Drawing together an acclaimed and exciting group of writers, artists, and thinkers from a range of fields—including film, music, television, politics, architecture, science, food, and literature—the Festival is New York City’s foremost cultural event of the season. This year, the New Yorker Festival will introduce Tech@Fest, a slate of programs on Friday, October 2nd, and Saturday, October 3rd, featuring innovators, engineers, artists, entrepreneurs, and disruptors discussing the radical implications of technological advancements and their potential to transform our world. Tech@Fest will take place in the Condé Nast photography studios at One World Trade Center, home of The New Yorker. Since the Festival’s inception, events have sold out quickly, drawing nearly twenty thousand people from around the world every year.

A cultural audit is a method of gaining a deeper understanding of priority audiences by understanding the pop culture narratives they consume. The project has two overarching goals. The first is to provide evidence-based insights to the foundation’s Voices for Economic Opportunity grantee cohort, a group of organizations who are designing new narratives of poverty to correct misconceptions and address systemic barriers to mobility. The second is to establish a baseline of existing narratives for longitudinal tracking by Harmony Labs, another foundation grantee. The formative research summarized in this report examines how poverty and wealth are constructed in the pop culture narratives in which media consumers are immersed — specifically scripted TV and film, popular music, and top-selling video games.1 In later stages, the Lear Center will expand this analysis to TV news and unscripted content.

  • Postfeminism and Urban Space Oddities in Broad City." Space Oddities: Difference and Identity in the American City
    Lahm, Sarah. "'Yas Queen': Postfeminism and Urban Space Oddities in Broad City." Space Oddities: Difference and Identity in the American City. Ed. Stefan L. Brandt and Michael Fuchs. Vienna: LIT Verlag, 2018. 161-177. ISBN 978-3-643-50797-6 (pb). "VAS QUEEN": POSTFEMINISM AND URBAN SPACE ODDITIES IN BROAD CITY SARAH LAHM Broad City's (Comedy Central, since 2014) season one episode "Working Girls" opens with one of the show's most iconic scenes: In the show's typical fashion, the main characters' daily routines are displayed in a split screen, as the scene underline the differ­ ences between the characters of Abbi and Ilana and the differ­ ent ways in which they interact with their urban environment. Abbi first bonds with an older man on the subway because they are reading the same book. However, when he tries to make ad­ vances, she rejects them and gets flipped off. In clear contrast to Abbi's experience during her commute to work, Ilana intrudes on someone else's personal space, as she has fallen asleep on the subway and is leaning (and drooling) on a woman sitting next to her (who does not seem to care). Later in the day, Abbi ends up giving her lunch to a homeless person who sits down next to her on a park bench, thus fitting into her role as the less assertive, more passive of the two main characters. Meanwhile, Ilana does not have lunch at all, but chooses to continue sleeping in the of­ ficebathroom, in which she smoked a joint earlier in the day.

  • Update to Comments of Internet Association
    Before the United States Copyright Office Washington, D.C. In re: Section 512 Study: May 9, 2019 Notice and Request for Public Comment Docket No. USCO-2015-7 UPDATE TO COMMENTS OF INTERNET ASSOCIATION Internet Association appreciates the opportunity to update its April 2016 comments1 on the Copyright Office’s study of Section 512 of the Copyright Act. The U.S. copyright system has a strong and innovation-oriented copyright framework that benefits consumers, protects creators’ rights, and enables innovation – including through the safe harbors and limitations and exceptions in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Internet Association (IA) represents over 40 of the world’s leading internet companies.2 IA is the only trade association that exclusively represents leading global internet companies on matters of public policy. IA’s mission is to foster innovation, promote economic growth, and empower people through the free and open internet. IA member companies are leading licensees, distributors and creators of copyrighted works, as well as platforms that allow people to distribute and share the copyrighted works they have created. IA filed comments with the U.S. Copyright Office (the Office) in 2016 in response to its request for comments and participated in the public round tables held by the Office in the same year. IA has consistently held the position that Section 512 creates a balanced system that supports diverse stakeholders, providing rights holders, creators, internet companies, technology industries, and users the tools necessary to grow a robust online ecosystem. The DMCA safe harbors have achieved the goal3 established by stakeholders and policy makers: the internet has survived and thrived, benefiting creators, the public, and internet companies.

  • STG-Turnout-Case-Study.Pdf
    CASE STUDY: We took a bold approach to building our national turnout map and focused on reaching voters long before Election Day, when most GOTV campaigns begin. We targeted voters in the “blue wall” states that had previously favored Democrats (Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin), and the increasingly competitive sun-belt states (Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina), whose changing demographics made them newly competitive. This specific turnout program, separate from our registration + persuasion programs, began in July 2020. Driven by internal research that showed our facts-first advertising was most likely to resonate with voters with lower political knowledge, we targeted left-leaning, low political knowledge voters who were infrequent voters or who had never voted before. ✅ 1.8 million low political knowledge left-leaning voters across AZ, GA, MI, NC, PA, WI ✅ 95% infrequent or new voters, 57% had never voted before ✅ 73% Women, 59% POC, 62% Under 35 Research showed that young, low propensity voters were unenthusiastic about voting in 2020 due to a dislike of politics, logistical issues, and a lack of knowledge of or interest in the candidates. 樂 HOWEVER, they retain some optimism: a majority believe the government can be improved despite its flaws, and believe politics can affect their lives 樂 Unfortunately, they are unlikely to think their individual vote affects policy/politics and are likely to believe they’re stuck with the problems past generations or others created 樂 They also had an enthusiasm and knowledge gap when it came to Biden. Our young, diverse audience spent significantly more time on social media + streaming sites.
