Oct. 2021 Multidimensional Storytelling: An Analytical Framework for Digital, Interactive and Transmedia Narratives Simona Spinelli Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, King's College London, University of London Faculty of Arts & Humanities King's College London UK November, 2019 1 Abstract This thesis provides a unified framework { i.e., Multidimensional Storytelling (MDS) framework { that can be used to investigate, in a unified analytical environment, hybrid new media narratives, which combine elements of digital, interactive and transmedia storytelling. The research questions of this study are: What are the common features and patterns shared by digital, interactive and transmedia narrative artefacts? Is it possible to unify digital, interactive and transmedia storytelling within a common conceptual framework? Is there any significant change in the different narrative dimensions of new media sto- rytelling projects from 2000 to 2015? The ultimate goal of the thesis is to develop a framework that researchers interested in new media narratives can use to examine hybrid new media narratives in a standardised way. To address the research questions, I have used a mixed research method- ology that combines the study of academic literature, expert interviews, and the analysis of 61 case studies. I initially identified the shared narrative and technological patterns found in digital, interactive and transmedia narratives. I leveraged these insights to design and implement the MDS framework. The MDS framework comprises both qualitative and quantitative analytical de- vices that researchers can use to perform detailed examinations of hybrid new media narratives. I tested the MDS framework performing quantitative and qualitative analyses, respectively, on 36 and three new media stories pub- lished between 2000 and 2015. Beyond testing the framework, the goal of this empirical analyses was to identify changes in the narrative and technological components of the projects over time. The thesis provides multiple contributions. The MDS framework can be used to perform reproducible and comparable analyses which measure the level of hybridisation of new media narratives at scale. The framework also provides 2 concepts and a terminology that researchers, professionals and the audience can use to discuss new media stories accurately and productively. From an empirical perspective, the analyses of the case studies has revealed that there has been an increase in the level of hybridisation of new media narratives from 2000 to 2015. 3 Table of content

    February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In

    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.
