With the steps we’ve taken over the last year, Time Warner is now a leaner and more tightly focused company. Our content businesses are leaders in each of their industries. More importantly, we have the scale, brands and talent to extend our lead in an increasingly digital and global landscape. We’ve also strengthened our balance sheet, which allows us – even in these diffificult times – to invest in our businesses and maximize value for our stockholders. By spinning off Time Warner Cable in early 2009, we’ve become a more integrated content company – with television and fi lm production at Warner Bros., cable television networks at Turner and HBO, and publishing at Time Inc. We’ve also streamlined our operations in the past year. We combined the operations of our New Line and Warner Bros. film studios, launched the most extensive reorganization in Time Inc.’s history, and trimmed over 15% of corporate expenses – for a total annual run rate of more than $400 million in cost savings. At AOL, we recently brought in a new management team with impressive experience in online advertising, and we’re working hard to determine the best structure for AOL’s businesses. We plan to build on the success of our businesses by continuing to produce the most compelling content for consumers worldwide. Last year, Warner Bros. released the second-highest-grossing film ever domestically with The Dark Knight, which helped our studios achieve the top spot at the U.S. and international box offifice. At our networks, CNN provided innovative election coverage that outperformed the broadcast networks and earned a prestigious Peabody Award. TNT and TBS featured such original Above: (Clockwise from top) The Closer/Entourage/Two and a Half Men/ Watchmen/LEGO Batman: The Videogame/Quién Opposite: CNNMoney.com/MediaGlow/CNN.com programming as The Closerr, Saving Grace and Tyler Perry’s House of Payne – solidifying their ratings lead among advertising-supported cable networks. HBO not only led all other networks with 26 Primetime Emmy Awards, but also put a record number of pilots into development. Reflfl ecting the quality of its content, Time Inc. grew its readership and extended its preeminence in publishing. This year, our company will keep providing high-quality content – whether Warner Bros.’ release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, HBO’s The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agencyy or TNT’s HawthoRNe. At the same time, we’re transitioning our businesses to take advantage of digital technologies. For example, we’re spearheading an industry campaign – TV Everywhere – to provide consumers easier access to more television programs online, whenever and wherever they want them, through their cable or satellite subscriptions. This will give consumers more value for their money while enabling the industry to build on its current business models. Meanwhile, our businesses continued to lead their industries in the digital arena in 2008 – with CNN’s online and mobile services beating all competitors, Time Inc.’s network of sites ranking among the top 20 most-visited Internet properties, and Warner Bros. ranking number one in the fast-growing Blu-ray Disc and video-on-demand formats domestically. Developing original content aimed at international audiences is another major focus for us. In India this year, Turner Broadcasting and Warner Bros. jointly launched an English-language channel, WB, while Turner introduced a new Hindi-language pay-TV channel, REAL. We recently announced agreements to acquire a significant stake in Central European Media Enterprises (CME), a leading television broadcaster in Central and Eastern Europe, and for Warner Bros. to partner with CME to develop television channels across the region.

We continue to strengthen our balance sheet, including receiving $9.25 billion in a March 2009 cash dividend from Time Warner Cable as part of the separation of the two companies. This payment, coupled with the robust free cash fl ow generated by our businesses, puts Time Warner in the enviable position of being able to do a number of things at once – increase investments in our businesses, reduce our level of debt, and return value directly to our stockholders through dividends and stock repurchases. In fact, even after the spin-off of Time Warner Cable, we have maintained the same quarterly cash dividend per share, which increased the effective payout for our stockholders. We’ll also look to restart our stock buyback under our currently authorized program when we can. While these are extraordinarily challenging times, I have great confifidence that Time Warner will emerge in an even stronger competitive position. I’m especially grateful to our employees – the talented people of Time Warner – who do such an exceptional job managing our businesses and bringing entertainment and news to the world. On their behalf, I thank you for your continued support. JEFF BEWKES Chairman and CEO April 8, 2009 BOARD OF DIRECTORS & MANAGEMENT TIME WARNER BOARD OF DIRECTORS Jeffrey L. Bewkes Robert C.

  • Are You What You Watch?
    Are You What You Watch?

The Lear Center translates its findings into action through testimony, journalism, strategic research and innovative public outreach campaigns. Through scholarship and research; through its conferences, public events and publications; and in its attempts to illuminate and repair the world, the Lear Center works to be at the forefront of discussion and practice in the field. futurePerfect Lab is a creative services agency and think tank exclusively for non-profits, cultural and educational institutions. We harness the power of pop culture for social good. We work in creative partnership with non-profits to engineer their social messages for mass appeal. Using integrated media strategies informed by neuroscience, we design playful experiences and participatory tools that provoke audiences and amplify our clients’ vision for a better future. At the Lear Center’s Media Impact Project, we study the impact of news and entertainment on viewers. Our goal is to prove that media matters, and to improve the quality of media to serve the public good. We partner with media makers and funders to create and conduct program evaluation, develop and test research hypotheses, and publish and promote thought leadership on the role of media in social change. Are You What You Watch? is made possible in part by support from the Pop Culture Collaborative, a philanthropic resource that uses grantmaking, convening, narrative strategy, and research to transform the narrative landscape around people of color, immigrants, refugees, Muslims and Native people – especially those who are women, queer, transgender and/or disabled.

  • To Make Claims About Or Even Adequately Understand the "True Nature" of Organizations Or Leadership Is a Monumental Task
    BooK REvrnw: HERE CoMES EVERYBODY: THE PowER OF ORGANIZING WITHOUT ORGANIZATIONS (Clay Shirky, Penguin Press, 2008. Hardback, $25.95] -CHRIS FRANCOVICH GONZAGA UNIVERSITY To make claims about or even adequately understand the "true nature" of organizations or leadership is a monumental task. To peer into the nature of the future of these complex phenomena is an even more daunting project. In this book, however, I think we have both a plausible interpretation of organ­ ization ( and by implication leadership) and a rare glimpse into what we are becoming by virtue of our information technology. We live in a complex, dynamic, and contingent environment whose very nature makes attributing cause and effect, meaning, or even useful generalizations very difficult. It is probably not too much to say that historically the ability to both access and frame information was held by the relatively few in a system and structure whose evolution is, in its own right, a compelling story. Clay Shirky is in the enviable position of inhabiting the domain of the technological elite, as well as being a participant and a pioneer in the social revolution that is occurring partly because of the technologies and tools invented by that elite. As information, communication, and organization have grown in scale, many of our scientific, administrative, and "leader-like" responses unfortu­ nately have remained the same. We find an analogous lack of appropriate response in many followers as evidenced by large group effects manifested through, for example, the response to advertising. However, even that herd­ like consumer behavior seems to be changing. Markets in every domain are fragmenting.

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.
