This event started as an idea that struck Donna and me one summer afternoon in 2014. We were looking for a way to help support deserving but often overlooked small charities, those that serve people in need. The idea became KentPresents. In a fairly short time, it’s not only achieved its original goal but has become a nationally recognized ideas festival. We like to think our festival is different.

  • Cnbc and the Discourses of Financialization
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications SHAPING THE MARKET: CNBC AND THE DISCOURSES OF FINANCIALIZATION A Dissertation in Mass Communications by Aaron Heresco 2014 Aaron Heresco Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 The dissertation of Aaron J. Heresco was reviewed and approved* by the following: Matthew Jordan Associate Professor of Media Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Matthew McAllister Assistant Graduate Program Chair / Professor, Media Studies Michael Elavsky Associate Professor of Media Studies Alan Sica Professor of Sociology Marie Hardin Dean, College of Communications *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract This research examines the discursive construction of financialization and financial markets as represented on the cable network CNBC. Following the financial crisis of 2008, discourses of an about finance became legible throughout the social body. From calls for austerity to understandings of the range of social and political possibles, financial markets were an increasingly important cultural force. Financial markets, however, are neither natural nor inevitable, and an analysis of the ways in which these markets and their participants are constituted enlists the Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC) as a critical site in the cultural circuit of finance capitalism. How CNBC functions as both a financial entity in its own right, as well as a site of discursive production and distribution about finance, positions the network as an important site for the study of financial discourses. A critical discourse analysis of CNBC content highlighted a number of themes regarding market discourses: namely pertaining to ludo-finance, a financial pedagogy, new spatial and temporal social conceptions, and a ritualistic and religious attitude toward financial markets.

  • Celling Fear the Cell Phone Scare That Refuses to Die by Michael Fumento*
    Competitive Enterprise Institute 1899 L Street, NW • 12th Floor • Washington, DC 20036 202.331.1010 • www.cei.org Advancing Liberty – From the Economy to Ecology January 22, 2010 No. 12 Celling Fear The Cell Phone Scare that Refuses to Die By Michael Fumento* Soon would-be cell phone buyers in Maine might be checking out the latest models, only to find a jarring red box on each unit with the image of a brain next to a phone.1 On it, the alarming words: WARNING, THIS DEVICE EMITS ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION; EXPOSURE TO WHICH MAY CAUSE BRAIN CANCER. USERS, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN, SHOULD KEEP THIS DEVICE AWAY FROM THE HEAD AND BODY.2 The above notice would be mandated by Maine’s Children’s Wireless Protection Act, which was recently introduced as emergency legislation following a unanimous vote by the state’s legislative council.3 Does this mean science shows that cell phones really are harmful? On the contrary. The real problem comes from misinformation from activists and a policy called “the precautionary principle” that could be devastating if it makes inroads into public policy. Unfortunately, the Maine legislature is not the only government body considering such a hysterical action. This month, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors is expected to consider a resolution already approved unanimously by a commission as well as by the mayor.4 Among other things, it requires radiofrequency emission levels for each phone to be displayed as large as the price and asks for “warning labels [to] be placed on all cell phone packaging regarding 5 exposure to radiation, especially for children.” * Michael Fumento, a former CEI Warren Brookes Fellow, is director of the non-profit Independent Journalism Project, where he specializes in health and science issues.
