Today I’m here in New York and joined by Lydia Polgreen, editor-in-chief of HuffPost. Appointed in 2016, she previously spent 15 years at the New York Times where she served as foreign correspondent in Africa and Asia. She received numerous awards for her work, including a George Polk award for her coverage of ethnic violence in Darfur in 2006. Lydia carried out a number of roles at the Times, most recently as editorial director of NYT global. She’s also a board member at Columbia Journalism Review, and the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Well, I think past is prologue and the future is unknown. Oh, that’s good. I like that already. We’re starting off on the deeply profound. Continue! Well, I think for media right now, it’s a really fascinating moment of both rediscovery of our roots – and those roots really lie in what’s at the core of journalism, which is exposing things that weren’t meant to be known, or that people, important people especially, don’t want to be known, and bringing them to light.

This article explores conscious, instrumental interactions with algorithms, as a window into the complexities and extent of algorithmic power. Through a thematic analysis of online discussions among Instagram influencers, I observed that influencers’ pursuit of influence resembles a game constructed around “rules” encoded in algorithms. Within the “visibility game,” influencers’ interpretations of Instagram’s algorithmic architecture—and the “game” more broadly—act as a lens through which to view and mechanize the rules of the game. Illustrating this point, this article describes two prominent interpretations, which combine information influencers glean about Instagram’s algorithms with preexisting discourses within influencer communities on authenticity and entrepreneurship. This article shows how directing inquiries toward the visibility game makes present the interdependency between users, algorithms, and platform owners and demonstrates how algorithms structure, but do not unilaterally determine user

This book is the first of its kind to take stock of this emerging multi-disciplinary field by synthesizing what we know, identifying what we do not know and obstacles to future research, and charting a course for the future inquiry. Chapters by leading scholars cover major topics – from disinformation to hate speech to political advertising – and situate recent developments in the context of key policy questions. In addition, the book canvasses existing reform proposals in order to address widely perceived threats that social media poses to democracy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. Nathaniel Persily is the James B. McClatchy Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and the Co-Director of the Stanford Cyber Policy Center and Stanford Project on Democracy and the Internet. His scholarship focuses on the law and technology of democracy.

  • | 2020 ARF David Ogilvy Awards - Winning Case Summary
    Award Designation and Category: Retail & Restaurants Campaign Title: BuzzFeed + Petco Nutrition Year the campaign took place: 2019 Brand: Petco Creative Agency: BuzzFeed, Anomaly, CRONY Media Company/Agency: Horizon Media Research Company: comScore, Kantar, Placed Powered by Foursquare Additional Affiliated Companies: BuzzFeed Summary of the marketing challenge, methodology, insight discovered, creative execution and business impact. BuzzFeed and Petco educated pet parents on the crucial role nutrition plays in helping maintain their furry friends’ health and wellness. Together we demonstrated Petco’s commitment to better pet nutrition standards via high-impact custom video, quiz content and an experiential pop-up. The campaign led to increased intent among pet parents to purchase nutritious brands offered at Petco and elevated foot traffic to Petco stores. Consumer Insight Pet parents prioritize their pets’ overall happiness and health, splurging on their pets above themselves. 1 | 2020 ARF David Ogilvy Awards - Winning Case Summary Marketing Challenge In May 2019, Petco announced they had made good on their November 2018 promise to no longer sell food and treats containing artificial colors, flavors and preservatives* for dogs and cats. By removing dog and cat food products that do not meet their nutrition standards and potentially impacting more than $100 million in annual sales, Petco reaffirmed the company’s commitment to overall pet health and wellness. With this change came the ultimate question – How can we connect deeply with pet parents on our nutrition purpose so that they re-appraise Petco as the go-to destination for their pets’ food? Petco was eager to position itself as pet parents’ most trusted partner in caring for their pets’ overall health and wellness, starting with pet nutrition.

  • TRANSCULTURAL SPACES in SUBCULTURE: an Examination of Multicultural Dynamics in the Japanese Visual Kei Movement
    TRANSCULTURAL SPACES IN SUBCULTURE: An examination of multicultural dynamics in the Japanese visual kei movement Hayley Maxime Bhola 5615A031-9 January 10, 2017 A master’s thesis submitted to the Graduate School of International Culture and Communication Studies Waseda University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts TRANSCULTURAL SPACES IN SUBCULTURE 2 Abstract of the Dissertation The purpose of this dissertation was to examine Japanese visual kei subculture through the theoretical lens of transculturation. Visual kei (ヴィジュアル系) is a music based subculture that formed in the late 1980’s in Japan with bands like X Japan, COLOR and Glay. Bands are recognized by their flamboyant (often androgynous appearances) as well as their theatrical per- formances. Transculturation is a term originally coined by ethnographer Fernando Ortiz in re- sponse to the cultural exchange that took place during the era of colonization in Cuba. It de- scribes the process of cultural exchange in a way that implies mutual action and a more even dis- tribution of power and control over the process itself. This thesis looked at transculturation as it relates to visual kei in two main parts. The first was expositional: looking at visual kei and the musicians that fall under the genre as a product of transculturation between Japanese and non- Japanese culture. The second part was an effort to label visual kei as a transcultural space that is able to continue the process of transculturation by fostering cultural exchange and development among members within the subculture in Japan. Chapter 1 gave a brief overview of the thesis and explains the motivation behind conduct- ing the research.
