Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network
Syracuse University SURFACE Dissertations - ALL SURFACE May 2016 Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network Laura Osur Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Osur, Laura, "Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network" (2016). Dissertations - ALL. 448. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/448 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

Does Netflix Glamorize Tobacco? 79% of Top Streaming Shows Feature Cigarette-Smoking in Hundreds of Scenes, Study Finds
Does Netflix glamorize tobacco? 79% of top streaming shows feature cigarette-smoking in hundreds of scenes, study finds dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5519215/79-streaming-shows-feature-cigarette-smoking.html March 3, 5877521 About 79 percent of shows popular among teens and young adults depict tobacco use, a new study has revealed. Researchers found cigarette use is more prominent in Netflix shows - like Stranger Things, which had 182 scenes featuring characters lighting up - than it is in broadcast and cable television. Health advocates warn the findings are alarming given the scores of studies showing teenagers are much more likely to take up smoking as a 'cool' habit if they see actors smoking on screen. One of the researchers behind the study, by the advocacy group Truth Initiative, went as far as to say TV shows have as much glamorized smoking tobacco ads despite the global push to make young people aware of cigarettes' links to cancer. Winona Ryder who stars Stranger Things frequently smokes cigarettes on the series 1/5 Researchers found Stranger Things had 182 scenes of characters lighting up in one season Robin Koval, CEO and president of Truth Initiative, said shows like Stranger Things, which drew an estimated 15.8 million viewers within three days of its second-season launch, said she was stunned by the amount of smoking in a show in 2018. 'We expected to see quite a bit of smoking, but the magnitude of what we saw was shocking,' Koval said. She and her colleagues used a nationally sourced sample to identify the 14 most popular television shows among people between 15 and 24 years old.

More specifically we make the argument that full inclusion of people with disabilities is not a matter of charity, but of civil rights. We researched this White Paper in order to further the awareness around this civil rights movement. We believe that the results we found will meaningfully contribute to the conversation of diversity in entertainment as a civil rights issue that needs to be addressed more systematically by the media and entertainment industry. Our Mission The Ruderman Family Foundation believes that inclusion and understanding of all people is essential to a fair and flourishing community. Guided by our Jewish values,

5. Queerness (Un)Shackled
LAUREN J. DECARVALHO AND NICOLE B. COX 5. QUEERNESS (UN)SHACKLED Theorizing Orange Is the New Black As one of the most talked about series today, Orange is the New Black (OITNB) has garnered praise and criticism in its depiction of women inmates at a fictional federal prison in Litchfield, New York. Based on Piper Kerman’s book, Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison, the series focuses on the trials and tribulations of Piper Chapman (played by Taylor Schilling), an upper-middle-class, white, bisexual woman who was sentenced to 15 months for illegally transporting drugs ten years prior, for her then-partner Alex Vause (played by Laura Prepon). Written and created by Jenji Kohan, who is no stranger to creating women-centric series—as evidenced by her Showtime dramedy Weeds (2005-2012)—OITNB debuted as Netflix’s fifth original series on July 11, 2013. While it is more difficult to determine viewership for a series outside the traditional television platform, it has been speculated that OITNB brings in between 8–15 million viewers per episode (Obensen, 2013). Obenson points to the first season’s success: “[Orange is the New Black] will end the year as our most watched original series ever and, as with each of our other previously launched originals, enjoys an audience comparable with successful shows on cable and broadcast TV” (para. 1). OITNB’s second season debuted on June 6, 2014, and before that airdate Netflix announced that the series was renewed for a third season. Regarding its most recent success, the Netflix series garnered 12 Emmy nominations for its first season—and won three.
