I ask them how they are treated differently based on their gender. -
Review of Operations
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Turnover from continuing operations was £964.6 million (2001 restated: £1,040.1 million).The decline is primarily due to a reduction of £35.7 million in advertising revenues. Operating costs are under tight control. A stringent review last year identified £45.0 million in annual savings in the second full year, including Carlton’s share of savings in ITV. Delivery is well ahead of target with savings of £54.2 million achieved by end-September. June Brown and Penelope Keith star in Total continuing operating profit before amortisation and Margery & Gladys, a Carlton production for 2003. exceptional items was maintained at £65.3 million (2001: £65.8 million).The total amortisation charge, including joint ventures, was £17.6 million (2001: £17.4 million) and operating exceptional items totalled £4.8 million (2001: charges £52.4 million). Net interest charges were £12.0 million (2001: £35.6 million).The fall is attributable to lower effective interest rates and lower net interest bearing balances. Amounts written off investments were £8.2 million (2001: nil). Profit on continuing operations before taxation was £32.3 million (2001: loss of £39.6 million). ITV has extended its rights to show Bond movies on TV. BROADCASTING Turnover was £799.5 million (2001: £830.1 million) and profits were £67.4 million (2001: £83.3 million). Carlton’s television advertising revenues recovered to show an increase of 2 per cent in the second half of the year, compared to the same period last year. After a difficult first six months, year-on-year growth resumed in May. -

Who Run the World? Stans..Pages
WHO RUN THE WORLD? STANS. by Kevin Mernin and! Liam Schaefer “It's their prolific nature that both creates and procures what will later be perceived as the ‘kingdom.’ So, the real truth about Lady Gaga fans lies in this sentiment: They are the kings. They are the queens. They write the history of the kingdom, while I am something of a devoted Jester.” ! Lady Gaga, Manifesto of Little Monsters Little Monsters, Lady Gaga’s rabble of devoted fans, are not the first of their kind. But they are the most visible example of stan culture. Derived from the Eminem song of the same name, the term stan indicates a “stalker fan.” However, rather than a negative, the !designation of stan is a point of pride for members of the community. Stans not only claim a particular diva as their own, as their icon, but they take a genuine stake in that artist’s success. They’re listening to music, monitoring album sales and chart positions, touting critical praise and accolades, scrutinizing interviews and public appearances, memorizing choreography and generating millions of hours worth of tribute content on the internet. They take it upon themselves to proselytize to the unconverted and defend against the ignorant. Their divas are their figure heads, their deities, and as Lady Gaga implies, the divas are really just a conduit for the stans own imagination. In reality the stans are the world-builders - they can do what they want with her body. ! Little Monsters are a testament to the impact STAN: an overzealous and overly devoted and creative output an organized, unified fan of a particular pop diva. -

So You've Been Musically Shamed
WILLIAM CHENG Dartmouth College Email: [email protected] So You’ve Been Musically Shamed ABSTRACT In July 2014, an anonymous source leaked the raw audio of Britney Spears’s confessional ballad “Alien.” Haters pounced on this star’s denuded voice, gleefully seizing on the viral artifact as a smoking gun for Spears’s deficits and for the pop industry’s artistic fakeries more broadly. My paper situates this flashpoint of Spears-shaming within late-capitalist archives of public humiliation, cyberleaks, and the paternalistic scrutiny of women’s bodies and voices. KEYWORDS: critical theory, media studies, popular music A marketplace has emerged where public humiliation is a commodity and shame is an industry. How is the money made? Clicks. The more shame, the more clicks. – monica lewinsky1 “Poor Britney Spears” is not the beginning of a sentence you hear often uttered in my household. – tony hoagland, “poor britney spears,” beginning of the poem2 In the summer of 2014, the internet sprang a musical leak. Suddenly circulating on YouTube was a video featuring the allegedly raw, non-Auto-Tuned sounds of Brit- 3 ney Spears singing her new album track “Alien.” Spears’s voice in this recording was noticeably off-key and off-kilter, like some abject artifact meant to be overwritten, for- gotten, abandoned on the cutting room floor. In the video’s comment threads, view- ers’ strident pronouncements of aching ears and melting brains swirled in a chorus of mockery. Haters pounced on the star’s denuded voice and offered it as airtight 1.
