  • Cross-Promotion, Self-Promotion Effects in News Media
    The McMaster Journal of Communication Volume 8, 10th Anniversary Edition 2013 Cross-Promotion, Self-Promotion Effects in News Media Christopher Terry McMaster University Copyright © 2013 by the authors. The McMaster Journal of Communication is produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). http://digitalcommons.mcmaster.ca/mjc Cross-Promotion, Self-Promotion Effects in News Media Christopher Terry Abstract In this paper, the use of self-promotion and cross-promotion in news media is examined through a study of Canadian media giant, Bell Media’s CTV News multi-platform news operation. Through a content analysis of four CTV News platforms; conventional television, specialty television, their website and mobile application, a pattern of promotional use emerges. This pattern, which I refer to as ‘herding,’ is designed to influence viewers to shift their viewing patterns towards more lucrative areas where advertising is more valued by the media owner. There are also concerns by media experts that promotions combined with advertising have a direct effect of diminishing the quantity of news available on these platforms thereby reducing the public’s ability to be informed about issues of the day. Keywords: self-promotion, cross-promotion, advertising fragmentation, news media, Bell Media, CTV News 8 The McMaster Journal of Communication Fall 2013 Volume 8, 10th Anniversary Edition Cross-Promotion, Self-Promotion Effects in News Media Christopher Terry McMaster University Introduction ith the growth of media concentration of ownership and with the emergence of new platforms, traditional news media organizations such as television now run parallel W operations on at least two digital media platforms such as mobile apps and websites.

  • Queer(Y)Ing Quaintness: Destabilizing Atlantic Canadian Identity Through Its Theatre
    QUEER(Y)ING QUAINTNESS: DESTABILIZING ATLANTIC CANADIAN IDENTITY THROUGH ITS THEATRE LUKE BROWN Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in Theatre Theory & Dramaturgy Department of Theatre Faculty of Graduate Studies University of Ottawa © Luke Brown, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 Brown ii Abstract The Atlantic Canadian provinces (Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia) have long been associated with agricultural romanticism. Economically and culturally entrenched in a stereotype of quaintness (Anne of Green Gables is just one of many examples), the region continuously falls into a cycle of inferiority. In this thesis, I argue that queer theory can be infused into performance analysis to better situate local theatre practice as a site of mobilization. Using terms and concepts from queer geographers and other scholars, particularly those who address capitalism (Gibson-Graham, Massey), this research outlines a methodology of performance analysis that looks through a queer lens in order to destabilize normative assumptions about Atlantic Canada. Three contemporary performances are studied in detail: Christian Barry, Ben Caplan, and Hannah Moscovitch's Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story, Ryan Griffith's The Boat, and Xavier Gould‘s digital personality ―Jass-Sainte Bourque‖. Combining Ric Knowles' "dramaturgy of the perverse" (The Theatre of Form 1999) with Sara Ahmed's "queer phenomenology" (Queer Phenomenology 2006) allows for a thorough queer analysis of these three performances. I argue that such an approach positions new Atlantic Canadian performances and dramaturgies as sites of aesthetic and semantic disorientation. Building on Jill Dolan's "utopian performatives" (Utopia in Performance 2005), wherein the audiences experience a collective "lifting above" of normative dramaturgical structures, my use of "queer phenomenology" fosters a plurality of unique perspectives.

Shootings were frequent and often flagrant, taking place in broad daylight and near children’s playgrounds. The numbers were so high it had people worried that gun deaths in 2018 would surpass that of the so-called “Summer of the Gun” back in 2005. Police, politicians, social advocates and residents all made suggestions on what was needed to decrease the gun violence. But the solutions remain as contentious as the problem.

  • GSK-3Β in Mouse Fibroblasts Controls Wound
    Research article GSK-3β in mouse fibroblasts controls wound healing and fibrosis through an endothelin-1– dependent mechanism Mohit Kapoor,1 Shangxi Liu,1 Xu Shi-wen,2 Kun Huh,1 Matthew McCann,1 Christopher P. Denton,2 James R. Woodgett,3 David J. Abraham,2 and Andrew Leask1 1Division of Oral Biology and Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada. 2Centre for Rheumatology, University College London, London, United Kingdom. 3Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Glycogen synthase kinase–3 (GSK-3) is a widely expressed and highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase encoded by 2 genes, GSK3A and GSK3B. GSK-3 is thought to be involved in tissue repair and fibrogen- esis, but its role in these processes is currently unknown. To investigate the function of GSK-3β in fibroblasts, we generated mice harboring a fibroblast-specific deletion of Gsk3b and evaluated their wound-healing and fibrogenic responses. We have shown that Gsk3b-conditional-KO mice (Gsk3b-CKO mice) exhibited accelerated wound closure, increased fibrogenesis, and excessive scarring compared with control mice. In addition, Gsk3b- CKO mice showed elevated collagen production, decreased cell apoptosis, elevated levels of profibrotic α-SMA, and increased myofibroblast formation during wound healing. In cultured Gsk3b-CKO fibroblasts, adhesion, spreading, migration, and contraction were enhanced. Both Gsk3b-CKO mice and fibroblasts showed elevated expression and production of endothelin-1 (ET-1) compared with control mice and cells. Antagonizing ET-1 reversed the phenotype of Gsk3b-CKO fibroblasts and mice. Thus, GSK-3β appears to control the progression of wound healing and fibrosis by modulating ET-1 levels.

  • The Presbyterian Church in Taiwan and the Advocacy of Local Autonomy
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 92 January, 1999 The Presbyterian Church in Taiwan and the Advocacy of Local Autonomy by Christine Louise Lin Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. The only style-sheet we honor is that of consistency. Where possible, we prefer the usages of the Journal of Asian Studies. Sinographs (hanzi, also called tetragraphs [fangkuaizi]) and other unusual symbols should be kept to an absolute minimum. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.
