  • Vlogging the Museum: Youtube As a Tool for Audience Engagement
    Vlogging the Museum: YouTube as a tool for audience engagement Amanda Dearolph A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2014 Committee: Kris Morrissey Scott Magelssen Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Museology ©Copyright 2014 Amanda Dearolph Abstract Vlogging the Museum: YouTube as a tool for audience engagement Amanda Dearolph Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Kris Morrissey, Director Museology Each month more than a billion individual users visit YouTube watching over 6 billion hours of video, giving this platform access to more people than most cable networks. The goal of this study is to describe how museums are taking advantage of YouTube as a tool for audience engagement. Three museum YouTube channels were chosen for analysis: the San Francisco Zoo, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Field Museum of Natural History. To be included the channel had to create content specifically for YouTube and they were chosen to represent a variety of institutions. Using these three case studies this research focuses on describing the content in terms of its subject matter and alignment with the common practices of YouTube as well as analyzing the level of engagement of these channels achieved based on a series of key performance indicators. This was accomplished with a statistical and content analysis of each channels’ five most viewed videos. The research suggests that content that follows the characteristics and culture of YouTube results in a higher number of views, subscriptions, likes, and comments indicating a higher level of engagement. This also results in a more stable and consistent viewership.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Youtube Channel
    CONTACT Brian Stemmler 323.401.6416 [email protected] https://youtube.com/makeeverythingtv FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE YouTube Channel “How to Make Everything” marks 1,000,000 Subscriber milestone by attempting to make a YouTube Play Button from scratch. https://youtu.be/M43lSCeQ8dU It started out as a personal challenge. Then it turned into a documentary. Then a local TV Series...Now, seven years later, “How to Make Everything” seems to have found its niche on YouTube. Since launching on the platform in 2015, the Channel recently passed the 1 million Subscriber mark. The show follows Andy George, Creator and Host of "How to Make Everything", as he makes everything from a sandwich to a suit, tools and even a root beer float from scratch...literally. "This is not a 'How To' show. The show is meant to reveal how complicated it is to make every day items we take for granted, once you strip away the manufacturing and distribution networks which are the backbone of our modern lifestyle" Andy says about his show. "I am by no means an expert in any of the activities I pursue in the series, so the entertainment factor comes in seeing me struggle and sometimes epically fail at my tasks". For example, the premiere episode covers Andy making a sandwich from scratch. This involved growing the wheat to make the bread, sunflowers to make oil for mayonnaise, cucumbers for pickles, lettuce and tomatoes. For salt, Andy had to travel to the Pacific Ocean to gather sea water, which he boiled down. He collected eggs and milk from a farm for mayonnaise and cheese.

  • “Decreasing World Suck”
    Dz dzǣ Fan Communities, Mechanisms of Translation, and Participatory Politics Neta Kligler-Vilenchik A Case Study Report Working Paper Media, Activism and Participatory Politics Project AnnenBerg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California June 24, 2013 Executive Summary This report describes the mechani sms of translation through which participatory culture communities extend PHPEHUV¶cultural connections toward civic and political outcomes. The report asks: What mechanisms do groups use to translate cultural interests into political outcomes? What are challenges and obstacles to this translation? May some mechanisms be more conducive towards some participatory political outcomes than others? The report addresses these questions through a comparison between two groups: the Harry Potter Alliance and the Nerdfighters. The Harry Potter Alliance is a civic organization with a strong online component which runs campaigns around human rights issues, often in partnership with other advocacy and nonprofit groups; its membership skews college age and above. Nerdfighters are an informal community formed around a YouTube vlog channel; many of the pDUWLFLSDQWVDUHKLJKVFKRRODJHXQLWHGE\DFRPPRQJRDORI³GHFUHDVLQJZRUOGVXFN.´ These two groups have substantial overlapping membership, yet they differ in their strengths and challenges in terms of forging participatory politics around shared cultural interests. The report discusses three mechanisms that enable such translation: 1. Tapping content worlds and communities ± Scaffolding the connections that group members have through their shared passions for popular culture texts and their relationships with each other toward the development of civic identities and political agendas. 2. Creative production ± Encouraging production and circulation of content, especially for political expression. 3. Informal discussion ± Creating and supporting spaces and opportunities for conversations about current events and political issues.

  • Youtube Marketing: Legality of Sponsorship and Endorsement in Advertising Katrina Wu, University of San Diego
    From the SelectedWorks of Katrina Wu Spring 2016 YouTube Marketing: Legality of Sponsorship and Endorsement in Advertising Katrina Wu, University of San Diego Available at: http://works.bepress.com/katrina_wu/2/ YOUTUBE MARKETING: LEGALITY OF SPONSORSHIP AND ENDORSEMENTS IN ADVERTISING Katrina Wua1 Abstract YouTube endorsement marketing, sometimes referred to as native advertising, is a form of marketing where advertisements are seamlessly incorporated into the video content unlike traditional commercials. This paper categorizes YouTube endorsement marketing into three forms: (1) direct sponsorship where the content creator partners with the sponsor to create videos, (2) affiliated links where the content creator gets a commission resulting from purchases attributable to the content creator, and (3) free product sampling where products are sent to content creators for free to be featured in a video. Examples in each of the three forms of YouTube marketing can be observed across virtually all genres of video, such as beauty/fashion, gaming, culinary, and comedy. There are four major stakeholder interests at play—the YouTube content creators, viewers, YouTube, and the companies—and a close examination upon the interplay of these interests supports this paper’s argument that YouTube marketing is trending and effective but urgently needs transparency. The effectiveness of YouTube marketing is demonstrated through a hypothetical example in the paper involving a cosmetics company providing free product sampling for a YouTube content creator. Calculations in the hypothetical example show impressive return on investment for such marketing maneuver. Companies and YouTube content creators are subject to disclosure requirements under Federal law if the content is an endorsement as defined by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”).

  • How's It Going Bros: Pewdiepie's Memeing in Tertiary Orality
    HOW’S IT GOING BROS: PEWDIEPIE’S MEMEING IN TERTIARY ORALITY by TRAVIS BROWN (Under the Direction of Shira Chess) ABSTRACT PewDiePie, the most subscribed YouTuber with 61 million subscribers, became a controversial figure in 2017 after cases of hate speech in his videos. While his hate speech has obvious room for exploration, it is impossible to examine his hate speech without first analyzing the creation of his memetic language within the broader digital culture in which he exists and how users within that digital culture adopt his language. This thesis explores the development of orality in digital culture, placing PewDiePie in the middle of the tertiary orality and meme culture. Upon analysis of PewDiePie’s videos and the language adopted by his audience, I conclude PewDiePie’s intent for his speech does not matter, as propagators of hate speech interpellated that they are the subject of his speech. INDEX WORDS: orality; tertiary orality; digital culture; participatory culture; memetics; internet memes; ambivalent internet; interpellation; YouTube; PewDiePie HOW’S IT GOING BROS: PEWDIEPIE’S MEMEING IN TERTIARY ORALITY by TRAVIS BROWN A.B.J., The University of Georgia, 2016 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2018 © 2018 Travis Brown All Rights Reserved HOW’S IT GOING BROS: PEWDIEPIE’S MEMEING IN TERTIARY ORALITY by TRAVIS BROWN Major Professor: Shira Chess Committee: Itai Himelboim Jay Hamilton Electronic Version Approved: Suzanne Barbour Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia May 2018 DEDICATION To Mom, for instilling in me my love for learning; And Elizabeth, for keeping me sane while I do so.

  • Best Youtubers for Teaching English
    Adding a Spark to ESL Homework With YouTubers by Hall Houston In my classes, I frequently design homework involving short videos produced by a new tribe of celebrities known as YouTubers. I find this generally appeals to students more than traditional homework assignments, as watching short videos on YouTube is already a well-loved activity among university students. What is a YouTuber? According to Wikipedia, a YouTuber is “a type of internet celebrity and videographer who has gained popularity from their videos on the video-sharing website, YouTube.” Though YouTubers (also known as YouTube personalities or YouTube celebrities), all produce videos, the content of these videos varies greatly. Some, such as the glamorous Michelle Phan, deliver beauty tips. Others, such as Smosh (a duo consisting of Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla) make videos of their own comedic skits. To millennials, YouTubers such as PewDewPie and Ryan Higa are equally as popular as world-famous singers and actors. (For more information about popular YouTubers, see Dredge, 2016, and Stone, 2015.) Though these YouTubers’ videos could certainly help students learn English, I tend to use videos especially produced for English language learners. Now, I will briefly introduce some of the best YouTubers who consistently produce high-quality, enjoyable videos for ESL/EFL students. Best YouTubers for Teaching English English with Lucy A charming and eloquent YouTuber from the United Kingdom, Lucy has been making videos for English learners since 2016. She has more than 120 videos on her channel with videos covering grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Her videos include a lot of wit and humor, so it’s no surprise that she has more than a million subscribers.
