The event raised $50,000 for The Genesis Fund, an organization which promotes funding for the treatment of handicapped children.

  • One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and Their Fans
    One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and their Fans Annie Lyons TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin December 2020 __________________________________________ Renita Coleman Department of Journalism Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Hannah Lewis Department of Musicology Second Reader 2 ABSTRACT Author: Annie Lyons Title: One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and their Fans Supervising Professors: Renita Coleman, Ph.D. Hannah Lewis, Ph.D. Boy bands have long been disparaged in music journalism settings, largely in part to their close association with hordes of screaming teenage and prepubescent girls. As rock journalism evolved in the 1960s and 1970s, so did two dismissive and misogynistic stereotypes about female fans: groupies and teenyboppers (Coates, 2003). While groupies were scorned in rock circles for their perceived hypersexuality, teenyboppers, who we can consider an umbrella term including boy band fanbases, were defined by a lack of sexuality and viewed as shallow, immature and prone to hysteria, and ridiculed as hall markers of bad taste, despite being driving forces in commercial markets (Ewens, 2020; Sherman, 2020). Similarly, boy bands have been disdained for their perceived femininity and viewed as inauthentic compared to “real” artists— namely, hypermasculine male rock artists. While the boy band genre has evolved and experienced different eras, depictions of both the bands and their fans have stagnated in media, relying on these old stereotypes (Duffett, 2012). This paper aimed to investigate to what extent modern boy bands are portrayed differently from non-boy bands in music journalism through a quantitative content analysis coding articles for certain tropes and themes.

  • New Kids on the Block the Life of a New-Born REIT/ Business Trust Newsletter for June 2019
    New Kids on the Block The Life of a New-Born REIT/ Business Trust Newsletter for June 2019 It wouldn’t be outlandish to say that in recent years Singapore has become the REIT/ Business Trust capital of the East. REITs from not just within Singapore but from the U.S., Europe, China and Japan have been attracted to the SGX and listed their units here. At last count there were 44 REITs/ Business Trusts listed on the SGX of which 7 listed in the last three years alone. For yield-seeking investors, this has created a veritable feast from which to pick and choose from. However, a listing of a REIT hasn’t guaranteed success for the sponsors as measured by the total returns delivered by their trusts. REITs, being equity-like long duration bonds, are sensitive to changes in the interest rate environment and its future outlook. Given an environment of yo-yoing interest rates and a lower-for-longer global growth outlook, the performance of newly-listed REITs/ BTs on the SGX has been varied. We’ve been in the thick of things, trying to be early birds at spotting the ones to invest in. We seldom target just the headline yield of a newly-listed REIT. Given that it is not established yet, it is equally important to ascertain if there is potential for capital gains over the period that the REIT/BT’s undervaluation is discovered and the price appreciates. Our experience of investing in newly-listed REITs/BTs is what this month’s piece is all about.
