Steve Smith's Eye on Innovation: Apple’S Wearable Is a Publisher Proving Ground, Not Yet a Platform May 25, 2015 Media Industry Newsletter Vol. 68 No. 21 New York, N.Y. www.minonline.com Steve Smith's Eye on Innovation: Apple’S WEARABLE IS A PUBLISHER PROVING GROUND, NOT YET A PLATFORM. Truth told, after a week of wearing and tending to it conscientiously, the Apple Watch is an underwhelming experience. As a piece of hardware it sits comfortably within Apple’s infamous “Reality Distortion Field,” but it’s much less a work of coveted jewelry than the company wants us to believe. It’s bulbous, and anything but sleek. It's a black block glass that protrudes from the wrist and resembles the original iPhone. Anyone thinking this is less geeky than previous smart watches should stop drinking the Kool Aid immediately. In all respects, the device has first-generation written all over it. As a content delivery mechanism, the experience is unimpressive so far. (continued on page 4) "EW'S" MATTIACE-TO-DUQUE PUBLISHER CHANGE LOOKS SEAMLESS. Outwardly, this went smoothly, with Melissa Mattiace calling her two years at the En- tertainment Weekly helm "an honor." She was thanked by People publisher Karen Kovacs– her boss since the March addition of EW group publisher–for her "passion and dedica- tion" in producing "record-breaking digital growth across all platforms." Still, the May 19 news was not a surprise, because Mattiace was rumored to be on the hot seat for the past year, and conditions intensified with the Kovacs promotion coming in tandem with Rich Battista's hire as People and EW president. By promoting People and EW West Coast sales director Ellie Duque and keeping her based in Los Angeles, Battista and Kovacs have an on-site executive who could be an asset in building the all-important entertainment category as the movies and TV fall previews near and, to a lesser extent, technology and automotive. It also increases the responsibility of EW associate publisher Lana LoRusso, who added VP to her title and becomes the top New York business executive. Thus far, it has been a quiet 25th-anniversary year for EW under new editor Henry Goldblatt, who succeeded now-Time Inc. senior VP of editorial innovation, Matt Bean, in February. (continued on page 5) NOAH GALLOWAY'S WHIRLWIND DANCING WITH THE STARS AND "MEN'S HEALTH" WEEK. Pretty good for a physically challenged Iraq War veteran who one year ago, in the words of Men's Health editor-in-chief Bill Phillips, "was entering a contest." The content was Men's Health's first Ultimate Men's Health Guy competition, and Gal- loway won through readers' votes and judges' selection. His win put him on the November 2014 cover.

PAGE 2 MIN 5/25/2015 NOAH GALLOWAY'S "MEN'S HEALTH" CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON (continued from page 1) The attention that followed (including an appearances on Ellen) earned Galloway an invitation to compete on Dancing with the Stars. Being the first physically challenged male competitor in the series' 20 seasons made him and professional partner Sharna Burgess long- shots, so his third-place finish in the finals on May 19 was a tri- umph. Reports cited Galloway's injured right wrist made it difficult for him to lift Burgess with his arm. It's also said his "rabid" fan base, includes many veterans and MH readers. Post DWTS, Galloway, his fiancée Jamie Boyd and Burgess took the red eye from Los Ange- les to New York for a May 20 that began with Good Morning America and ended with MH's 11th Grooming Awards at Ph-D at the Dream Downtown. It couldn't have been scripted better for MH with 300-plus guests at the event, and a new perk for Galloway is becoming the spokesperson for Ken- neth Cole's Mankind fragrance. "Noah will always be part of the MH family," says Phillips. "He will be judging the 2015 Ultimate Men's Health Guy competition, and that we knew him before the world knew him is pretty neat." Galloway and Boyd are pictured (right) with MH publisher Ronan Gardiner and his fiancée, Saatchi & Saatchi planning director Christine Hasbun. THE "LUCKY" EXPERIMENT TAKES A NEW TURN. It was not a major surprise last week when Lucky Group CEO Josh Berman announced that the 15-year-old women's fashion and shopping brand was becoming less print with the frequen- cy reduction to quarterly from 10 times per year. Digital, specifically e-commerce, will dominate beginning with the September launch, and–per the minonline commentary by senior editor Caysey Welton–the formula of "the print magazine [as a] seasonal catalog for fash- ionistas with a mission to engage consumers through content and then drive them to make purchases online...could work." As CEO, Berman is attempting to fix something that is broken and bring Lucky more in line with his BeachMint e-commerce company that bought a majority stake in the brand from Condé Nast nine months ago. This is also a new approach for CN, which has traditionally closed unsuccessful businesses while retaining the rights in the event of a revival. That was done in October 2013 with Domino in partnership with three Internet entrepre- neurs. Rebuilding a business from scratch carries much less fanfare than changing one that results in the departures of Lucky president Gillian Gorman Round, editor-in-chief Eva Chen and 20 other staffers, according to Adweek. Time will tell if a successful Lucky is the role model for other CN titles should simi- lar circumstances arise. TWO "GLUTTONOUS" HEADLINES FROM CRAIN'S TITLES.

I have more than a dozen different news apps on my iPhone, from NYTNow, to aggregators like News Republic and Circa, to inspired longer form apps like Medium and Timeline. For my dai- ly world news, however, I tap into The Guardian’s news app most frequently. The app use is habitual and motivated by a number of factors, only some of which involve the quality and relevance of the content. The user interface and the overall pleasure of an app experience is an intangible but very real part of app retention and depth of use. You might say that all apps are games on some level. With use comes a bit of joy; not just information. The Guardian’s free app is unrivaled in the elegance of its design. Dispensing the default one-column feed of image- heavy scrolls that dominate other apps—this one reimagines design. Stories are contained in a blend of vertical and horizontal boxes. Thumbnails are used sparingly throughout the scrolling experience; keeping the eye, rather than the thumb, moving. You are not just trying to catch the relevant story as it whizzes by, but actually reading. The homepage scroll is long but as customizable as any news app I've seen. Tapping a Home+ button brings up an ar- ray of possible sections that you can add, remove and rear- range. In fact, the degree of control is quite remarkable —down to offering a condensed mode, managing what content your iOS widget contains and allowing a lighter version when off WiFi. As with most operations in the app, all these are intuitively designed with oversized operational buttons and clear paths.

  • 2015 Fall Press Report
    ROBERT HERJAVEC 2015 Fall Press Report OUTLET: THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER ISSUE: DECEMBER 4, 2015 CIRCULATION: 73,875 IMPRESSIONS: 221,625 OUTLET: RUNNERS WORLD ISSUE: NOVEMBER 6, 2015 IMPRESSIONS: 2,625,589 I got fired when I was younger, started an internet security business, and that was that. Some people have a vision to start a business. Others adapt because they’re forced to. I was the latter. I was a casual runner my whole life, but I got serious eight years ago when my mom became ill with cancer. My company was growing, my kids were littler, the days felt overwhelming. The only thing that made me forget about everything was running, so I started doing it every day. Most people think business is the fun, sexy stuff we see on TV, but success comes from the 22 things you have to do every day that nobody notices. That’s just like running. There are a lot of fans at the finish line of a marathon, but not as many between miles three and 26. My proudest running moment was my first marathon in Miami in 2009. I trained only for a few months, but I was really proud that I even finished (in 4:40). I run five miles daily, plus a long run of eight to 10 miles on Sunday. It’s hard to find the time but if I don’t, I’m more tired, I need to eat more – it affects me physically and mentally. I appeared on Dancing With the Stars this year and made it to week eight of 10 with no dance experience.

  • US Army Recruitment Advertising and Enlistment Motivation During The
    SCANDINAVIAN JOURNAL OF Fransen, M. (2019). Selling Military Service During Wartime: U.S. Army Recruitment MILITARY STUDIES Advertising and Enlistment Motivation During the War Against Terror. Scandinavian Journal of Military Studies, 2(1), pp. 178–192. DOI: https://doi.org/10.31374/sjms.12 RESEARCH ARTICLE Selling Military Service During Wartime: U.S. Army Recruitment Advertising and Enlistment Motivation During the War Against Terror Martin Fransen Independent scholar, DK [email protected] This article examines the coherence between the themes expressed in the U.S. Army’s recruit- ment advertisements and the enlistment motivation among American soldiers enlisting in the Army in the years 2001–2010, when the country was involved in two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively. Based on exploration of the prevalent research, the article begins by assess- ing the history of military recruitment and enlistment motivation in the United States after the introduction of the draft in 1917 and after the introduction of the All-Volunteer Force (AVF) in 1973. In this section, the article discusses the role of the Army’s recruitment advertising. Based on an analysis of selected interviews with Army veterans, the second part of the article aims to clarify the different motivations for enlisting in the U.S. Army between 2001 and 2010 and to compare these motivations with the contents of the Army’s recruitment advertisements at the time. The article argues that among the different reasons for enlisting, the feeling of duty to country remained a strong motivator throughout this period. Furthermore, the article argues that there was never complete consistency between the contents of the recruitment advertisements and the soldiers’ enlistment motivation.

  • October 2015
    DEPARTMENT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DEPARTMENT COMMANDER Jim Grosset After being elected your Department Commander, I went to Great Falls to help with the Revitalization of District 8. I found it to be very rewarding as it was an opportunity to get out and meet face to face with Legionnaires and find out why they had not renewed. It also gave me a chance to let them know what we could do for them and they could do for us. Shortly after, I had the sad duty of attending the funeral of Past Department Commander and dear friend Ralph Gardner in Lewistown. I had the opportunity to have lunch with Governor Steve Bullock in Calgary as he was in Calgary attending the Oil and Gas show. We met the new Lt Governor of Alberta Lois Mitchell and other local dignitaries. Then it was off to Helena for the AA American Legion Baseball State Tournament. I threw out the first pitch at the first game during the opening ceremonies. It was nice to watch the youth of two countries face off in competition; I did not pick any favorites. In August I traveled to Indianapolis for the membership workshop. It was informative and we all had a good time. My membership team and I met with Dale Barnett and gave him our plan. At the end of August, many of us traveled to Baltimore for the National Convention. We stayed in a very swanky hotel and were right next to the Camden Yards Baseball Stadium, you could see the field from the hotel window.
