The biggest change 2012 has wrought may be an incremental and attitudinal one. We’ve passed a It’s producers, directors, tipping point on a key front: an acceptance that online audiences are not just a wayward group in need of distributors, deal makers, “conversion” to live TV, but a force to be reckoned with in terms of influence, growing size and frequency, and therefore deserving of unique digital strategies. agents, advertisers, buyers, I say this because a) networks are paying more attention to online viewers, b) advertisers are paying more sellers, programmers, VPs, attention to digital/mobile consumers, and c) content is always a handy bridge between the two camps’ EVPs, SVPs, some plain monetization goals. So eventually the two dots will connect in a new value equation. ole Ps, CEOs, CFOs, all On the monetization front, many of TV’s traditional big spenders are moving away from mass media image sorts of acronyms, actors, campaigns to more targeted, interactive and transactional tactics. Advertisers began spending money on editors, composers, techies, everything from apps to elaborate digital content builds, so the old barriers to embracing online viewers (rather than just trying to herd them into the broadcast eyeball corral) have eroded. equipment guys, lighting On the digital audience engagement front, while network video players still offer a paltry amount of specialists, hair dressers, episodes (seriously, we know there are rights issues, but when you’re up against Torrent sites, don’t give make-up artists, costume viewers a reason to look elsewhere), there are more signs of acknowledgment and even welcome, such as designers, cinematographers “watch more” invitations during ad breaks. and more. Digital content strategy is growing up as shows with transmedia trappings and robust social media programs have expanded from the teen demo – going beyond Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl to more mainstream fare.

  • 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.

  • 2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

  • Chapter 3 Heroines in a Time of War: Nelvana of the Northern Lights And
    Chapter 3 Heroines in a Time of War: Nelvana of the Northern Lights and Wonder Woman as Symbols of the United States and Canada Scores of superheroes emerged in comic books just in time to defend the United States and Canada from the evil machinations of super-villains, Hitler, Mussolini, and other World War II era enemies. By 1941, War Nurse Pat Parker, Miss America, Pat Patriot, and Miss Victory were but a few of the patriotic female characters who had appeared in comics to fight villains and promote the war effort. These characters had all but disappeared by 1946, a testament to their limited wartime relevance. Though Nelvana of the Northern Lights (hereafter “Nelvana”) and Wonder Woman first appeared alongside the others in 1941, they have proven to be more enduring superheroes than their crime-fighting colleagues. In particular, Nelvana was one of five comic book characters depicted in the 1995 Canada Post Comic Book Stamp Collection, and Wonder Woman was one of ten DC Comics superheroes featured in the 2006 United States Postal Service (USPS) Commemorative Stamp Series. The uniquely enduring iconic statuses of Nelvana and Wonder Woman result from their adventures and character development in the context of World War II and the political, social, and cultural climates in their respective English-speaking areas of North America. Through a comparative analysis of Wonder Woman and Nelvana, two of their 1942 adventures, and their subsequent deployment through government-issued postage stamps, I will demonstrate how the two characters embody and reinforce what Michael Billig terms “banal nationalism” in their respective national contexts.
