    Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Por más de cuatro décadas Patricia Phelps de Cisneros ha sido promotora de la educación y del arte, con un enfoque particular en América Latina. En la década de los setenta estableció, junto con su esposo Gustavo Cisneros, la Fundación Cisneros con sede en Caracas y Nueva York. La misión de la Fundación es contribuir a la educación en América Latina y dar a conocer el patrimonio cultural latinoamericano y sus múltiples contribuciones a la cultura global. La Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, fundada a principios de la década de los noventa, es la principal iniciativa cultural de la Fundación Cisneros. Primeras influencias, trabajo y educación William Henry Phelps (1875-1965), bisabuelo de Patricia Cisneros, emprendió una expedición ornitológica en Venezuela, tras concluir su tercer año de licenciatura en la Universidad de Harvard. En ese viaje se enamoró del país y, al concluir sus estudios, regresó para asentarse permanentemente en el país. Phelps fue el gran emprendedor de su época, desarrollando prácticas modernas de negocios y estableciendo varias compañías, desde emisoras de televisión y estaciones de radio hasta importadoras de automóviles, refrigeradores, victrolas, máquinas de escribir, además que fue pionero en introducir el gusto por el béisbol en el país. Creó también la primera fundación en Venezuela. Su profundo interés por las ciencias naturales lo llevó a convertirse en un notable ornitólogo, a catalogar muchas especies aviarias de Suramérica y a publicar sus descubrimientos junto a su mentor, el científico Frank M. Chapman, en el Museo de Historia Natural de Nueva York (AMNH por sus siglas en inglés).

  • Q2 2020 Letter to Shareholders
    July 16, 2020 Fellow shareholders, We live in uncertain times with restrictions on what we can do socially and many people are turning to entertainment for relaxation, connection, comfort and stimulation. In Q1 and Q2, we saw significant pull-forward of our underlying adoption leading to huge growth in the first half of this year (26 million paid net adds vs. prior year of 12 million). As a result, we expect less growth for the second half of 2020 compared to the prior year. As we navigate these turbulent circumstances, we’re focused on our members by continuing to improve the quality of our service and bringing new films and shows to people's screens. Our Q2 summary results and forecast for Q3 are in the table below. Ted Sarandos appointed co-CEO and elected to Board of Directors Ted joined Netflix over 20 years ago, and we are thrilled to appoint him to be co-CEO with Reed. “Ted has been my partner for decades. This change makes formal what was already informal -- that Ted and I share the leadership of Netflix,” says Hastings. Lead Independent director Jay Hoag says “Having watched Reed and Ted work together for so long, the board and I are confident this is the right step to evolve Netflix’s management structure so that we can continue to best serve our members and shareholders for years to come.” 1 Ted will also continue to serve as Chief Content Officer. In addition, Greg Peters has been appointed COO adding to his Chief Product Officer role.

  • Read More About Sheryl Sandberg by Jessica Wang
    Jessica Wang on Sheryl Sandberg Sheryl Sandberg is currently the COO of Facebook, one of the first employees at Google, and was ranked in 2011 by Forbes as the 5th Most Powerful Woman in the World. Born in 1969, Sandberg grew up in North Miami Beach and attended Harvard where she majored in Economics. During her time at Harvard, she caught the attention of one of her professors, Larry Summers, who volunteered to serve as her thesis adviser. Sandberg graduated first in the economics department, and eventually went on to work for Summers at the World Bank. After two years there, she went to Harvard Business School, worked at McKinsey for a year, then went back to work as chief of staff for Summers, who was now Deputy Treasury Secretary under the Clinton Administration. In 2001, Sandberg joined Google after being convinced by Eric Schmidt to get on the “rocket ship”. While there, she took over AdWords and AdSense and made both products wildly profitable. She also oversaw AOL’s deal with Google in 2002 to make it AOL’s primary search engine. Eventually, Sandberg tried for the COO position at Google but couldn’t get it, and began talking to Mark Zuckerberg about Facebook. She joined Facebook as COO in 2008. One of the cornerstones of Sandberg’s life and advice to her mentees is Acting with Authenticity when it comes to choosing a profession – doing something you truly love. If this is not in place, then all domains of one’s life will suffer. Sandberg left her job at McKinsey, and then later at Google, when she felt that she was no longer passionate about her work or making an impact.

Fox Sports, Fox Sports 2 and Fox Sports 3 roll out across the region on 15 August in both standard definition and HD. These replace the previous versions of Fox Sports as well as Fox Sports Plus HD and Star Sports everywhere except China and South Korea, where Star Sports will continue to be offered. Fox Sports News and Fox Football Chan- nel HD remain unchanged, as do the network’s non-linear offerings – Fox Sports Play and Fox Sports Mobile. Each of the new brands will cater to distinct groups of sports fans, says Joon Lee, FIC Asia’s executive vice president, content and communications, APAC and Middle East and managing director, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Coming two years after the end of the ESPN Star Sports joint venture, the latest branding is aimed at going even bigger with the Fox Sports brand. More simply, “we inherited the Star Sports brand and it’s confusing to have the two with distinctions that are not clear enough,” Lee says. “It’s essential for us to come up with a network under one brand, which is Fox Sports,” he adds.

Concretamente, las televisiones de ámbito autonómico vienen operando como espacios de reutilización de diferentes títulos que en su momento fueron estrenados en las grandes cadenas nacionales, pero ahora, por su costo y la fragmentación de audiencias se instalan en estas televisoras. El estudio realizado entre los años 2008 y 2010 constata la presencia de 40 títulos que son analizados según sus rasgos de contenido, horas de emisión y franja horaria donde son insertados. Se definen además las marcas retóricas dominantes de este tipo de discursos de exportación y sus perspectivas comerciales de cara a los próximos años, en un escenario de ardua competencia y determinado por los ajustes de la televisión digital y las nuevas pantallas como Internet.
