LIMITATIONS ON COPYRIGHT PROTECTION FOR FORMAT IDEAS IN REALITY TELEVISION PROGRAMMING I. INTRODUCTION Television networks constantly compete to find and produce the next big hit. The shifting economic landscape forged by increasing competition between and among ever-proliferating media platforms, however, places extreme pressure on network profit margins. Fully scripted hour-long dramas and half-hour comedies have become increasingly costly, while delivering diminishing ratings in the key demographics most valued by advertisers. It therefore is not surprising that the reality television genre has become a staple of network schedules. New reality shows are churned out each season.1 The main appeal, of course, is that they are cheap to make and addictive to watch. Networks are able to take ordinary people and create a show without having to pay “A-list” actor salaries and hire teams of writers.2 Many of the most popular programs are unscripted, meaning lower cost for higher ratings. Even where the ratings are flat, such shows are capable of generating higher profit margins through advertising directed to large groups of more readily targeted viewers. -

Reinventing Nollywood: the Impact of Online Funding and Distribution on Nigerian
Reinventing Nollywood: the impact of online funding and distribution on Nigerian cinema Abstract The Nigerian film industry often referred to as Nollywood, is currently experiencing significant transformations in its mode of production and distribution. These far-reaching transformations are driven by tech-savvy Nigerian filmmakers who are willing to consider innovative models in the filmmaking practice – from crowdfunding to content distribution via online platforms – in their effort to become relevant in the changing digital global marketplace. Drawing on pertinent case studies and in-depth interviews with stakeholders in the Nigerian film industry, this paper suggests that advances in digital technologies, such as the Internet and digital media are creating new ways for ‘new generation’ filmmakers in Nigeria to fund and circulate their creative work to a vast global audience. Keywords Nollywood, new media, digital distribution, Nigerian cinema, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, online distribution, digital media, digital filmmaking, digital cinema. Introduction Whilst the mode of screen content production, circulation and consumption continue to transform in an age that is driven by technological innovations, change in market dynamics and audience behaviour are radically altering traditional business models globally. The drift is overthrowing institutional relationships, cultural hierarchies, and conventional business models (Curtin et al, 2014). In Nigeria especially, some of the traditional business models associated with the industry have become less viable as emerging and established filmmakers are increasingly looking to the Internet as an alternative means to raise funds and distribute their work. Although some of these web-based funding and distribution models are in their infancy, current trends in Nollywood suggest that these innovative approaches to film finance and distribution are gradually establishing themselves alongside the traditional Nollywood system. -
Alluvion! Seizing Momentum Driving Change
ALLUVION! SEIZING MOMENTUM DRIVING CHANGE ALLUVION! SEIZING MOMENTUM DRIVING CHANGE ALLUVION! SEIZING MOMENTUM DRIVING CHANGE WELCOME! Alluvion! Seizing Momentum, Driving Change Africa matters! Africa’s economic pulse has quickened, infusing the continent with new commercial vibrancy. Africa’s economic growth has given rise to an environment that can be characterized as “Alluvion” By definition this is an overflowing; an inundation; a flood of change. Relationships, policies, institutions are currently inundated with ideas and changing in non-linear ways. Continent wide, organizations are working at intersections of policy, institutional and behavior change to address those issues. There is an unprecedent- ed opportunity for a more strategic and collaborative, social impact agenda and a need to be adept at seizing the opportunities present in this overflow environment. Current dynamics are highly favorable for strengthening cross-sectoral collaboration. Over the last few years, new spaces have opened up for engaging actors around their com- parative advantages and respective interests as the benefits of partnering have become obvious. The private sector understands that it needs the access and knowledge of local partners and national governments to grasp the enormous opportunities available. Gover- ments and civil society organizations are recognizing the value of the resources, capaci- ties, and expertise that the private sector can bring to their development efforts. As the interests of various sectors continue to converge and improvements in regulatory environ- Doyin Oluntona ments make cooperating easier and safer, opportunities for partnerships continue to grow. Co-Founder/CEO, Uturn Africa The private sector is incentivized to invest in well thought out social ventures not just for immediate returns but for longer-term change that will strengthen the entire value chain and social stability. -
Appraisal of Media and Youth Entrepreneurship in Nigeria
83 APPRAISAL OF MEDIA AND YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN NIGERIA Chinwe Okpoko Department of Mass Communication University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Anthony Chinedu Ekwueme Department of Mass Communication University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Abstract All over the world, particularly in a developing country like Nigeria, millions of youth daily roam the streets in desperate search of non-existing jobs. Given the high level of unemployment in Nigeria and the associated social vices, the need to open avenues through which youths can be gainfully employed and in addition create wealth becomes very imperative. One of these avenues is media entrepreneurship. The media are known to have diverse dimensions which provide opportunities for creative-minded youths to become significant job creators and income multipliers. Some of these opportunities can therefore be explored and exploited by our youths. Media entrepreneurship is used here to refer to any innovative effort to create wealth or job by exploiting the intrinsic relationship between the media, business and society. This exploratory study used available literature and observation to address the subject matter and makes recommendations. Key words: Entrepreneurship, Media entrepreneurship and youth Introduction The high level of global unemployment has, for some time now, been a major concern for governments across the world. Here and there, all over the world particularly in developing countries, millions of youths armed with certificates roam the streets desperately searching for non-existing jobs. According to Haftendorn and Salzano (2003, p.iii), “66 million young people are unemployed and an even higher number are underemployed…” This state of affairs and the attendant negative social consequences portend bleak future for youths in many developing countries if not properly addressed. -
