  • Gossip Girl Viral Promotion Problem Statement
    Group 4 - Round Table Media Case 14-1: Gossip Girl Viral Promotion Problem Statement: The CW’s show Gossip Girl has lost live viewers, which decreases the value of the advertising spots available during the show. The network seeks to increase live viewership by incentivizing viewers via a creative, viral campaign to watch Gossip Girl live instead of recording the show and watching it later. Critical Factors: A. The primary target market for this campaign is women, 18-24 years of age. The CW is the only network capturing women in this target. The secondary target market is college males. B. Increased use of digital video recorders, websites streaming television shows, and services like DirecTV and Tivo means that viewers are choosing to record shows and watch them later, and can fast forward through commercials.1 C. The CW has requested this campaign be a non-traditional and outside-the-box publicity and promotional campaign. The CW network executives highly admired Jack in the Box’s “Hang in There Jack” campaign and its use of non-traditional media. D. The CW Network has fourteen weeks to launch a viral Gossip Girl media campaign before the next season premiere, then the campaign will continue while Gossip Girl airs. E. Gossip Girl emphasizes fashion and technology, and is influential in these industries. F. The success of the promotional campaign will be measured by changes in ratings during the time of the campaign, and hopefully will result in a significant increase in ratings. G. Gossip Girl is one of The CW’s most popular series, so it is understood that we are working with a large budget.

  • We Are All Gossip Girl”: Gossip Girl and the Promise of Interactive Television
    PREVIOUSLY ON “We are all Gossip Girl”: Gossip Girl and the Promise of Interactive Television Elisa Lange In November 2010, Current TV, a cable network founded by former Vice President Al Gore, has started airing a 30 minute TV series called Bar Karma, which is created in online collaboration with fans and is thus a new step to truly participatory and interactive TV. On a website users can pitch storylines, comment on submitted entries, talk to the producers, and contribute marketing ideas. The show is co-produced by SimCity creator Will Wright and features well-known actors like William Sanderson (http://current.com/studios/about/). Of course, there is no guarantee that the fans’ story idea will find its way into the actual show since the producers and writers still hold the power to decide how and if a pitch is worked into the final product. Still, this project allows viewer to have more than an imaginary control over the televised narrative even if the project’s success still remains to be seen. Still, interactivity rarely plays out on the primary level of the TV program itself, but more commonly on the secondary level and tertiary level of the televisual text, that is network created websites that allow some contributions from fans and unregulated communications between fans (Fiske, 1983: 85). Interactivity within the TV landscape is often associated with the viewers’ ability to turn from passive consumers into active producers of content that “adds” to the televised narrative but does not change it (Hassapopoulou, 2010: 48). This distinction usually does not to take into account that even when viewers are passively sitting on their couch watching soap operas, their minds are still actively engaged in making sense of the narratives and relationships.

  • Gossip Girl Relevant Background Information Actors Artifacts
    Assignment One Lauren Ferrell Gossip Girl Relevant Background Information The show is set in New York City on the Upper East Side in the year 2007-2008. Some important locations in this series is: Grand Central train station where Serena van der Woodsen arrives at, Brooklyn where Dan Humphrey lives, Constance which is the school that they all attend, and a party venue in the Upper East Side where Blair Waldorf has the Kiss on the Lips party. The series is based off of the book series by Cecily von Ziegesar. The first observation that I did is on the first show in the series titled ‘Pilot’. The second observation that I did was on the second show in the series titled ‘The Wild Brunch’. Finally, the third observation I did was on the third show in the series titled ‘Poison Ivy’. Actors ❖ Serena van der Woodsen is the main character of the show. The ‘it’ girl of the Upper East Side. Serena left town the year before and when she shows back up everyone is trying to figure out why she ever left in the first place. Mistakes from her past are haunting her and she is now back and trying to make amends with everyone and forget about everything she did in her past. She is worried about her brother and the relationship she has with Blair Waldorf, her best friend. ❖ Dan Humphrey is considered the outsider character because he is not rich or considered important like everyone else. Serena van der Woodsen is his main focus, whom he has had a crush on for years.

  • ABSTRACT the Experience of Depression Among Baylor Undergraduates: a Phenomenological Interview Study Marlee Vandergrift Directo
    ABSTRACT The Experience of Depression Among Baylor Undergraduates: A Phenomenological Interview Study Marlee Vandergrift Director: Rishi Sriram, Ph.D. The experience of depression is prevalent among college students. This mental health disorder is concerning because of its impact on students’ social and emotional well-being, academic achievement, retention, and physical health. Because of the unique opportunity to intervene in students’ whole lives at such a transformative period, colleges should invest in students’ overall development, including mental health. This study aims to better comprehend the lived experience of having depression as a Baylor undergraduate so that services may become better tailored for this particular intersection of identity and experiences. Using a phenomenological interview study and qualitative coding analysis, the PI found that Baylor undergraduates who have been diagnosed with depression share some symptomatic and therapeutic history. Unique stories of factors in the college environment that were helpful and hurtful as the participants learned to cope with their diagnoses are also key to this paper’s findings.
