Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk ‘Zoella hasn’t really written a book, she’s written a cheque’: Mainstream media representations of YouTube celebrities. Abstract In this paper, we present a thematic analysis of broadcast and print media representations of YouTube celebrity. Youth-oriented media have capitalised on the phenomenon, placing vloggers alongside actors and pop stars. However, in much adult-oriented mainstream media, YouTubers are presented as fraudulent, inauthentic, opportunist and talentless, making money from doing nothing. Key themes recur in coverage, including YouTubers’ presumed lack of talent and expertise, the alleged dangers they present and the argument that they are not ‘really famous’. YouTubers’ claims to fame are thus simultaneously legitimised by giving them coverage and delegitimised within said coverage, echoing media treatment of other ‘amateur’ celebrities such as reality stars and citizen journalists.

  • Celebrification and the Youtuber Zoella Jerslev, Anne
    In The Time of the Microcelebrity Celebrification and the YouTuber Zoella Jerslev, Anne Published in: International Journal of Communication Publication date: 2016 Document version Publisher's PDF, also known as Version of record Document license: CC BY-ND Citation for published version (APA): Jerslev, A. (2016). In The Time of the Microcelebrity: Celebrification and the YouTuber Zoella. International Journal of Communication, 10, 5233-5251. http://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/article/view/5078/1822 Download date: 27. sep.. 2021 International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 5233–5251 1932–8036/20160005 In the Time of the Microcelebrity: Celebrification and the YouTuber Zoella ANNE JERSLEV University of Copenhagen, Denmark This article discusses the temporal changes in celebrity culture occasioned by the dissemination of digital media, social network sites, and video-sharing platforms, arguing that, in contemporary celebrity culture, different temporalities are connected to the performance of celebrity in different media: a temporality of plenty, of permanent updating related to digital media celebrity; and a temporality of scarcity distinctive of large-scale international film and television celebrities. The article takes issue with the term celebrification and suggests that celebrification on social media platforms works along a temporality of permanent updating, of immediacy and authenticity. Taking UK YouTube vlogger and microcelebrity Zoella as the analytical case, the article points out that microcelebrity strategies are especially connected with the display of accessibility, presence, and intimacy online; moreover, the broadening of processes of celebrification beyond YouTube may put pressure on microcelebrities’ claim to authenticity. Keywords: celebrification, microcelebrity, YouTubers, vlogging, social media, celebrity culture YouTubers are a huge phenomenon online.

  • Red Nose Day 2017 Predicted to Be the “Biggest Ever”
    Red Nose Day 2017 Predicted To Be The “Biggest Ever” By Louisa and Alice Armitage Red Nose Day is a day which is filled with comedy and foam noses - but what makes it so popular? Red Nose Day is a charity day organised by the British charity Comic Relief, founded in 1985. The first live fundraising event was aired on 5th February 1988. Since then, over £1 Billion has been raised for other charitable organisations and projects in the UK and some of the world poorest countries. The charity also runs the event Sport Relief, which aims to raise money through sport. The events run in alternate years from each other and together raise millions of pounds for charity. Some projects they have helped fund help stopping domestic abuse, malaria and helping get clean water to areas where there is none. In 2015, Dermot O’Leary danced for 24 hours straight outside the BBC London studios and raised £1,011,117 for Comic Relief. Many celebrities joined him throughout the 24 hours to raise the money. Many schools and workplaces across the country are getting involved in fundraising events such as cake sales, fancy dress competitions and “danceathons”. People across the country are also taking part in challenges such as shaving their head, sponsored silences and climbing mountains. This year is expected to be the biggest fundraiser in Red Nose Day history. Artists often release songs on Red Nose Day and profits from these songs are donated to charity. Examples of this are “One Way Or Another” by One Direction and “Lay Me Down” by Sam Smith and John Legend.
