ANNUAL REPORT 2015 16_A70_TV_Acad_Ad.qxp_Layout 1 7/8/16 11:43 AM Page 1 PROUD MEMBER OF »CBS THE TELEVISION ACADEMY 2 ©2016 CBS Broadcasting Inc. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT HAVE INCREASED in what is widely regarded as television’s second Golden Age, so have employment opportunities for the talented men and women who create that programming. And as our industry, and the content we produce, have become more relevant, so has the relevance of the Television Academy increased as an essential resource for television professionals. In 2015, this was reflected in the steady rise in our membership — surpassing 20,000 for the first time in our history — as well as the expanding slate of Academy-sponsored activities and the heightened attention paid to such high-profile events as the Television Academy Honors and, of course, the Creative Arts Awards and the Emmy Awards. Navigating an industry in the midst of such profound change is both exciting and, at times, a bit daunting. Reimagined models of production and distribution — along with technological innovations and the emergence of new over-the-top platforms — have led to a seemingly endless surge of creativity, and an array of viewing options. As the leading membership organization for television professionals and home to the industry’s most prestigious award, the Academy is committed to remaining at the vanguard of all aspects of television. Toward that end, we are always evaluating our own practices in order to stay ahead of industry changes, and we are proud to guide the conversation for television’s future generations.

Animating Race the Production and Ascription of Asian-Ness in the Animation of Avatar: the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra
Animating Race The Production and Ascription of Asian-ness in the Animation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra Francis M. Agnoli Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies April 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract How and by what means is race ascribed to an animated body? My thesis addresses this question by reconstructing the production narratives around the Nickelodeon television series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-08) and its sequel The Legend of Korra (2012-14). Through original and preexisting interviews, I determine how the ascription of race occurs at every stage of production. To do so, I triangulate theories related to race as a social construct, using a definition composed by sociologists Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer; re-presentations of the body in animation, drawing upon art historian Nicholas Mirzoeff’s concept of the bodyscape; and the cinematic voice as described by film scholars Rick Altman, Mary Ann Doane, Michel Chion, and Gianluca Sergi. Even production processes not directly related to character design, animation, or performance contribute to the ascription of race. Therefore, this thesis also references writings on culture, such as those on cultural appropriation, cultural flow/traffic, and transculturation; fantasy, an impulse to break away from mimesis; and realist animation conventions, which relates to Paul Wells’ concept of hyper-realism.

Medyada Şiddet; Televizyon Çizgi Diziler Üzerine Bir İnceleme*1
Ç.Ü. Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi, Cilt 25, Sayı 1, 2016, Sayfa 43-58 Medyada Şiddet; Televizyon Çizgi Diziler Üzerine Bir İnceleme*1 Nüket Elpeze Ergeç** Murat Ertan Doğan*** Özet İzleyici araştırmaları televizyon yayın içeriklerinin, izleyiciler üzerinde değer sistemlerinin oluşumunda ve davranışların biçimlenmesinde güçlü bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Şiddetin sadece haber, dizi ve magazin programlarının yanında, çocuk kanallarında da önemli boyutta olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Şiddetin öğrenilen bir davranış olduğuna vurgu yapan Riches (1989), şiddet eylemi sosyal gerçekliği pratik anlamda dönüştürmeyi hedefleyen ve bunu yaparken de içinde bulunduğu sosyalliğin düşünsel durumunu sergileyen bir yapıya sahip olduğunu belirtmektedir. Şiddetin kişiler üzerinde bir tepkisizlik yarattığı, giderek şiddetin problemleri çözmede bir yol olarak kabul edildiği, televizyonda izlenen şiddetin taklit edildiği ve televizyondaki karakterler ile şiddet gören arasında özdeşleşme kurulduğuna dair çok sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır (Wilson vd, 2002; Kirsh, 2006). Bu çalışma, medya üzerinden çocuğun maruz kaldığı şiddete ilişkin yeniden düşünmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında Türkiye’de ulusal çapta yayın yapan özel bir çocuk televizyon kanalının bir haftalık yayın akışında yer alan 24 farklı çizgi dizideki şiddet öğesi incelenmiş ve bu öğeler sınıflandırılmıştır. Araştırma sonunda örneklem kapsamındaki dizileri izleyen çocukların, ortalama her 40 saniyede bir şiddet içeren eyleme maruz kaldığı bulgulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular sonucunda çalışma, çocukların televizyon izlerken şiddetin etkilerinden korunma yollarının birçok farklı disiplinlerle işbirliği ile uzun soluklu çalışmalarla önlenebileceğini çözüm olarak sunmuştur. Anahtar Kelime: çocuk, şiddet, medya, televizyon Violence in the Media; Review on the Television Cartoon Series Abstract Studies show television has a crucial impact on children’s development of value systems and forming of behaviors. Violence occurs not only in news, magazine programs and TV series but in children’s television channels.

Response to This Article About the Hasbro/Discovery Hub Shift In
Response to this article about the Hasbro/Discovery Hub shift in power...which turned into another my long-winded, thoughtful rants: http://online.wsj.com/articles/discovery-to-take-control-of-the-hub-network- 1410979842 Well, that's...somewhat shocking. From what I can tell, the Hasbro/Discovery partnership in The Hub has been an amazing success. I watch the channel almost every day. Most of its programming is--and has been, for the past 3.5 years--excellent. From the original series (FiM, Pound Puppies, Strawberry Shortcake, LPS, Dan Vs., Aquabats Super Show, Family Game Night, Care Bears, Transformers, Haunting Hour), to all the other wonderful shows/sitcoms (oh my goodness!! Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Goosebumps, Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Step By Step, Who's the Boss, Family Ties, The Facts of Life, Sister, Sister, Sabrina, Atomic Betty, etc.), to the extremely well-chosen family movies (I loved it when they aired the Homeward Bound films, All Dogs Go to Heaven 2...today I saw Spaceballs...and they've just made so many other great movie picks every season.) They've been an outstanding example of listening to your viewers and giving them what they want. Even their misfires and middle-of-the-road shows are more than bearable (SheZow, animated Sabrina, Teenage Fairytale Dropouts, Kid President, Parents Just Don't Understand, and such.) If Hasbro were to grow dissatisfied with controlling six hours of its toy-based cartoons daily on Hub (which seems like a fair deal they've cut, tbh), and moved them over to Cartoon Network or Disney...well, at least the shows would still continue on, and be a MASSIVE boon to either of those channels.
