Digital Distribution
HOW DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION AND EVALUATION IS IMPACTING PUBLIC SERVICE ADVERTISING Aggressive Promotion Yields Significant Results By Bill Goodwill & James Baumann It is no surprise to see that digital distribution of all media products is fast becoming the de facto standard for distribution of media content, particularly for shorter videos such as PSA messages. First let’s define the terms. Digital distribution (also called digital content delivery, online distribution, or electronic distribution), is the delivery of media content online, thus bypassing physical distribution methods, such as video tapes, CDs and DVDs. In additional to saving money on tapes and disks, digital distribution eliminates the need to print collateral materials such as storyboards, newsletters, bounce-back cards, etc. Finally, it provides the opportunity to preview messages online, and offers media high- quality files for download. The “Pull” Distribution Model In the pre-digital world, the media was spoiled because they had all the PSA messages they could ever use delivered right to their desktop, along with promotional materials explaining the importance of the campaigns. Today, the standard way for stations to get PSAs in the digital world is to go to a site created by the digital distribution company and download them from the “cloud.” Using a dashboard that has been created for PSAs, the media can preview the spots and download both the PSAs, as well as digital collateral materials such as storyboards, a newsletter and traffic instructions. This schematic shows the overall process flow for digital distribution. To provide more control over digital distribution, Goodwill Communications has its own digital distribution download site called PSA Digital™, and to see how we handle both TV and radio digital files, go to: http://www.goodwillcommunications.com/PSADigital.aspx. -
The Effects of Digital Music Distribution" (2012)
Southern Illinois University Carbondale OpenSIUC Research Papers Graduate School Spring 4-5-2012 The ffecE ts of Digital Music Distribution Rama A. Dechsakda [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: http://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/gs_rp The er search paper was a study of how digital music distribution has affected the music industry by researching different views and aspects. I believe this topic was vital to research because it give us insight on were the music industry is headed in the future. Two main research questions proposed were; “How is digital music distribution affecting the music industry?” and “In what way does the piracy industry affect the digital music industry?” The methodology used for this research was performing case studies, researching prospective and retrospective data, and analyzing sales figures and graphs. Case studies were performed on one independent artist and two major artists whom changed the digital music industry in different ways. Another pair of case studies were performed on an independent label and a major label on how changes of the digital music industry effected their business model and how piracy effected those new business models as well. I analyzed sales figures and graphs of digital music sales and physical sales to show the differences in the formats. I researched prospective data on how consumers adjusted to the digital music advancements and how piracy industry has affected them. Last I concluded all the data found during this research to show that digital music distribution is growing and could possibly be the dominant format for obtaining music, and the battle with piracy will be an ongoing process that will be hard to end anytime soon. -

Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium
Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century. -

Facebook Coin: What's the Realistic Angle?
MARCH 14, 2019, 6:16PM EDT Facebook Coin: What’s The Realistic Angle? BY RYAN TODD It’s that time of year, the post-earnings lull where equity analysts take time to digest new company information and either reaffirm their views or offer material changes to their theses. For some looking to make a splash, the occasional brow-raising bold calls trickle out as well. This week, Barclays’ internet analyst Ross Sandler released a note to clients which walked through his bullish view on Facebook Coin, suggesting the project could unlock as much as $19 billion in incremental revenue by 2021, and a conservative base-case forecast of $3 billion. That’s not a typo. Initially reported back in December by Bloomberg, Facebook’s blockchain team has apparently been developing a stablecoin for payments within WhatsApp. More recently, the New York Times published a report, showing the surprising speed of development of Facebook’s stablecoin. According to the report, Facebook had held talks with exchanges about listing its stablecoin, which will be pegged “to a basket of different foreign currencies, rather than just the dollar.” Additionally, the Facebook blockchain team is prepared to launch this stablecoin in the first half of 2019, according to NYT. Here’s what you need to know: Facebook’s experiment with Facebook Credits offers FB Coin clues Based on Barclays’ channel checks and note to investors, FB Coin may actually start out as a single purpose virtual token that mimics the functionality Facebook Credits offered in the early 2010s. Facebook Credits was a program that allowed the purchase of an in-platform token with a credit card/PayPal ($1 = 10FB credits) in order to use as a currency for paid applications and in-game items. -
