Dear Yale Alums and Friends, We are thrilled to welcome you to the YaleWomen Award for Excellence celebration! When YaleWomen was founded in 2011 – following the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the coeducation of Yale College and the 140th anniversary of the coeducation of the Graduate & Professional Schools – it was a “big idea” full of possibilities. During these first eight years, we have grown – notably as an all-volunteer organization -- in many different ways: in numbers and complexity, driven by the clarity and focus that come with being mission-centered and market-smart. And the importance of our work has become more evident. This year’s Award for Excellence celebration exemplifies the power of individual women to catalyze change and to inspire us to exert ourselves to take action on issues we believe in. The opportunity for all of us here today to honor Anita F. Hill ’80 JD, Catherine E. Lhamon ’96 JD, and Ann Olivarius ’77, ’86 MBA, ’86 JD as Lifetime Achievement awardees; and Araceli Campos ’99 BA, C’Ardiss Gardner Gleser ’08 BA, Kamala Lopez BA, Rebecca Reichmann Tavares ’78 BA, and Vera Wells ’71 BA as our inaugural Impact awardees, is both extraordinary and humbling.

Introduction "Infomercials" 1 are a new form of television advertising based on program-length, direct response marketing. A typical infomercial presentation takes the form of a half hour talk show program devoted exclusively to the product being marketed, accompanied by toll-free telephone numbers to order the product. 2 Often, the program is en- hanced with celebrity guests, a studio audience and demonstrations of the product. Recently, there has been growing concern among consumers, broadcasters and the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC" or "the Commission") that infomercials may be a form of deceptive advertis- ing.' Complaints about infomercials range from objections to the hard sell tactics,4 to the apprehension that. products will not work for buyers at home as well as they have on television.' The greatest fear is that the public will mistake the paid advertisement with its paid endorsements and pre-arranged demonstrations for an actual, objec- tive talk show.6 These problems are further complicated by the talk- show magazine style format of the programs and current require- ments of only minimal identification of the paid nature of the pro- gram.

  • From Hot Wheels to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: the Evolution of the Definition of Program Length Commercials on Children's Television
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 359 566 CS 508 197 AUTHOR Colby, Pamela A. TITLE From Hot Wheels to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Evolution of the Definition of Program Length Commercials on Children's Television. PUB DATE Apr 93 NOTE 35p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Broadcast Education Association (Las Vegas, NV, April 12-16, 1993). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) Historical Materials (060) Information Analyses (070) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Childrens Television; *Commercial Television; *Federal Regulation; Government Role; Media Research; *Programing (Broadcast); *Television Commercials IDENTIFIERS *Educational Issues; Federal Communications Commission; Hot Wheels Cars (Game); Media Government Relationship; *Program Length Commercials ABSTRACT From 1969 to 1993 the definition of program length commercials has not been consistent. The FCC's first involvement with program length commercials was in 1969 when "Hot Wheels," a cartoon based on Mattel Corporation's Hot Wheels cars, was alleged to be nothing more than a 30 minute commercial. The FCC made no formal ruling but did develop a vague definition of a program length commercial. In 1971, the FCC issued its first Notice of Inquiry and Notice of Proposed Rule Making regarding commercial content in children's programming. Response was tremendous, and the FCC co-cluded that broadcasters have a special obligation to serve the unique needs of children. No formal rulings were made by the FCC, who wanted the broadcast industry to regulate itself. A 1978 Notice of Inquiry only restated previous guidelines. In 1983, the FCC wanted to deregulate children's television. while Congress started a major effort to adopt legislation.

    COMMITTEE TO PROTECT JOURNALISTS www.cpj.org Committee to Protect Journalists • 330 Seventh Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10001 2009-2010 Committee to Protect Journalists I LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The Committee to Protect Journalists promotes media freedom worldwide. We take action when journalists are censored, jailed, kidnapped, or killed for their work. CPJ is an independent, nonprofit organization founded in 1981. REUTERS/YURIKO NAKAO REUTERS/YURIKO Dear Friends: This is an incredibly exciting time to be defending independent journalists and free expression. Digital technologies are enabling new forms of journalism and contributing to a global culture of greater open- ness and transparency. There are more people practicing journalism than ever before. The new technologies, however, can be a boon to repressive governments—allowing for surveillance and censorship on an unprecedented scale. In 2009, half of all imprisoned journalists were targeted for work published online. The Internet is also transforming the news business, which has enormous implications for our work. As media companies eliminate foreign bureaus and cut staff positions, freelancers are on the front- lines of reporting the news around the world. Freelance journalists are especially vulnerable to arrest and intimidation because they often lack the legal and financial support that large news organizations can provide to staffers. Journalists of all stripes increasingly work independently—that is to say, alone. These trends make CPJ’s work even more vitally important. When journalists are imprisoned, we campaign for their release. When journalists are forced into exile, we help support them. When jour- nalists are killed for their work, we demand justice.
