  • Vlogging the Museum: Youtube As a Tool for Audience Engagement
    Vlogging the Museum: YouTube as a tool for audience engagement Amanda Dearolph A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2014 Committee: Kris Morrissey Scott Magelssen Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Museology ©Copyright 2014 Amanda Dearolph Abstract Vlogging the Museum: YouTube as a tool for audience engagement Amanda Dearolph Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Kris Morrissey, Director Museology Each month more than a billion individual users visit YouTube watching over 6 billion hours of video, giving this platform access to more people than most cable networks. The goal of this study is to describe how museums are taking advantage of YouTube as a tool for audience engagement. Three museum YouTube channels were chosen for analysis: the San Francisco Zoo, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Field Museum of Natural History. To be included the channel had to create content specifically for YouTube and they were chosen to represent a variety of institutions. Using these three case studies this research focuses on describing the content in terms of its subject matter and alignment with the common practices of YouTube as well as analyzing the level of engagement of these channels achieved based on a series of key performance indicators. This was accomplished with a statistical and content analysis of each channels’ five most viewed videos. The research suggests that content that follows the characteristics and culture of YouTube results in a higher number of views, subscriptions, likes, and comments indicating a higher level of engagement. This also results in a more stable and consistent viewership.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Youtube Channel
    CONTACT Brian Stemmler 323.401.6416 [email protected] https://youtube.com/makeeverythingtv FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE YouTube Channel “How to Make Everything” marks 1,000,000 Subscriber milestone by attempting to make a YouTube Play Button from scratch. https://youtu.be/M43lSCeQ8dU It started out as a personal challenge. Then it turned into a documentary. Then a local TV Series...Now, seven years later, “How to Make Everything” seems to have found its niche on YouTube. Since launching on the platform in 2015, the Channel recently passed the 1 million Subscriber mark. The show follows Andy George, Creator and Host of "How to Make Everything", as he makes everything from a sandwich to a suit, tools and even a root beer float from scratch...literally. "This is not a 'How To' show. The show is meant to reveal how complicated it is to make every day items we take for granted, once you strip away the manufacturing and distribution networks which are the backbone of our modern lifestyle" Andy says about his show. "I am by no means an expert in any of the activities I pursue in the series, so the entertainment factor comes in seeing me struggle and sometimes epically fail at my tasks". For example, the premiere episode covers Andy making a sandwich from scratch. This involved growing the wheat to make the bread, sunflowers to make oil for mayonnaise, cucumbers for pickles, lettuce and tomatoes. For salt, Andy had to travel to the Pacific Ocean to gather sea water, which he boiled down. He collected eggs and milk from a farm for mayonnaise and cheese.

  • “Decreasing World Suck”
    Dz dzǣ Fan Communities, Mechanisms of Translation, and Participatory Politics Neta Kligler-Vilenchik A Case Study Report Working Paper Media, Activism and Participatory Politics Project AnnenBerg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California June 24, 2013 Executive Summary This report describes the mechani sms of translation through which participatory culture communities extend PHPEHUV¶cultural connections toward civic and political outcomes. The report asks: What mechanisms do groups use to translate cultural interests into political outcomes? What are challenges and obstacles to this translation? May some mechanisms be more conducive towards some participatory political outcomes than others? The report addresses these questions through a comparison between two groups: the Harry Potter Alliance and the Nerdfighters. The Harry Potter Alliance is a civic organization with a strong online component which runs campaigns around human rights issues, often in partnership with other advocacy and nonprofit groups; its membership skews college age and above. Nerdfighters are an informal community formed around a YouTube vlog channel; many of the pDUWLFLSDQWVDUHKLJKVFKRRODJHXQLWHGE\DFRPPRQJRDORI³GHFUHDVLQJZRUOGVXFN.´ These two groups have substantial overlapping membership, yet they differ in their strengths and challenges in terms of forging participatory politics around shared cultural interests. The report discusses three mechanisms that enable such translation: 1. Tapping content worlds and communities ± Scaffolding the connections that group members have through their shared passions for popular culture texts and their relationships with each other toward the development of civic identities and political agendas. 2. Creative production ± Encouraging production and circulation of content, especially for political expression. 3. Informal discussion ± Creating and supporting spaces and opportunities for conversations about current events and political issues.

  • Paremmat Tilat Moponuorille Itä-Helsinkiin
    NUORTEN ALOITTEET 2015 – Koonti Juha Kiviniemi, Verkkomoderaattori, Nuorisoasiainkeskus 28.1.2016 # 1 Aloite Paremmat tilat moponuorille Itä-Helsinkiin Meillä on tällä hetkellä todella pieni mopohalli Rastis. Nykyisten tilojen sijainti on hyvä, koska ne ovat lähellä monia mopoilijoita. Nykyisissä tiloissa on hyvät mahdollisuudet huoltaa ja "tuunata" mopoja ja kevytmoottoripyöriä. Muuten tilat ovat hyvät, mutta ne ovat todella ahtaat kasvavaan kävijämäärään nähden. Nopeasti kasvava asukasmäärä lisää luonnollisesti myös mopoilevien nuorten määrää. Aloitteen tavoitteena on saada mopohallille suuremmat tilat jostain lähialueelta. Uutta ei tarvitse paljon, mutta suuremmat tilat ja pieniä parannuksia kyllä. http://www.facebook.com/groups/566005676868628/ http://ruuti.munstadi.fi/aloitteet/paremmat-tilat- moponuorille-ita-helsinkiin/ Jättöpvm 9.1. Virasto NK Välivastaus pvm 26.3. Välivastaus Hei, Tapaamme aloitteen tekijät Rastiksen mopohallilla ke 1.4. klo 16.30 ja sovimme, miten asiaa viedään yhteistyössä eteenpäin. Helsingin kaupungin tilakeskus on luvannut selvittää korvaavia tiloja Vuosaaresta - tämä työ voi kuitenkin kestää pidempään. MIkko Vatka Osastopäällikkö Helsingin kaupunki, Nuorisoasiainkeskus 040 6791606 Vastauspvm 23.4. Vastaus Blogiteksti nuorten tapaamisesta: http://rastiksenmopohalli.munstadi.fi/2015/04/22/esitys-uuden-mopohallin- puolesta-ita-helsinkiin/ (Ei muuta vastausta) Linkki http://ruuti.munstadi.fi/?p=10085 Palautejärjestelmän 3i709604qj3kv0bfrd24 id / Diaarinumero Muuta Aloitteen jättäjät: # 2 Aloite Pelitalon etäpisteen kehittäminen kontulassa Nuorille ei ole tarpeeksi aikaa kirjaston pelikoneilla 30 min on selvästi liian pieni aika. Jos peliin tarvitsee päivityksiä se vätii enemmän aikaa kuin puolituntia. Eikä ole mielestämme sopivaa pelata yli 13.v pelejä samassa tilassa nuorempien kanssa. Siksi ajattelemme että tarvitsisimme oman peli tilan eritiloissa tähän sopisi mainiosti kontulan nuorisotalo jossa olisi ilmeisesti vapautumassa pienihuone joka sopisi tähän tarkoitukseen. Nuorisotalon aukiolo ajat sopisivat paremin kun kirjasto.
