  • From Disney to Disaster: the Disney Corporation’S Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks
    From Disney to Disaster: The Disney Corporation’s Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks BY Kelsey N. Reese Spring 2021 WMNST 492W: Senior Capstone Seminar Dr. Jill Wood Reese 2 INTRODUCTION The popularized phrase “celebrity trainwreck” has taken off in the last ten years, and the phrase actively evokes specified images (Doyle, 2017). These images usually depict young women hounded by paparazzi cameras that are most likely drunk or high and half naked after a wild night of partying (Doyle, 2017). These girls then become the emblem of celebrity, bad girl femininity (Doyle, 2017; Kiefer, 2016). The trainwreck is always a woman and is usually subject to extra attention in the limelight (Doyle, 2017). Trainwrecks are in demand; almost everything they do becomes front page news, especially if their actions are seen as scandalous, defamatory, or insane. The exponential growth of the internet in the early 2000s created new avenues of interest in celebrity life, including that of social media, gossip blogs, online tabloids, and collections of paparazzi snapshots (Hamad & Taylor, 2015; Mercer, 2013). What resulted was 24/7 media access into the trainwreck’s life and their long line of outrageous, commiserable actions (Doyle, 2017). Kristy Fairclough coined the term trainwreck in 2008 as a way to describe young, wild female celebrities who exemplify the ‘good girl gone bad’ image (Fairclough, 2008; Goodin-Smith, 2014). While the coining of the term is rather recent, the trainwreck image itself is not; in their book titled Trainwreck, Jude Ellison Doyle postulates that the trainwreck classification dates back to feminism’s first wave with Mary Wollstonecraft (Anand, 2018; Doyle, 2017).

Regardless of the social and familial effects of this phenomenon, some men still prac- tice it and some women agree with it. But it remains con- troversial, and many women and men do not support the idea, although its debate is provocative for women and exciting for men! Polygamy raises the question: Can a married man who remarries be truly equitable and just to all his wives? Is he ever thinking of their welfare or only aiming to satisfy his desires? This article seeks to shed light over this case based on two incidents. Newspapers recently published a report A popular mural in Souq Al-Mubarakiya in Kuwait City. — Photo by Jaber Abdukhaleq / KUNA from Saudi Arabia that police arrested a woman who poured boiling oil on her husband after he married anoth- er woman.

  • Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Financial Report and Shareholder Letter
    Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Financial Report And Shareholder Letter January 2012 Dear Shareholders, Fiscal 2011 was a year of great accomplishment for The Walt Disney Company, marked by creativity and innovation across our businesses globally, record financial results and numerous important steps to position the Company for the future. While 2011 brought us so much to cheer about, it was also marked by profound loss, with the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve’s incredible stewardship of Pixar, and his decision to sell Pixar to Disney in 2006, brought Steve into the Disney family, as a board member, a shareholder, a mentor, and a friend, and we were so lucky for all that he represented and all that he contributed. Disney, ESPN, ABC, Pixar, and Marvel are an amazing collection of brands that grow stronger every day as new platforms and new markets provide enormous new opportunities for high quality content and experiences. To that end, we are fortunate to have a talented group of employees who are committed day in and day out to building our brands around the world. Since becoming President and CEO in 2005, I have focused on three strategic priorities: creating high-quality family content, making experiences more memorable and accessible through innovative technology, and growing internationally. In fiscal 2011, net income attributable to Disney was a record $4.8 billion, an increase of 21% over last year, and revenue was a record $40.9 billion, up 7% from last year. Diluted earnings per share increased by 24% to a record $2.52. I’m particularly gratified by our outstanding performance in fiscal 2011, given the challenging global economic environment.

  • Convergent Sport Culture: Mediating the Game Lindsay H
    Convergent Sport Culture: Mediating the Game Lindsay H. Garrison X Games, Next X, and X-clusives: Negotiating Brand Equity in Disney’s Wide World of “Action Sports” While we often think of “convergence” primarily as a characteristic of our current media landscape, it’s important to note that sport is really one place where convergence has long been at work. From the sports arena to radio, television, and print coverage to stats, cards, and collectibles, transmedia engagement is nothing new to sports teams, fans and audiences. In this current climate of corporate conglomeration (not only in the media, but a wide variety of industrial sectors), the passionate, multi-platform practice of sports culture is of particular significance in regards to cross-promotion, content repurposing, and other strategies that can maximize efficiencies across an integrated company. However, the relationship between sport, industry, and audiences isn’t always so easy. I want to look at one example where a particular sports culture becomes a key site for understanding the advantages and limitations of conglomeration in the tensions between segmentation, subsidiaries, and a coherent corporate brand. The Walt Disney Co., a company some might call the king of synergy, turned to sports as a major part of the company’s expansion strategy of the 1990s; along with taking majority ownership in ESPN as a result of its 1996 acquisition of Capital Cities/ABC, Disney also added the extensive event-ready Wide World of Sports complex to its Orlando resort in 1997. In the same decade, Disney founded/purchased two professional sports franchises -the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in 1993 and the Anaheim Angels in 1997, both of which were tied heavily to Disney feature films, the California-based Disney theme parks, and the corporate Disney brand.
