Today, traditional media still holds significant power, but the number of influencers out there has shot up exponentially with the explosion of social media in general and YouTube in particular. While the world’s largest video service might be under fire over its (low) royalty rates, the music industry is well aware that its biggest stars offer a direct route to the exact audiences they want their music to reach.

Most consumers do not ponder questions such as “Who owns the content in my video?” or “What is a fair use?” or “Did I obtain the proper permission to use Bruno Mars’s latest single as the backing track to my video?” These are important questions of law that are answered each day on YouTube1 by a system called Content ID.2 Content ID identifies uses of audio and visual works uploaded to YouTube3 and allows rights holders to collect advertising revenue on that content through the YouTube Partner Program.4 It is easy to see why Content ID was implemented—300 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube per minute.5 Over six billion hours of video are watched each month on YouTube (almost an hour for every person on earth),6 and it is unquestionably the most popular streaming video site on the Internet.7 Because of the staggering amount of content 1 See A Guide to YouTube Removals,ELECTRONIC fRONTIER fOUND., https://www.eff.org/issues/intellectual-property/guide-to-youtube-removals [http://perma.cc/ BF4Y-PW6E] (last visited June 6, 2016).

In a research note musing, “there’s something happening here,”Nomura analyst Michael Nathanson provided some color about a well known yet nettlesome industry seachange that’s highlighted each year by all the gadgets on display at CES: the rapid decline of live TV viewership. “Thanks to either the continued impact of the DVR, shifts in the Nielsen sample, the NBA strike or slight changes in consumption patterns, live primetime TV viewership declined almost -5% [in 4Q]–now 13 straight quarters of live declines,” said Nathanson. Duh, you say? Such utterers likely wouldn’t be moved by Nathanson’s claim that cable’s live ratings (-5%) fell more than broadcast’s (-3%) in the quarter either—a slew of cable originals count more than 40% time-shifted viewership—but that hasn’t happened in 5 quarters and perhaps more importantly, broadcast C3 viewing rose 0.3% while cable’s dipped 1.1%.

    http//:daathvoyagejournal.com Editor: Saikat Banerjee Department of English Dr. K.N. Modi University, Newai, Rajasthan, India. : An International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in English ISSN 2455-7544 www.daathvoyagejournal.com Vol.2, No.1, March, 2017 A Journey: From Nostohnirh to Charulata Shubhendu Shekhar Naskar Assistant Professor Department of English Basirhat College Email- [email protected] Abstract: Rabindranath Tagore and Satyajit Ray are two high-flying names in the sky of art, culture and literature. They have glorified Bengal as well as India in the sphere of whole universe. Tagore wrote many legendary novels which were later taken as the scripts of Indian films. Such an epoch making novel of Tagore was Nostonirh (The Broken Nest) which was transformed into a film in the hand of renowned director, Satyajit Ray. Ray not only took the story, he also mixed the plot with his imagination. This compilation leads the novel to become almost a similar famous film in Bengali, ‘Charulata’. My article will try to highlight this artistic approach of Ray along with his adoption of the novel. Key words: Tagore, Ray, Nostonirh, Charulata, Bhupati, Amal. Rabindranath Tagore's stories exemplify his remarkable abilities to enter into the complexities of human relationships profoundly. Within the seemingly simple plots, he could explore the psychological aspects of his characters properly. They seem to be the true representatives of their time. As a result they bring out the sociological aspects of the then Bengali society. In his highly acclaimed novel Nostonirh (The Broken Nest), Tagore simply portrays with extraordinary compassion and lyricism the predicament of women in traditional Bengali contexts, through the loneliness of an intelligent, beautiful woman who is neglected by her husband.

  • Youtube's Recommendation System and the 2019 Canadian Federal
    UP NEXT: YouTube’s Recommendation System and the 2019 Canadian Federal Election by Daniel Cockcroft A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Library and Information Studies Digital Humanities and School of Library and Information Studies University of Alberta © Daniel Cockcroft, 2020 ABSTRACT In the months leading up to the 2016 election in the United States, YouTube’s recommendation algorithm decidedly favored pro-Trump videos, fake news and conspiracy theories. In this thesis, I question whether such bias is present in the context of the 2019 federal election in Canada. To do so, I make use of open-source software to gather recommendation data related to three of the candidates: Conservative Party of Canada leader Andrew Scheer, New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh, and Liberal Party of Canada leader Justin Trudeau. Using the same data, I will also study the media bias and factual accuracy of the sources recommended. My results show that YouTube’s recommender system is susceptible to influence by audiences and shows bias towards Andrew Scheer and against Justin Trudeau. Given my results and evidence provided by other researchers, this study stresses the need for ethical algorithm design, including proactive approaches for increased transparency, regulatory oversight, and increased public awareness. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to extend a big thank you to my supervisory committee, Tami, Astrid, and Harvey for keeping me inspired and asking the right questions. Your countless hours of work have not gone unnoticed, and through your efforts you’ve made me a better researcher and writer.
