I would especially thank Dr. Grimm for all of her guidance. I know I would never have finished if it wasn’t for her kindness and time working with me. Also, if it wasn’t for Kirsten and Holly, I would have gone nuts without their support. Thank you to my cohort. If it wasn’t for you guys, I would have given up long ago. You gave me laughter when I needed it. Shoulders to cry on when I needed it. You provided me with so much encouragement. To my twisted sister, you are a rock. I appreciated you for always taking the time to make me feel like I could really do this. To my amazing family who has provided me with so much love and unwavering support. I am so blessed to have you fighting on my side no matter any of the challenges I faced throughout the entire PhD process. You made me feel nurtured and gave me unconditional love. You gave me advice when I needed it. You listened to me when I needed to rant. You were always there when I was feeling inadequate. There are not enough words to tell you how much your love and support has meant to me. I wouldn’t have finished if it wasn’t for your encouragement. I thank you for everything! To my husband, Jared, you have been there through the best and worst of times. You helped me finish when I wanted to give up. Your love is an inspiration and I will always be thankful for your understanding of my tantrums and sharing in my victories. Also, Echo you were so helpful. Always listening and loving me no matter what I did. Lastly, I want to dedicate my dissertation to my father. He was an inspiration. If it wasn’t for him, I would never have started this journey I wish he were here to see me finish. I know it would have meant so much to him. Even though he is not here with us now, I know he’s smiling down on me and willing me to finish. #PARASOCIAL INTERACTION: CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS 1 Chapter One Introduction and Problem Statement On May 6, 2004, over 51 million people watched the final episode of Friends, which aired for ten years (Associated Press, 2004). After that final episode aired, viewers began to feel a sense of loss, distress, and even sadness. The viewers were showing the same symptoms as if they had just broken up with a partner or experienced the loss of a close friend or family member. What could cause this strange phenomenon of experiencing such strong emotions from simply

  • 'Friends' with a Vlogger?
    1 Can You Become ‘Friends’ With a Vlogger? How Multiple Exposures, Addressing Style and Individual Belongingness Needs Affect the Parasocial Relationship Darcy I. Oerlemans SNR 2044244 Master’s Thesis Communication and Information Sciences Specialization Communication and Cognition School of Humanities and Digital Sciences Tilburg University, Tilburg Supervisor: Charlotte Out (MSc) Second Reader: dr. Martijn Goudbeek January 2021 2 Abstract A parasocial relationship is a long-term and one-sided relationship that a viewer can develop towards a media character, such as a vlogger. Although the concept has found favor with researchers, not many studies have yet focused on parasocial relationships with unknown vloggers. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify the role of two key aspects in parasocial relationship strength: repeated exposures to the vlogger and the extent to which the vlogger bodily addresses the viewer, conceptualized as both seeing and hearing the vlogger speak. Moreover, individuals with a high need to belong were expected to develop stronger parasocial relationships. In a 2 (exposure to the vlogger: after first vlog and after second vlog) x 2 (bodily address: yes or no) experiment, participants (N = 122) watched two vlogs with one week in between. A mixed ANOVA indicated no effects of bodily address on parasocial relationship strength. However, regardless of addressing style, the parasocial relationship weakened after two exposures to the vlogger, indicating that parasocial relationships are not limited to positive experiences. Lastly, a MEMORE moderation analysis indicated no moderating role of the need to belong on the development of the parasocial relationship. This study is the first to combine the parasocial relationship with belongingness needs in a vlog context and used a successful manipulation of bodily address in an experiment with two exposures.

Michael Patrick King. He was born on September 14, 1954, the only son among four children of a working- Video capture from a class, Irish-American family in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Among various other jobs, his YouTube video. father delivered coal, and his mother ran a Krispy Kreme donut shop. In a 2011 interview, King noted that he knew from an early age that he was "going to go into show business." Toward that goal, after graduating from a Scranton public high school, he applied to New York City's Juilliard School, one of the premier performing arts conservatories in the country. Unfortunately, his family could not afford Juilliard's high tuition, and King instead attended the more affordable Mercyhurst University, a Catholic liberal arts college in Erie, Pennsylvania. Mercyhurst had a small theater program at the time, which King later learned to appreciate, explaining that he received invaluable personal attention from the faculty and was allowed to explore and grow his talent at his own pace. However, he left college after three years without graduating, driven, he said, by a desire to move to New York and "make it as an actor." In New York, King worked multiple jobs, such as waiting on tables and unloading buses at night, while studying acting during the day at the famed Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.

  • Rebooting Roseanne: Feminist Voice Across Decades
    Home > Vol 21, No 5 (2018) > Ford Rebooting Roseanne: Feminist Voice across Decades Jessica Ford In recent years, the US television landscape has been flooded with reboots, remakes, and revivals of “classic” nineties television series, such as Full/er House (1987-1995, 2016- present), Will & Grace (1998-2006, 2017-present), Roseanne (1988-1977, 2018), and Charmed (1998-2006, 2018-present). The term “reboot” is often used as a catchall for different kinds of revivals and remakes. “Remakes” are derivations or reimaginings of known properties with new characters, cast, and stories (Loock; Lavigne). “Revivals” bring back an existing property in the form of a continuation with the same cast and/or setting. “Revivals” and “remakes” both seek to capitalise on nostalgia for a specific notion of the past and access the (presumed) existing audience of the earlier series (Mittell; Rebecca Williams; Johnson). Reboots operate around two key pleasures. First, there is the pleasure of revisiting and/or reimagining characters that are “known” to audiences. Whether continuations or remakes, reboots are invested in the audience’s desire to see familiar characters. Second, there is the desire to “fix” and/or recuperate an earlier series. Some reboots, such as the Charmed remake attempt to recuperate the whiteness of the original series, whereas others such as Gilmore Girls: A Life in the Year (2017) set out to fix the ending of the original series by giving audiences a new “official” conclusion. The Roseanne reboot is invested in both these pleasures. It reunites the original cast for a short-lived, but impactful nine-episode tenth season.

Introduction 1.1 Introduction Twitchis an online platform founded in 2011 (https://twitch.tv) where users live-stream themselves while playing a video game, displaying gameplay andincluding webcam and microphoneto communicate with their viewers (image 1.1). According to Twitch, the community consists of more than 2 million live-streamers and close to 10 million visitors per day (About Twitch).Besides individual users, organizations broadcast their eSports tournaments where gamers and teams compete for prizes (Edge 34-5). Twitch additionally offers features for social contact between users by following, subscribing, adding friends and sending personal messages. Additionally, all channelshave a chat room right next to the live-stream where userscan communicate in real time (image 1.1). Twitch users can select streams from the list of channels they “follow” at the left side of the screen, or they can browse through all live channels, of both individual streamers and organized tournaments, filtered per game, community or popularity (image 1.2). Besides the heterogeneous gaming content, Twitch introduced a “Creative” section in October 2015, where users stream themselves while cooking, painting, designing, making music, et cetera.

  • A Young Media Person's Guide to Evaluating Pilots
    May 2019 #61 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ A Young Media Person’s Guide to Evaluating Pilots By Steve Sternberg This week the broadcast networks are announcing their primetime fall schedules for next season. In the days that follow, insiders at advertisers and their agencies, as well as TV critics and media analysts like me, will get to see all the pilots for their new fall TV shows. Predictions of hits and misses will commence soon thereafter. In the 30 years that I’ve been analyzing TV programming, the idea of what makes a successful series has changed dramatically. In the 1980s, a 30 share among households was the benchmark of success for a new broadcast network series (something that today would be a truly remarkable number). During the 1990s, as cable began siphoning off broadcast viewers, a 20 share or a reasonably strong demographic performance (finishing first or second in its time period among adults 18-34 or 18-49) was considered successful. Throughout the 2000s, as DVR, multimedia device and streaming penetration started growing, definitions of success became more nebulous – finishing first or second in a time period, holding a solid portion of its lead-in audience, performing well among a certain demographic segment, doing well relative to the network’s other programming, receiving a strong bump in time-shifted viewing, and being popular on social media, all contribute to whether a new show is perceived as successful. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Your Ad can go here and reach media decision makers. 85% of those surveyed said they read The Sternberg Report the day they receive it.

    August 2018 #46 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ New Fall TV Shows – the Good, the Bad, & the Too Bad By Steve Sternberg In today’s video world, the very idea of a fall TV season seems antiquated. For years, cable networks have debuted original scripted series throughout the year, most often in spring or summer when the broadcast networks typically air repeats or reality shows. OTT streaming services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, drop new series whenever they are ready to go. But the broadcast networks still have the most and the highest rated original scripted series (The Walking Dead notwithstanding), so as long as they continue to premiere so many programs over a two-week period in September, the new “fall season” will be relevant. I’ve been analyzing television programming for roughly 30 years, and have seen many good pilots flop, but also more than a few lackluster pilots build into hits. Increasingly, however, the latter is harder to come by. Long gone are the days when a Miami Vice can start out slowly and become a word-of-mouth success over the summer. Or a Seinfeld can take three years to find an audience and grow into an iconic hit. Or an Everybody Loves Raymond can start out on Friday with low ratings, move to Monday and become one of the highest rated comedies on television. The TV landscape is simply too competitive. These and many other long-running hits would have been canceled today after just a few episodes. Let’s hope the networks have the fortitude to give shows they believe in but are not instant hits a chance to build.

  • Women's Leadership in Primetime Television an Introductory Study
    Women’s Leadership in Primetime Television An Introductory Study Natalie Greene Spring 2009 General University Honors Capstone Advisor: Karen O’Connor Greene 1 Women’s Leadership in Prime-time Television: An Introductory Study Introduction When television executives report their core audience, women always come out ahead. A 2007 Nielsen Media Research report showed that, with only two exceptions, every broadcast network channel had more female viewers than men. ABC’s female audience almost doubled its male audience during the 2007-08 season (Atkinson, 2008). 1 Women onscreen, however, seem to reflect a different reality, making up only 43% of characters in the prime-time 2007-08 season (Lauzen, 2008). 2 As studies going back as far as the 1970s show, women on screen not only fail to represent the proportional makeup of women in society, they also overwhelmingly show a stereotypically gendered version of women (McNeil, 1975; Signorielli and Bacue, 1999; United States Commission on Civil Rights, 1977). This paper aims to address the evolution of women’s leadership in prime-time network scripted television from 1950 to 2008. Because of the way that women have been traditionally marginalized in television, it is important to study the shows that have featured women as lead characters. Characters such as Lucy Ricardo ( I Love Lucy, 1951-1960) influenced later female leads such as Ann Marie ( That Girl, 1966-1971), Mary Richards ( The Mary Tyler Moore Show, 1970-1977) and Murphy Brown ( Murphy Brown, 1988-1998). Thus, along with an introduction to socialization theory and feminist television criticism, this paper covers a selection of some of the most influential female characters and women-centered shows of this period.
