Content Taxonomy V2.0 IAB Technology Laboratory Content Taxonomy v2.0 IAB Technology Laboratory CONTENT TAXONOMY v2.0 Tier 1 – Tier 2 Categories © 2017 IAB Technology Laboratory Content Taxonomy v2.0 IAB Technology Laboratory Introduction The Taxonomy and Mapping Work Group assembled in April 2016 to identify industry taxonomies in need of updating for companies interested in expanded categorization of content, advertising products, and audience segmentation. The IAB Tech Lab Content Taxonomy, previously known as the QAG Taxonomy, was developed in consultation with taxonomy experts, measurement companies, and members of the IAB Technology Laboratory in order to develop a standard content taxonomy. This taxonomy will be leveraged by publishers & advertisers for describing the topics of page content and site content with the primary purpose of facilitating relevant, brand safe and effective advertising. The taxonomy also serves secondary purposes of audience analysis and development. This document is a summarization of Tier 1 and Tier 2 categories, released in January of 2017; this is the culmination of the working group efforts and can be found at: https://iabtechlab.com/content-taxonomy/ About the IAB Technology Lab The IAB Technology Laboratory is a nonprofit research and development consortium charged with producing and helping companies implement global industry technical standards and solutions. The goal of the Tech Lab is to reduce friction associated with the digital advertising and marketing supply chain while contributing to the safe growth of an industry. The IAB Tech Lab spearheads the development of technical standards, creates and maintains a code library to assist in rapid, cost-effective implementation of IAB standards, and establishes a test platform for companies to evaluate the compatibility of their technology solutions with IAB standards, which for 18 years have been the foundation for interoperability and profitable growth in the digital advertising supply chain.

  • Art to Commerce: the Trajectory of Popular Music Criticism
    Art to Commerce: The Trajectory of Popular Music Criticism Thomas Conner and Steve Jones University of Illinois at Chicago [email protected] / [email protected] Abstract This article reports the results of a content and textual analysis of popular music criticism from the 1960s to the 2000s to discern the extent to which criticism has shifted focus from matters of music to matters of business. In part, we believe such a shift to be due likely to increased awareness among journalists and fans of the industrial nature of popular music production, distribution and consumption, and to the disruption of the music industry that began in the late 1990s with the widespread use of the Internet for file sharing. Searching and sorting the Rock’s Backpages database of over 22,000 pieces of music journalism for keywords associated with the business, economics and commercial aspects of popular music, we found several periods during which popular music criticism’s focus on business-related concerns seemed to have increased. The article discusses possible reasons for the increases as well as methods for analyzing a large corpus of popular music criticism texts. Keywords: music journalism, popular music criticism, rock criticism, Rock’s Backpages Though scant scholarship directly addresses this subject, music journalists and bloggers have identified a trend in recent years toward commerce-specific framing when writing about artists, recording and performance. Most music journalists, according to Willoughby (2011), “are writing quasi shareholder reports that chart the movements of artists’ commercial careers” instead of artistic criticism. While there may be many reasons for such a trend, such as the Internet’s rise to prominence not only as a medium for distribution of music but also as a medium for distribution of information about music, might it be possible to discern such a trend? Our goal with the research reported here was an attempt to empirically determine whether such a trend exists and, if so, the extent to which it does.

  • One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and Their Fans
    One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and their Fans Annie Lyons TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin December 2020 __________________________________________ Renita Coleman Department of Journalism Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Hannah Lewis Department of Musicology Second Reader 2 ABSTRACT Author: Annie Lyons Title: One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and their Fans Supervising Professors: Renita Coleman, Ph.D. Hannah Lewis, Ph.D. Boy bands have long been disparaged in music journalism settings, largely in part to their close association with hordes of screaming teenage and prepubescent girls. As rock journalism evolved in the 1960s and 1970s, so did two dismissive and misogynistic stereotypes about female fans: groupies and teenyboppers (Coates, 2003). While groupies were scorned in rock circles for their perceived hypersexuality, teenyboppers, who we can consider an umbrella term including boy band fanbases, were defined by a lack of sexuality and viewed as shallow, immature and prone to hysteria, and ridiculed as hall markers of bad taste, despite being driving forces in commercial markets (Ewens, 2020; Sherman, 2020). Similarly, boy bands have been disdained for their perceived femininity and viewed as inauthentic compared to “real” artists— namely, hypermasculine male rock artists. While the boy band genre has evolved and experienced different eras, depictions of both the bands and their fans have stagnated in media, relying on these old stereotypes (Duffett, 2012). This paper aimed to investigate to what extent modern boy bands are portrayed differently from non-boy bands in music journalism through a quantitative content analysis coding articles for certain tropes and themes.

  • A Sociological Analysis of Christian Contemporary Music and Aural Piety
    “FAITH COMES BY HEARING”: A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF CHRISTIAN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC AND AURAL PIETY __________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board __________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Courtney Sorrell Tepera August 2017 Examining Committee Members: Lucy Bregman, Advisory Chair, TU Department of Religion Terry Rey, TU Department of Religion David Harrington Watt, TU Department of History Dustin Kidd, External Member, TU Department of Sociology © Copyright 2017 by Courtney Suzanne Sorrell Tepera ____________________________ All rights reserved iii ABSTRACT Over the past fifty years, Christian contemporary music has joined hymnody and psalmody as a major form of evangelical liturgical and devotional song. While the production and content of this genre have been explored by scholars, few studies have attended to the devotional use of the genre and its role in shaping the religious lives of American evangelicals. This project draws from several sets of data to address this matter: analysis of church-created worship music albums, listener testimonials on Christian radio websites, and focus group interviews of laity and clergy at four South Carolina churches. The data revealed that music is significant to their religious lives outside of church as a means of encountering God, managing emotions, and displaying spiritual capital. Inside churches, the music is used to create a sense of corporate identity that reinforces social bonds within the community and attracts newcomers. Drawing on the methodological framework of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice and his work on social distinction, I argue that American evangelicals who listen to Christian contemporary music are engaged in aural piety, a set of practices, attitudes, and ideas invested in music that structure and evoke the experience of the sacred.

  • Musical Preferences, Personality Traits and Spotify Features
    MUSICAL PREFERENCES, PERSONALITY TRAITS AND SPOTIFY FEATURES Sem Kaylee Dekkers 10555943 University of Amsterdam Master of Arts: Thesis 0 th 15 August J.A. Burgoyne Introduction I like to think I present an innocuous, well-socialized face to the world – nothing for anyone to worry about. But if you know that I like [alternative music] then you know a little something else about me. You've gotten a new data point. If you have all of my songs, the points coalesce to form a picture, an intimate one that doesn't quite match the public persona (Schwarz, 2004).1 Music is everywhere around us. If we walk into our local grocers, shops, gym, when we turn on our radio during a car ride, even when we pay a visit to our dentist. In short, music is a ubiquitous phenomenon. One common use of music in today's society is enjoyment and aesthetic appreciation (Kohut & Levarie, 1950). Music is also the center of many social activities, concerts, dancing, singing such as choirs, and even in most social gatherings. Music may not always be the primary focus, but it is certainly an essential component – for example, try to imagine Christmas Eve without Christmas carols. Another common use is music's ability to inspire dance and physical movement (Dwyer, 1995; Large, 2000; Ronström, 1999). Music also satisfys a number of needs beyond social context; a personal music selection can serve as a tool to shape their physical and social environments to reinforce their dispositions and self-views (Buss, 1987; Gosling, Ko, Mannarelli, & Morris, 2002; Snyder & Ickers,

  • About Radio Formats a Format Document Sets out the Type of Broadcast Output That Each Commercial Radio Station Is Required to Deliver
    About radio formats A Format document sets out the type of broadcast output that each commercial radio station is required to deliver. It encapsulates the character of the service a station is obliged to deliver as a condition of its licence. This document provides a general explanation of what Formats mean, and especially what they mean in light of their simplification following Ofcom's Future of Radio projects in 2007 and 2008. Background As a result of our Future of Radio work, most local commercial radio stations had their Formats simplified. Previously, Formats contained a headline or essential character of service, followed by a number of points of detail a station had to comply with to deliver that Format. Most have now had that detail removed. Stations still have to comply with the same headline or essential character of service: that substantive obligation did not change and has not changed. But, they do not necessarily have to do all the specific things the previous detail required. The way Ofcom measures compliance with the character of service contained in the Format has changed. What this means is explained in more detail below. Future of Radio We first proposed the simplification of Formats in the Future of Radio consultation in April 2007 (-1-). We said, " Effectively this proposal would see the Character of Service retained but all of the detail would be removed." In the Future of Radio Further Consultation and Statement in November 2007 (-2-) we decided: Analogue local commercial radio station Formats will be streamlined to bring them into line with the level of detail in DAB Formats.
