed around a YouTube vlog channel; many of the pDUWLFLSDQWVDUHKLJKVFKRRODJHXQLWHGE\DFRPPRQJRDORI³GHFUHDVLQJZRUOGVXFN.´ These two groups have substantial overlapping membership, yet they differ in their strengths and challenges in terms of forging participatory politics around shared cultural interests. The report discusses three mechanisms that enable such translation: 1. Tapping content worlds and communities ± Scaffolding the connections that group members have through their shared passions for popular culture texts and their relationships with each other toward the development of civic identities and political agendas. 2. Creative production ± Encouraging production and circulation of content, especially for political expression. 3. Informal discussion ± Creating and supporting spaces and opportunities for conversations about current events and political issues.

Tutkielmani tavoitteena on selvittää miten naishahmoja kuvataan Greenin kirjoissa ja miten se eroaa mieshahmojen kuvauksesta. Lisäksi pohdin mediarepresentaation tärkeyttä etenkin nuorille suunnatussa kirjallisuudessa sekä sitä, ovatko Greenin naishahmot autenttisen tuntuisia. Teoriataustana käytän teoksia hahmojentutkimuksen, feministisen kirjallisuusteorian, kerronnantutkimuksen ja stereotyyppientutkimuksen alueilta. Tutkimusmenetelmänäni on tekstin huolellinen lukeminen, eng. ’close reading’, teoria-aineistooni nojautuen. Aineistonani käytän Greenin kirjojen lisäksi hänen omia mielipiteitään, kommenttejaan ja vastauksiaan, joita hän on esittänyt lukuisissa blogeissaan. Pro graduni keskeisimpiä tuloksia on se, että naishahmot on esitetty eri tavalla

  • Mil Veces Hasta Siempre Para Henry Y Alice El Hombre Puede Hacer Lo Que Quiera, Pero No Puede Querer Lo Que Quiera
    Cortesía de LibreríaPDF Encontrá muchos más libros en: www.libreriapdf.com JOHN GREEN Mil veces hasta siempre Para Henry y Alice El hombre puede hacer lo que quiera, pero no puede querer lo que quiera. ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER 1 La primera vez que caí en la cuenta de que yo podría ser un personaje de ficción, asistía de lunes a viernes a un centro público del norte de Indianápolis llamado White River High School, en el que fuerzas muy superiores a mí que no podía siquiera empezar a identificar me exigían comer a una hora concreta: entre las 12:37 y las 13:14. Si esas fuerzas me hubieran asignado un horario de comida diferente, o si los compañeros de mesa que ayudaban a escribir mi destino hubieran elegido otro tema de conversación aquel día de septiembre, yo habría tenido un final diferente, o al menos un nudo narrativo diferente. Pero empezaba a descubrir que tu vida es una historia que cuentan sobre ti, no una historia que cuentas tú. Crees que eres el autor, por supuesto. Tienes que serlo. Cuando el monótono timbre suena a las 12:37, piensas: «Ahora decido ir a comer». Pero en realidad el que decide es el timbre. Crees que eres el pintor, pero eres el cuadro. En la cafetería, cientos de gritos se superponían, de modo que la conversación se convirtió en un mero sonido, en el rumor de un río avanzando sobre las piedras. Y mientras me sentaba debajo de fluorescentes cilíndricos que escupían una agresiva luz artificial, pensaba que todos nos creíamos protagonistas de alguna epopeya personal, cuando en realidad éramos básicamente organismos idénticos colonizando una sala enorme sin ventanas que olía a desinfectante y a grasa.

  • 4 Insights from Youtubers at Brandcast Australia
    4 insights from YouTubers at Brandcast Australia Published Today, there are 65 Aussie YouTubers with more Semptember 2017 than 1M subscribers. These popular creators reach huge audiences of engaged, attentive viewers— and they’re gaining fans every day. Check out what YouTube’s biggest stars had to say (and sing) at Brandcast Australia 2017. ouTube creators aren’t just vloggers; they’re empowered activists, passionate entertainers, talented businesspeople, and fierce Y fashionistas. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. At this year’s Brandcast in Melbourne and Sydney, we witnessed the creative power of these internet-famous trendsetters firsthand—power that ranges from changing and shaping culture to influencing and shifting brand perception. Keep reading for four important insights from Vlogbrothers’ Hank Green, Creators for Change ambassador L-FRESH The LION, beauty vlogger Wengie, and musician Mike Tompkins at Brandcast Australia 2017: 1. Creators are clearing a new path For many YouTubers, what started as a fun side project is now a full-time gig. More and more of the platform’s biggest names are launching their own production companies and hiring other digital natives just like them. And they’re creating an economic ecosystem that doesn’t necessarily rely on advertising. Instead, they’re using apps, subscription services, and crowdfunding—even writing books and licensing their content—to bring their online video passion projects to life. thinkwithgoogle.com.au 2 Hank Green, host of the popular YouTube channels Vlogbrothers and SciShow, went from creating a video blog with his brother to interviewing President Barack Obama in less than 10 years.

  • Burek Pierce, Jennifer
    Vlogbrothers and the Vade Mecum: Guiding Young Readers' Participation in Civic Culture Best-selling Indianapolis novelist John Green, with his brother Hank, created the Vlogbrothers YouTube channel in 2007. Their online exchanges attracted a following of those who enjoyed young adult novels and nerdy, off-beat humor. Over time, the community of readers and viewers came to be one invested not just in literature but in civic and civil culture. The guidance for that participation in civic culture and community improvement is a thread that runs through both Vlogbrothers videos and the novels. In this essay, I argue that the novels of John Green represent more than engaging and skillful narratives; the actions and viewpoints of his characters offer ideas about how to live and conduct oneself in contemporary society. The Fault in Our Stars, for example, opposes the life philosophies of Augustus Waters, who aspires to great and memorable actions that resonate broadly, while Hazel Grace Lancaster, who argues that the most important impact a person has is on his or her immediate circle. Other novels, like Paper Towns, call for us to understand one another’s humanity, regardless of the image a person projects or appearances. Nerdfighteria’s mantra of “Don’t forget to be awesome,” a call to be kind and do well in the world, also embodies these tenets. Further documents, like John Green’s “Imagine Others Complexly” essay that has been suggested for inclusion in Wikipedia’s civility essays, and Hank Green’s “How to Vote” videos, encourage readers and viewers to carry their actions and attitudes from page and screen into the world.

    TVNXXX10.1177/1527476416644977Television & New MediaJohnston 644977research-article2016 Article Television & New Media 1 –17 Subscribing to Sex © The Author(s) 2016 Reprints and permissions: Edutainment: Sex Education, sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1527476416644977 Online Video, and the tvn.sagepub.com YouTube Star Jessica Johnston1 Abstract Although abstinence-only programs in the United States have historically failed to provide medically accurate information on sexual health, young people in the twenty- first century have turned to YouTube to answer their sex questions. The accessible and engaging format of the YouTube video has helped some sex educators achieve Internet fame among a mass audience of users devoted to watching their web series and interacting with them on social media. Using two sex education channels (Laci Green’s Sex Plus and Lindsey Doe’s Sexplanations) as case studies, this article investigates the ways in which YouTube stardom shapes the production of and engagement with online sex education videos. In doing so, the article uncovers how Internet fame helps to create a brand of sex education salient to audiences across media platforms that rely on the illusion of face-to-face interaction, the development of an authoritative yet approachable identity, and the cultivation of a virtual community. Keywords YouTube, celebrity, education, entertainment, audience, new media, sexuality Introduction Sitting against a tree in a San Francisco park, YouTube star Laci Green discusses how to achieve the perfect orgasm.

  • The Teen Whisperer How the Author of “The Fault in Our Stars” Built an Ardent Army of Fans
    Profiles The Teen Whisperer How the author of “The Fault in Our Stars” built an ardent army of fans. By Margaret Talbot The New Yorker, June 2, 2014 https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/06/09/the-teen-whisperer Green wanted to write “an unsentimental cancer novel” that offered “some basis for hope.” In late 2006, the writer John Green came up with the idea of communicating with his brother, Hank, for a year solely through videos posted to YouTube. The project wasn’t quite as extreme as it sounds. John, who was then twenty-nine, and Hank, who was three years younger, saw each other about once a year, at their parents’ house, and they typically went several years between phone calls. They communicated mainly through instant messaging. Hank was living in Missoula, where he’d started a Web site about green technology. John was living on the Upper West Side while his wife, Sarah Urist Green, completed a graduate degree in art history at Columbia. He had published two young-adult novels, “Looking for Alaska,” in 2005, and “An Abundance of Katherines,” in 2006, and was working on a third. Like the best realistic Y.A. books, and like “The Catcher in the Rye”— a novel that today would almost certainly be marketed as Y.A.—Green’s books were narrated in a clever, confiding voice. His protagonists were sweetly intellectual teen-age boys smitten with complicated, charismatic girls. Although the books were funny, their story lines propelled by spontaneous road trips and outrageous pranks, they displayed a youthfully insatiable appetite for big questions: What is an honorable life? How do we wrest meaning from the unexpected death of someone close to us? What do we do when we realize that we’re not as special as we thought we were? Green was more forgiving toward adults than Salinger was, but he shared Salinger’s conviction that they underestimate the emotional depth of adolescents.

  • Turtles All the Way Down J OHN G REEN
    Novel•Ties Turtles All the Way Down J OHN G REEN A Study Guide Written By Joyce Friedland Edited by Joyce Friedland and Rikki Kessler LEARNING LINKS P.O. Box 326 • Cranbury • New Jersey 08512 TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN For the Teacher This reproducible study guide consists of lessons to use in conjunction with the book Turtles All the Way Down. Written in chapter-by-chapter format, the guide contains a synopsis, pre-reading activities, vocabulary and comprehension exercises, and extension activities to be used as follow-up to the novel. In a homogeneous classroom, whole class instruction with one title is appropriate. In a heterogeneous classroom, reading groups should be formed: each group works on a different book at its reading level. Depending upon the length of time devoted to reading in the classroom, each book, with its guide and accompanying lessons, may be completed in three to six weeks. Begin using NOVEL-TIES for guided reading by distributing the book and a folder to each student. Distribute duplicated pages of the study guide for students to place in their folders. After examining the cover and glancing through the book, students can participate in several pre-reading activities. Vocabulary questions should be considered prior to reading a chapter or group of chapters; all other work should be done after the chapter has been read. Comprehension questions can be answered orally or in writing. The classroom teacher should determine the amount of work to be assigned, always keeping in mind that readers must be nurtured and that the ultimate goal is encouraging students’ love of reading.
