In addi- tion, the survey measured respondents’ attitudes toward HIV/AIDS, their knowledge on related issues concerning risk and transmission, and whether they have taken certain steps such as talking with a partner about HIV, visiting a health care provider, or being tested for HIV.

    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • The Value of Behavioral Targeting By
    The Value of Behavioral Targeting by Howard Beales1 This study seeks to provide an initial understanding of the effect of behaviorally targeted advertising on advertising rates and revenues. A survey of twelve ad networks was conducted to obtain quarterly data on pricing (CPM data), conversion rates, and revenues across various types of ad segments (run of network advertising and behavioral advertising). The survey results reveal three key findings: (1) Advertising rates are significantly higher for behaviorally targeted ads. The average CPM for behaviorally targeted advertising is just over twice the average CPM for run-of-network advertising. On average across participating networks, the price of behaviorally targeted advertising in 2009 was 2.68 times the price of run of network advertising. (2) Advertising using behavioral targeting is more successful than standard run of network advertising, creating greater utility for consumers from more relevant advertisements and clear appeal for advertisers from increased ad conversion. (3) Finally, a majority of network advertising revenue is spent acquiring inventory from publishers, making behavioral targeting an important source of revenue for online content and services providers as well as third party ad networks. This study was sponsored by the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI). The NAI is a coalition of more than 40 leading online marketing companies committed to building consumer awareness and reinforcing responsible business and data management practices and standards. For a description of the NAI and a list of its members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/index.asp (last visited Mar. 3, 2010). 1.
