Over the years as new courses were added the institution was renamed as Malaspina College, and then as Malaspina University-College in recognition of new abilities to offer degree programs (VIU, 2018-b). The institution was renamed as Vancouver Island University in 2008 (VIU, 2018-a; VIU, 2018-b). Today, the University consists of four campuses located on the west coast of British Columbia (BC). Three campuses, Nanaimo, Parksville- Qualicum, and Cowichan, are located on the east coast of Vancouver Island, and the fourth is located on mainland BC in Powell River (VIU, 2018-c). VIU campuses are located within the unceded territories of Coast Salish First Nations – Powell River, within Tla’amin First Nation territory (Tla’amin Nation, 2018), Parksville-Qualicum Centre within the Snaw-naw-as First Nation territory (VIU, 2018-b), Cowichan within Cowichan Tribes territories, and Nanaimo, VIU’s main campus, within Snuneymuxw First Nation territory (VIU, 2018-c). VIU prides itself in being a place that contributes to stronger and healthier communities through fair access, the provision of regionally-relevant programming, and a focus on student and staff achievement (VIU, 2018-b). In order to realize this, VIU is constantly reviewing its current sustainability status and seeking ways to continually improve, ever increasing the view of VIU as a desirable place to work and learn (VIU, 2018-e, Policy 11.02). The United Nations & the Sustainable Development Goals The United Nations (UN) was established in 1945 and is an international organization comprised of 193 member states (United Nations, 2018-a). The work of the UN is guided by its founding charter, which outlines how the UN will take action on global issues relating to sustainability, human rights, climate change, and food production (United Nations, 2018-a). In 2000, the UN developed eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which were intended to be globally achieved by 2015 (World Health Organization [WHO], 2018-a). The purpose of the MDGs was to commit “world leaders to [combating] poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation, and discrimination against women” (United Nations, 2018-b, para. 1). In 2015, the UN gathered at a 3- day summit to update the MDGs in an effort to “call for action by all countries, poor, rich and middle- income to promote prosperity while protecting the planet” (United Nations, 2018-c, para. 3). The summit was held at the UN headquarters in New York City and was considered a historic opportunity, bringing together over 150 world leaders to collaborate on the development of new goals that would improve the quality of life for all people (WHO, 2018-b). These new Goals

  • Snapshot an Extraordinary Shift in Media Behaviour Patterns During an Extraordinary Time
    April 2020 Global Digital Subscription Snapshot An extraordinary shift in media behaviour patterns during an extraordinary time The arrival of the Coronavirus has brought about a dramatic shift in media behaviour globally. As people’s freedom of movement is severely restricted, they have flocked to high-quality content providers as they seek out entertainment, escapism, inspiration and trustworthy news coverage. Since its inception, the Global Digital Subscription Snapshot has served as a celebration of the success achieved by publishers in finding new revenue streams and expanding audiences paying for high-quality, curated content in the digital era. In this report, we continue to do so but have to acknowledge the extraordinary circumstances contributing to success at the moment. The extreme limitations imposed on the ways and means in which people can spend their time and money has translated into a surge in people consuming more content online. Interestingly, it has also highlighted the role that high-quality content has to play in people’s lives as they return to established content brands for trusted content. While we expect behaviour patterns to shift again once the pandemic recedes, the current situation does provide an unprecedented opportunity for publishers and streaming services to connect with, engage and nurture new audiences. The increased use of video streaming services has been widely reported in recent weeks. Since February alone, Disney+ has added 20 million new subscribers taking its subscriber base to 50 million. On the back of this, the company is close to hitting subscription targets it originally set for 2024. While publishers are yet to release digital subscription figures which shows their performance since lockdowns started, internet traffic numbers hint that local news publishers might be the biggest beneficiaries of changing internet behaviour.

  • INDIAN OTT LANDSCAPE a Survey Report by Vidooly
    INDIAN OTT LANDSCAPE A Survey Report by Vidooly Video Intelligence & Cross Platform Analytics Software INTRODUCTION The increasing popularity of OTT Platforms in India is no more a secret. While Hotstar, Netflix and Amazon Prime have become established names in the industry, we also have new entrants such as AppleTV+ and Flipkart Videos marking their debut. With 30+ platforms competing to build a subscriber base, they are experimenting with newer way to please their audience. With the help of big data, platforms are devising ways of personalizing their user experience. Innovations such as voice tags, augmented and virtual reality, 360 degree viewing and blockchain technology are also getting intensely explored. The pace at which the industry is transforming, makes it indispensable for the platforms to evolve continuously. Other than recognizing consumer’s changing preferences and their need of personalized experiences, brands also realize their price-sensitive nature. This has led to the provision of multiple screens and introduction of cheaper subscription plans by these platforms in order to fit consumers’ pockets. Undisrupted 4G connectivity has played a major role in enabling the online content consumption, that too, at viewers’ ease. Not only has it made internet accessible but also affordable, thus driving the user-spends towards other means of entertainment - in this case – Video-on-Demand Platforms. The penetration of internet in rural areas has also soared, resulting in a higher demand of regional content on these platforms. There’s no second guessing in the fact that the OTT industry is going to be the face of Media & Entertainment Industry in the coming years.

Este fenómeno corresponde ao trabalho de equipas amadoras especializadas na tradução para legendagem predominantemente em inglês de desenhos animados japoneses (“anime”), que é disponibilizado gratuitamente na Internet. Este estudo centrar-se-á nas traduções para inglês quer porque se tratam de traduções directas do japonês quer porque, por este motivo, são reconhecidas pela comunidade de fãs como o modelo a seguir no “fansubbing” em outras línguas. Sendo um fenómeno grupal relativamente recente, o primeiro capítulo deste trabalho dedica uma breve apresentação aos motivos que conduziram ao aparecimento do “fansubbing”, aos participantes envolvidos nesta actividade e às etapas de produção da mesma. Tecem-se, também, algumas considerações acerca da ética do “fansubbing”. No segundo capítulo, é apresentado o corpus constituído para este trabalho: electrónico, paralelo e alinhado com um texto audiovisual de partida, em japonês, e três textos audiovisuais de chegada, em inglês, pertencentes a grupos de “fansubbing” distintos.

Salemba Raya No. 4, Jakarta Pusat 10430 Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The advancement of technology and society has led to innovations, including in the field of media. Media convergence has given birth to a novel audiovisual medium called Video-on- Demand (VOD), which combined the logics of television, film, home video, the internet, as well as technology. This conceptual research applied a literature review method to discuss the journey of the logic of watching television with a specific schedule and a particular medium to the understanding that television, after all, is just an artifact. The paper also discussed new habits that are developed due to the birth of VOD and how VOD branding worked. This research aimed to look at how the development of media convergence in the form of VOD brought new trends, especially in Indonesia. The paper concluded that many new opportunities were ready to be utilized by VOD platforms to develop their content and reach Indonesian audiences. However, it was also necessary to consider that Indonesia’s regulations still were not utterly supporting the development of VOD.
