Major changes include the development of technology which enables digital publishing, distribution and retailing; the entry of disruptive players including Amazon, Google and Apple; the introduction of hand- held digital reading platforms and devices; upheavals in the bricks and mortar retailing sector; and the rise of online and social media as important channels for promoting books. Education publishers are also affected by disruption taking place in the education sector itself, further complicating their business models and operations. To date there has been little systematic examination of the responses of Australian publishers to change and the ways in which traditional publishers are experimenting and innovating, both as defensive responses and initiating change themselves.

Beyond any- thing, beyond labels of sexuality and gender, people of the LGBTQ+ community wish to be addressed as noth- ing less than equal in the workplace, in marriage, and in every other facet of society. However, many LGBTQ+ people still consistently face discrimination throughout their everyday lives, from demeaning jokes and stereo- types to the denial of their basic human rights. Many feel the need to conceal their identities, and as a result they become hidden in plain sight. Seeing the LGBTQ+ student population at LGHS and in the world at large, we, the PAWS staff, decided to highlight the LGBTQ+ community and the struggles they face, both in realizing their own identities and in con- fronting the subsequent societal pressures.

  • Youtube Celebrity Video Bloggers and Lesbian and Gay Identity
    ‘Is every YouTuber going to make a coming out video eventually?’: YouTube celebrity video bloggers and lesbian and gay identity Michael Lovelock, University of East Anglia Post-print manuscript accepted for publication in Celebrity Studies. Doi: Forthcoming The research for this article was funded by a Doctoral Studentship grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council. A significant number of YouTube celebrity video bloggers (vloggers) have used the platform to come out publicly as lesbian or gay. This article interrogates the cultural work of YouTube celebrity coming outs, through the case studies of two of the most prominent gay vloggers: Ingrid Nilsen and Connor Franta. This article explores how the coming out moments of these vloggers, as articulated in their coming out vlogs and the wider media discourses surrounding these, make legible a normative gay youth subject position which is shaped by the specific tropes, conventions and commercial rationale of YouTube fame itself. I define this subject position as 'proto-homonormative.' It positions a "successful" gay adulthood, defined through the neoliberal ideals of authenticity, self-branding and individual enterprise bound to the phenomenon of YouTube celebrity, as contingent upon a particular personal relationship with one's non-normative sexuality. I interrogate how the emotional contours of Nilsen and Franta’s coming out narratives, their represented abilities to channel their non-normative sexualities into lucrative celebrity brands, and their construction as gay and lesbian ‘role models’ by the mainstream media, delineates a journey into "acceptance" and "pride" in one's gay sexuality as the expected narrative of contemporary gay life. This narrative, I argue, cements the default normativity of heterosexuality in mainstream culture, and produces a narrow framework of “acceptable” gay youth subjectivity which is aligned with the ideals of neoliberalism embodied in the figure of the YouTube celebrity vlogger.
