At a press conference in Washington with FCC Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein, the groups called for a crackdown on stations that present corporate-sponsored videos as genuine news to an unsuspecting audience. CMD, which unveiled the results of a 10-month investigation, found scores of local stations slipping commercial “video news releases,” or VNRs, into their regular news programming. The new multimedia report released today includes footage of 36 separate VNRs and their broadcast as “news” by TV stations and networks nationwide, including those in the nation’s biggest markets. The full report -- “Fake TV News: Widespread and Undisclosed” -- is now available complete with VNR and TV station video footage at www.prwatch.org/fakenews/execsummary.

Drawing New Zealand on a content analysis of television schedules, the paper will show the marketing rapidity and extent to which networks chose to screen promotional culture hypercommercial television forms with a specific focus on two particular examples of the genre. INTRODUCTION For the purposes of this paper, ‘hypercommercial broadcasting’ simply refers to television programming that is supported by commercial messages over and above standard magazine advertising. Obvious examples include programme sponsorship, product placement and infomercials. More specifically however, the 1990s in New Zealand saw two particular examples of hypercommercial broadcasting that deserve focussed investigation. MAGAZINE/ADVERTORIAL PROGRAMMING Magazine/advertorial programmes are those in which a significant portion of the time is devoted to advertorial promotions of featured goods. In this context ‘advertorial’ refers to infomercial or infomercial-style segments that are integrated into the show. This process can be extremely blatant; infomercial spokespeople (and infomercial excerpts) can be seamlessly integrated into the show. It can also be relatively subtle; presenters and guests can ‘chat’ and 98 Rosser Johnson offer ‘information’ and this is only revealed as an infomercial when the product is advertised at the end of the segment.

  • February 2008.Pmd
    FEBRUARYFEBRUARY 20082008 PRODUCTION IN PALM BEACH COUNTY GROWS IN 2007! Production in Palm Beach County (PBC) rose 12% in 2007 to a total of $128,328,641 and hotel room nights have increased as well! PBC Film Commissioner, Chuck Elderd feels that Black Entertainment Television’s (BET) Spring Bling and the Palm Beach International Film Festival (PBIFF) are perfect examples of programs that have enhanced event based tourism. Elderd said, “These kinds of entertaining and high-end marketing vehicles are the key to drawing new visitors to PBC.” Other major productions that shot in the County include CBS’s Cane, commercials for Giant Food Stores, the Florida Marlins and LA Weight Loss and still photography shoots for Lacoste, Land Rover and Lilly Pulitzer. These projects brought plenty of cast and crew that stayed in local hotels and ate in area restaurants. Some of PBC’s most unique locations including the Singer Island Beach in Riviera Beach, Sugarcane Fields in Pahokee and the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens in West Palm Beach were featured in a range of projects. Hotels such as the Boca Courtyard Marriott, Hotel biba, the West Palm Beach Marriott, the Colony Hotel,Palm Beach and countless others welcomed productions throughout the year. Local industry professionals also think the state of the industry in PBC is strong! Monte Young, Young Entertainment Producer, believes that production in PBC will stay consistent with independent films and commercials leading the way, and Bob Peterson of National Teleproductions feels that as the mobile platform continues to dominate the industry, a greater number of small companies will produce videos at a lower cost than the standard.

    Beachill, Mark James (2016) How a Black Man Won the Presidency in 2008: the Shifting Meaning of Race in the Political Culture of the USA. Doctoral thesis, University of Sunderland. Downloaded from: http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/id/eprint/6819/ Usage guidelines Please refer to the usage guidelines at http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/policies.html or alternatively contact [email protected]. HOW A BLACK MAN WON THE PRESIDENCY IN 2008: THE SHIFTING MEANING OF RACE IN THE POLITICAL CULTURE OF THE USA MARK JAMES BEACHILL A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2016 1 Abstract The US presidential election of 2008 was considered a milestone for blacks and race in the USA. However, despite the considerable attention given to the election, it has not been placed in historical and political context. In particular, contemporary assumptions about the importance of the symbolism of a black president and about how the election tested the racial outlook of whites pervade the literature. Prior vigorously contested ideas such as equality, discrimination and integration were largely unconsidered during the election and with the Obama victory. This research attempts to bring out why race, considered predominantly through representation and identity, raised considerable energies among the electorate, examining the themes of “hope” and “change”, and the online campaign. To establish exactly what the election was reacting to, the thesis attempts a historical reconstruction of race: first, by working through a critique of realignment theory as the predominant academic view of electoral processes, then through an examination of how whiteness figured as a means to resolve class and related conflicts from the late- nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, and finally examining how whiteness was consolidated through post-war suburbanisation.

  • Tahoe Creamery Ceases Operations,TRPA, USGS Pay For
    Tahoe Creamery ceases operations By Reno Gazette Journal Tahoe Creamery, which operated ice cream shops in Sparks and the University of Nevada, Reno and a manufacturing site in Minden, has ceased operations. Tahoe Creamery owners could not be reached for comment Thursday, but a recorded voice at the Minden plant informed callers, “We are no longer manufacturing ice cream due to the stressful economic climate.” Launched eight years ago, Tahoe Creamery operated on Galleria Parkway in Spanish Springs and inside the Joe Crowley Student Union on the UNR campus. The company’s ice cream products also were sold at Northern Nevada grocery retailers. TRPA, USGS pay for high resolution GIS imaging of basin By GISCafe eMap International was contracted by a consortium of regional and federal agencies which included the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) and US Geological Service (USGS) to provide 8-band multispectral high-resolution WorldView-2 satellite imagery over the Lake Tahoe Basin. Given the short growing and cloud-free season in the Tahoe Lake Basin, the specifications of the project required that the high- resolution imagery covering 1,100 square kilometer of coastlines, forested valleys and jagged mountain peaks be collected inside a 45-day window with less than 10% cloud cover. By working closely with DigitalGlobe, the owner and operator of WorldView-2, eMap delivered the specified 2-meter 8-band multispectral and 50-cm panchromatic satellite imagery to the Consortium ahead of schedule and with nearly no cloud-cover (less than 1% across the Basin). Upon receipt and review of the WorldView-2 data, Toby Welborn, a geographer at the USGS Carson City, NV office, said, “This is going to be a fantastic dataset to work with and will provide incredible insight into all types of issues and interests in the Tahoe Basin.” Read the whole story Nevada pioneers to come to life on Minden stage Nevada State Parks is presenting a free Chautauqua-style show Oct.

  • Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising
    FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 16 CFR Part 255 Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising * * * * This document includes only the text of the Revised Endorsement and Testimonial Guides. To learn more, read the Federal Register Notice at www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/10/endortest.shtm. * * * * § 255.0 Purpose and definitions. (a) The Guides in this part represent administrative interpretations of laws enforced by the Federal Trade Commission for the guidance of the public in conducting its affairs in conformity with legal requirements. Specifically, the Guides address the application of Section 5 of the FTC Act (15 U.S.C. 45) to the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. The Guides provide the basis for voluntary compliance with the law by advertisers and endorsers. Practices inconsistent with these Guides may result in corrective action by the Commission under Section 5 if, after investigation, the Commission has reason to believe that the practices fall within the scope of conduct declared unlawful by the statute. The Guides set forth the general principles that the Commission will use in evaluating endorsements and testimonials, together with examples illustrating the application of those principles. The Guides do not purport to cover every possible use of endorsements in advertising. Whether a particular endorsement or testimonial is deceptive will depend on the specific factual circumstances of the advertisement at issue. (b) For purposes of this part, an endorsement means any advertising message (including verbal statements, demonstrations, or depictions of the name, signature, likeness or other identifying personal characteristics of an individual or the name or seal of an organization) that consumers are likely to believe reflects the opinions, beliefs, findings, or experiences of a party other than the sponsoring advertiser, even if the views expressed by that party are identical to those of the sponsoring advertiser.
