Today, due in part to technological advances, the industry is much more expansive than it has ever been, yet the Hollywood unions, known as “guilds,” have arguably not evolved at a similar pace. Although the guilds have adapted to the needs of their members in many aspects, have they suc- cessfully adapted to the evolving Hollywood business model? This Comment puts a focus on the Writers Guild of America, Directors Guild of America, and the Screen Actors Guild, known as SAG-AFTRA following its merger in 2012, and asks whether their respective collective bargaining agreements are out-of- step with the evolution of the industry over the past ten years, particularly in the areas of new media and the direct-to-consumer model. While analyzing the guilds in the context of the industry environment as it is today, this Com- ment contends that as the guilds continue to feel more pronounced effects from the evolving media landscape, they will need to adapt at a much more rapid pace than ever before in order to meet the needs of their members.

  • Media Ownership Chart
    In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly . In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media" -- controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies. He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies. This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six. Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4 Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation. In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly , shows that only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth.

As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design.

Managed services refers to the outsourcing of the day-to-day management of a specific function. Managed services are available for a wide range of a number of IT-related activities. Unlike IT project work or break/fix support, managed services provide proactive support and maintenance on an ongoing basis. WHY USE MANAGED SERVICES? The proactive management of IT resources enables organizations to keep IT services operational and up-to- date, minimizing problems and downtime. But this requires resources that strapped IT departments may not have. Managed services provide organizations with a cost-effective way to supplement their IT resources, allowing them to free up employees to focus on activities with the highest strategic value. It also enables companies to take advantage of: • Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) thanks to economies of scale they may not be able to achieve on their own; • Cost-effective access to enterprise-level support; • Access to deep domain expertise they may not have in-house; and • Predictable operating costs via fixed monthly fees.

  • ATTACHMENT a the FCC’S Newspaper-Broadcast Cross-Ownership Rule: an Analysis
    ATTACHMENT A The FCC’s Newspaper-Broadcast Cross-Ownership Rule: An Analysis by Douglas Gomery Douglas Gomery is professor of media economics and history in the College of Journalism at the University of Maryland. His most recent book, Who Owns the Media? (with Ben Compaine), won the 2000 Picard Prize for the best media economics book of the year. He has published 10 other books, some 500 articles in scholarly journals and encyclopedias, written a column, “The Economics of Television,” for the American Journalism Review, and consulted for both the Federal Communications Commission and the Government Accounting Office. Acknowledgments. The author wishes to thank Eileen Appelbaum for her skills in fashioning this study, and Marilyn Moon for her help in crafting its arguments and for her inspiration as one of America's best public policy analysts. ECONOMIC POLICY INSTITUTE 1 Introduction In 1975 the Federal Communications Commission initiated the newspaper-broadcast cross- ownership rule, which bars a single company from owning a newspaper and a broadcast station in the same market. The purpose of the rule is to prevent any single corporate entity from becoming too powerful a single voice within a community, and thus the rule seeks to maximize diversity under the conditions dictated by the marketplace. The cross-ownership ban does not prevent a newspaper from owning a broadcast station in another market, and indeed many large newspapers — such as the New York Times and the Washington Post — own and operate broadcast stations outside their flagship cities (Compaine and Gomery 2000). Media organizations have largely opposed the rule since its inception, and their prospects for eliminating or limiting it brightened in 1996, when the new Telecommunications Act directed the FCC to continually review all ownership rules.
