French Pour Publication Immédiate : 22/4 Pour publication immédiate : 22/4/2016 GOUVERNEUR ANDREW M. CUOMO État de New York | Chambre Exécutive Andrew M. Cuomo | Gouverneur LE GOUVERNEUR CUOMO ET ABC STUDIOS ANNONCENT QUE LA DEUXIÈME SAISON DE LA SÉRIÉ TÉLÉ QUANTICO SERA FILMÉE DANS L'ÉTAT DE NEW YORK Quantico générera des centaines d'emplois et des millions de dollars durant la production Le Gouverneur Andrew M. Cuomo et ABC Studios (une filiale de The Walt Disney Company ) a annoncé aujourd'hui que la populaire série télé Quantico quittera Montréal pour déménager dans l'État de New York. La saison à venir inclura 22 épisodes d'une heure, créant des centaines d'emplois locaux et générant un montant estimé à 68 millions de dollars en dépenses dans l'État de New York. Tous les aspects de la production, y compris l'équipe d'écriture, seront basés dans l'État de New York. Le tournage devrait commencer en juillet, ce qui créera au moins 300 emplois à temps plein dans l'État de New York, et la postproduction continuera jusqu'en mai 2017. La postproduction de la première saison de Quantico a été faite à New York, et a ajouté plus de 5 millions de dollars à l'économie locale « L'État de New York n'a aucune limite en matière de création, et offre une chance sans pareil de travailler avec la crème de l'industrie, a déclaré le Gouverneur Cuomo. Nous sommes fiers du fait que Disney reconnaisse tout ce que l'Empire State a à offrir, et que le déménagement de Quantico générera des centaines d'emplois pour les New-Yorkais et apportera des millions de dollars aux entreprises locales. » Le président, directeur général et commissaire de l'Empire State Development, Howard Zemsky, a déclaré : « Nous sommes très heureux que la distribution et l'équipe de l'excellente série Quantico tournent à New York. La série est un ajout bienvenu aux industries florissantes de la télévision et du cinéma de l'Empire State, lesquelles ont créé des milliers d'emplois et ont considérablement contribué à d'autres industries dans l'État. » Patrick Moran, vice-président administratif d'ABC Studios, a déclaré : « ABC Studios accorde de la valeur au fort partenariat développé avec l'Empire State Development (ESD), et il nous tarde de collaborer avec l'équipe en vue de créer une excellente émission de télévision en plus d'offrir de nouveaux débouchés aux New-Yorkais. » Mark Gordon, producteur administratif de Quantico, a déclaré : « Depuis mes premiers jours à l'école de cinéma de la NYU que je souhaite tourner une série à New French York. Je suis extrêmement enthousiaste à l'idée de travailler avec les professionnels du cinéma et de la télévision les plus talentueux du monde. J'aime New York. » Joshua Safran, producteur administratif de Quantico, a déclaré : « Je suis on ne peut plus heureux d'amener Quantico à New York, ce qui en fait la troisième émission (sur trois) que je filme dans ma ville d'origine. Quantico se déroule en partie à New York, et l'authenticité ainsi que la valeur de la production gagnées du simple fait d'être dans ses divers environnements sont incommensurables. Je suis reconnaissant de rejoindre les rangs des émissions non seulement tournées, mais entièrement produites à New York, y compris pour ce qui est de l'écriture et de la postproduction. » La série à succès Quantico d'ABC, acclamée par Sunday night , a commencé en septembre 2015 avec la super vedette internationale Priyanka Chopra dans le rôle d'Alex Parrish, une stagiaire du FBI faussement accusée d'avoir organisé la plus grande attaque terroriste depuis le 11 septembre . Passant des retours en arrière à Quantico au présent, on suit le chemin tortueux menant à la source du mystère. La seconde saison de Quantico tournera autour de la première année des nouveaux agents dans le domaine. De nombreuses importantes productions cinématographiques ont dit que le programme de crédit d'impôt cinématographique de l'Empire State avait fortement joué au moment de choisir New York comme lieu de tournage. Depuis 2004, 1382 projets de cinéma et de télévision ont participé au programme, et on estime qu'ils ont généré plus d'un million d'embauches et 20 milliards de dollars de nouvelles dépenses au sein de l'État de New York. En 2015 uniquement, 203 projets de cinéma et de télévision, un record, ont postulé pour le programme, générant un nombre estimé de 187 764 embauches et 3,05 milliards de dollars en nouvelles dépenses dans l'État. Depuis 2011, Disney a fait une contribution directe d'environ 500 millions de dollars à l'économie de l'État de New York par la production télévisuelle et cinématographique, en plus de créer environ 37 102 emplois pour les New-Yorkais. ABC Studios est un chef de file dans le développement, la production et la distribution stratégique du contenu de divertissement sur les plateformes de radiodiffusion, de câble et sur demande. Le studio est un important fournisseur de contenu pour ABC Entertainment, ayant produit de multiples saisons de séries à succès, dont les émissions actuelles « American Crime », « black-ish », « Castle », « Grey's Anatomy », « How to Get Away with Murder », « Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. », « Marvel’s Agent Carter », « Mistresses », « Nashville », « Once Upon a Time », « Quantico », « Scandal » et « Secrets and Lies » pour ABC, « Criminal Minds » pour CBS et « Devious Maids » pour Lifetime. Pour ce qui est de la saison actuelle, ABC Studios produit « The Muppets », « Quantico » et « The Real O’Neals » sur ABC, « Grandfathered » sur FOX ainsi que « Code Black » et « Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders » sur CBS. ### Des informations complémentaires sont disponibles à www.governor.ny.gov État de New York | Executive Chamber | [email protected] | 518.474.8418 French .

The roof system is failing and there are numerous leaks that cause damage to the interior of the facility. There are numerous NFPA Life Safety and ADA code deficiencies, no fire suppression systems, and poor indoor air quality. The facilities do not meet construction standards for energy efficiency. Numerous maintenance and repair problems have developed and are becoming non- repairable.

THE NETFLIX EFFECT EXAMINING THE INFLUENCE OF CONTEMPORARY ENTERTAINMENT MEDIA CONSUMPTION PATTERNS ON POLITICAL ATTITUDES AND SOCIAL PERCEPTIONS by ALEXANDRA C. PAULEY Under the Direction of Lakeyta Bonnette-Bailey, PhD ABSTRACT In the past two decades, media consumption has changed not only in terms of breadth and amount, but also in terms of availability and accessibility. Shows that once could only be viewed at their scheduled time on their scheduled network may now be streamed across several platforms at almost any time. Further, audiences have begun to connect with characters beyond the shows and films they inhabit, building websites, following related social media pages, recording podcasts and more to continue and expand these parasocial relationships. The social scientific community has only begun to scratch the surface of how these changes affect audience members and society at large—particularly regarding the political impact of entertainment media.
