Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • The Death Penalty in 2013: Year End Report
    ! ! THE DEATH PENALTY IN 2013: YEAR END REPORT Media Coverage Summary ! DPIC’s 2013 Year End Report was released on December 19, 2013, receiving extraordinary coverage. Coverage of the report appeared in over 500 media outlets, and was notable in two important respects. First, there was an increase in the amount of news coverage and editorial board attention. Second, 2013 was the year the media reported and underscored our message that “[a] societal shift is underway,” as quoted in the New York Times. Coverage of the 2013 Year End Report included stories in the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, Time, CNN, Associated Press, Reuters and AFP, and in hundreds of other articles and editorials. Richard Dieter was interviewed on MSNBC-TV and C-SPAN’s Washington Journal. Stories also ran on NPR (two stories), CBS, ABC, NBC, and Associated Press Radio Networks. As an example of our use of new media, The Guardian (which now has web traffic inside the U.S. similar to the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times) hosted an online chat about the report with DPIC’s Executive Director. The theme of a fundamental change in the country was echoed widely. For example, newspapers in North Carolina carried DPIC’s observation that the decline of the death penalty was not a "one-year quirk … It's indicative of some broad changes in society.” This theme was reflected in New York Times and Washington Post editorials, as well as editorials in Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

Mass Media Bureau, acting pursuant to delegated authority, has before it for consideration the above-captioned applications seeking consent to the transfer of control of New World Communications Group Inc. (New World), and its subsidiaries from NWCG (Parent) Holdings Corp. and NWCG Holdings Corp. to Fox Television Stations. Inc. (Fox). Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and a Stock Purchase Agreement between the parties, New World will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fox. The National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians, the Broadcast and Broadcast Cable Television Sector of the Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO, Local No. 43 (NABET), timely filed a petition to deny the transaction. 2. New World, through several holding companies, wholly owns the stock of the licensees of the ten television stations and seven television translators referenced above. Fox controls the licenses of 12 television stations, including station WFLD(TV) (Fox), Channel 32, Chicago. Illinois. Because the Grade B contour of station WFLD(TV) overlaps with that of New World station WITI-TV (Fox), Channel 6, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, common ownership of both stations by Fox will contravene the Commission©s duopoly rule. Section 73.3555(b), which proscribes common ownership of two television stations with overlapping Grade B contours.

  • CBS 3 Anchors to Address YLD How It Relates to All Professional Services
    PHILADELPHIA ® March 2004 The Monthly Newspaper of the Philadelphia Bar Association Vol. 33, No. 3 Proposed Tax on Legal Services Opposed Chancellor Gabriel L.I. Bevilacqua has told the House Majority Policy Comm- ittee in Harrisburg that the Association opposes any effort to create a sales tax of any kind on legal services. In written testimony, Bevilacqua tagged the proposed tax a “misery tax” and said it would fall most heavily on consumers and small businesses. The Chancellor said such a tax would also impose “an unfair burden on the justice system.” His complete testimony follows: On behalf of the Philadelphia Bar Association and its 13,000 members, thank you for allowing me the opportu- Photo by Daniel A.

DEMUTH AND REBECCA E. MORSS National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado LEYSIA PALEN,KENNETH M. ANDERSON,JENNINGS ANDERSON,MARINA KOGAN, KEVIN STOWE, AND MELISSA BICA University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado HEATHER LAZRUS AND OLGA WILHELMI National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado JEN HENDERSON Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, Boulder, Colorado (Manuscript received 13 November 2017, in final form 14 May 2018) ABSTRACT This article investigates the dynamic ways that people communicate, assess, and respond as a weather threat evolves. It uses social media data, which offer unique records of what people convey about their real-world risk contexts. Twitter narratives from 53 people who were in a mandatory evacuation zone in a New York City neighborhood during Hurricane Sandy in 2012 were qualitatively analyzed. The study provides rich insight into the complex, dynamic information behaviors and risk assessments of people at risk, and it illustrates how social media data can be collected, sampled, and analyzed to help provide this understanding. Results show that this sample of people at significant risk attended to forecast information and evacuation orders as well as multiple types of social and environmental cues. Although many tweeted explicitly about the mandatory evacuation order, forecast information was usually referenced only implicitly. Social and environmental cues grew more important as the threat approached and often triggered heightened risk perceptions or protective actions.
