Alexa and Hearst Team up on 'Voice-First' Brand Iphone X: Yes November 13, 2017 | Vol. 70 No. 44 Read more at: minonline.com Alexa and Hearst Team Up on ‘Voice-First’ Brand Magazine media is finding a number of pioneering use cases for ambient computing. What if publishers started programming the new generation of audio assistants as a kind of hybrid of daily news, on demand radio/podcasting and information resource? That's the sort of experiment Hearst recently launched for the Amazon Echo with its “My Beauty Chat” voice-first brand. Once the skill is enabled, asking Alexa to open the app offers you a choice of hearing a morning or afternoon 5-10 minute beauty program or a tip of the day. With launch support from sole sponsor L’Oreal, Hearst is programming this project aggressively, with two daily shows (one available before 4 p.m. and the other after) as well as a daily beauty tip. Why twice a day and at those times? “We looked at behaviors people have in their day,” Chris Papaleo, Hearst's executive director of emerging technology tells min. Women are in the bathroom in the morning getting ready for the day and at night washing up and winding down. “The beauty regimen occurs in people’s lives at those times,” he says. Continued on page 5 iPhone X: Yes, You Should Care Apple's latest tech offers media companies direction about the future of mobility. Once you get beyond the fanboy gushing around the iPhone X, early adapters need to consider what actual trends Apple is accelerating with this 10th anniversary device. A decade after kickstarting the smartphone revolution, Apple continues to be the company that doesn’t invent new tech so much as coronate the ones that will matter. Whatever else can be said about the iPhone X, it's the first smartphone in many years that offers media companies some clear direction about where mobility is headed. Animojis Matter. Don’t diminish the importance of those cute animated emojis that synch with the user’s facial movements. They aren't a feature so much as a demo of something much, much bigger.

Phew! -Greg Dool 2 Magazine Media’s Most Trusted Source Since 1947 11/13/2017 minonline.com STEAL THIS IDEA Two Studies Reveal Data You Should Know #1 A staggering 46.2 million of TV and desktop and mobile screen viewers access content that's related to what they watch on TV, according to research from eMarketer. It’s important to note here that 177.7 million adults use two screens simultaneously in their living rooms. Magazine media has only just begun to exploit this white space. Hosted live TV group chats, red carpet coverage and recaps are the low- hanging fruit. Keep in mind that these second screens are also real-time notification channels that people are monitoring as they watch the primary screen. Online media can leverage mobile and web alerts, especially email, to pull people into paral- lel programming. Publishers should consider the changing contexts of media consumption and how both live and evergreen content relates to content their core audience is likely watching during prime time. -Bottom Line: Real-time, multi-screen media consumption invites a range of media sources to become active participants in audiences’ complex new patterns of absorbing content. #2 The best native ad experience might not come from where you'd expect. According to researcher Survata, 22% of users, ages 18-24, cited Instagram for having the most engaging ad content. Interestingly, Google (21%) was right behind in preferences, while Facebook (17%) was less popular. Snapchat (14%) may be struggling because of its increased reliance on programmatic ad insertions. Meanwhile, YouTube (11%) gets less love, despite its ad skipping feature. Pinterest (8%) and Twitter (7%) may be off the radar relative to the larger platforms.

  • Anti-Racism Resources
    Anti-Racism Resources Prepared for and by: The First Church in Oberlin United Church of Christ Part I: Statements Why Black Lives Matter: Statement of the United Church of Christ Our faith's teachings tell us that each person is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and therefore has intrinsic worth and value. So why when Jesus proclaimed good news to the poor, release to the jailed, sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed (Luke 4:16-19) did he not mention the rich, the prison-owners, the sighted and the oppressors? What conclusion are we to draw from this? Doesn't Jesus care about all lives? Black lives matter. This is an obvious truth in light of God's love for all God's children. But this has not been the experience for many in the U.S. In recent years, young black males were 21 times more likely to be shot dead by police than their white counterparts. Black women in crisis are often met with deadly force. Transgender people of color face greatly elevated negative outcomes in every area of life. When Black lives are systemically devalued by society, our outrage justifiably insists that attention be focused on Black lives. When a church claims boldly "Black Lives Matter" at this moment, it chooses to show up intentionally against all given societal values of supremacy and superiority or common-sense complacency. By insisting on the intrinsic worth of all human beings, Jesus models for us how God loves justly, and how his disciples can love publicly in a world of inequality.

While immaturity’s otherness to heteronormative adulthood is a source of fear and anxiety, this otherness is also what makes it desirable–that is, immaturity represents an escape from the pressures and standards of adulthood, signifying an oppositional subjectivity reminiscent of youthful rebellion. Indeed, the oppositional nature of immaturity is ultimately what gives it power as a source of political agency.
