In the Bugle’s first year, our writers were invaluable, dedicating their free time and energy, outside of homework, exams, and other extra-curricular activities, in order to produce thoughtful, engaging pieces on everything from current events to entertainment. For many of our budding writers, it marks their first time in print, and for all, it was an exciting opportunity to celebrate their talent, commitment, and hard work. However, the most prestigious prize, The Victory Academy Award for Outstanding Writing and Journalism, and the accompanying plaque to memorialise the success, was awarded to Megan Notley, a Year Ten literary reviewer and member of the Breaking News team.

Yet, from the person sitting still at the station’s perspective it was you, the passenger, that was moving. Furthermore, as odd as it may seem, it is both people (both you and the person at the station) that are correct - it all just depends on perspective. In spite of this, there is one thing this rule of perspectives doesn’t account for: the speed of light. No matter how fast you are moving, whether it be in a train at over 100mph or walking at a mere 3mph, the speed of light remains at 299,792,458 m/ s. It’s impossible to gain any ground on the speed of light - it always remains 299,792,458 m/s ahead of you no matter how fast you’re going. It’s like the universe’s cosmic speed limit.

    Tinder-ing Desire: The Circuit of Culture, Gamified Dating and Creating Desirable Selves Tanya F. Oishi A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: LeiLani Nishime, Chair Ralina Joseph Carmen Gonzalez Program Authorized to Offer Degree Communication 2 ©Copyright 2019 Tanya F. Oishi 3 University of Washington Abstract Tinder-ing Desire: Tanya F. Oishi Chair of the Supervisory Committee: LeiLani Nishime Communication This dissertation starts at intersection of race, gender, and technology, all of which will be discussed in depth throughout this project, and the fluid state of being constituted and being undone by one another. It is in this state of vulnerability that relationships are initiated, through technology that these relationships are shaped and facilitated, and within the constraints of social expectations that these interactions are able/allowed to occur (Duck, 2011). As life becomes more mediated and interactions more facilitated through technological means, focusing on relationships facilitated through dating apps is illustrative of the ways in which mobile technologies are changing the way we communicate with one another. The introduction provides the theoretical overview of the literature off of which the rest of the dissertation builds its arguments: the importance of interpersonal connections, the positionality of Asian men in the U.S., and the mutual shaping of society and technology, as well 4 as a justification for a mixed methodological approach to these areas of inquiry. The second chapter looks at the subreddit r/Tinder Profile Review Week thread to see how individuals seek feedback on creating a desirable self and describes how these impression management strategies of Asian men differ from the group which is comprised predominantly by white men.

  • Women on Youtube: Exploring Identity Performances of Female Creators Using Intersectionality and Media Ecology
    WOMEN ON YOUTUBE: EXPLORING IDENTITY PERFORMANCES OF FEMALE CREATORS USING INTERSECTIONALITY AND MEDIA ECOLOGY Alyssa N. Fisher A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2019 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Lubomir Popov Graduate Faculty Representative John Dowd Sandra Faulkner © 2019 Alyssa Fisher All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Makeup tutorials, cooking demonstrations, cocktail recipes, fashion reviews: these are the topics dominating the content of some of the most popular channels on YouTube that are led by women. In this project, conceptualizing the ways in which women express their identity through everyday enactments of life in public and at home is examined through case studies of performances from four female youtubers. The platform’s emerging content, new practices of creative control, and distribution are shaping production, consumption, and the conversation about feminism and gender identity. Through the lenses of visual analysis, media ecology, critical feminist media studies, and performativity of gender, the study examines the established ways in which four women on YouTube enact their identities online, picking and choosing which identifiers, qualities, characteristics, and actions are shared in an effort to personify their chosen self. I first use a critical feminist framework and perform a qualitative visual analysis of YouTube videos from female YouTube creators. Findings include the setting and negotiating of content templates, collaboration, use of YouTube trending content, revealing intersectional identifiers, using comedic frames, dismantling the male gaze, and catchphrases. Secondly, an exploration and analysis are done on the media ecology of the YouTube Studio.

  • 2.2 Parasocial Interaction
    國立臺灣師範大學管理學院全球經營與策略研究所 碩士論文 Graduate Institute of Global Business and Strategy College of Management National Taiwan Normal University Master Thesis A Research on Business Models of the Free Web Content Platforms: Cases study of the Webcomic Industry and the YouTube channels 免費網路創作平台商業模式之研究: 以網路漫畫業與YouTube 頻道為例 Student: Katarzyna Żak 蕭函 指導教授：董澤平博士 Advisor: Tse-ping Dong, Ph.D. 中華民國 108年8月 August 2019 Abstract The purpose of this study is to find out the process of creating revenue from publishing free core content, that would allow the creator to continue publishing their main content for free. This process very much depends on the emergence and maintenance of the loyal fan community. Within such a community emerges a specific fan culture, not only focused on admiration in itself but also on giving feedback and inspiration. This circle of interaction can allow a satisfying stream of revenue from monetising activities surrounding the main content, thus enabling creators to be at least partially supported financially. This study concerns two types of user-generated born-digital creative content: images (webcomic) and videos (YouTube). Its aim is to provide a set of examples of certain traits and trends, that might become a starting point towards the more detail-oriented analysis of similar ventures, which despite the differences in approach, share the visual aspect and shareability features.

  • 1 No Labels: Music Videos As a Platform for Advocating
    1 NO LABELS: MUSIC VIDEOS AS A PLATFORM FOR ADVOCATING SOCIAL AWARENESS AND CHANGE A CREATIVE PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY SHAINA HANELINE CHRIS FLOOK - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2020 2 Introduction We’re a society of overworked, stressed and hurried individuals. This fast-paced lifestyle provides little time for lengthy pursuits and relaxation. We often gravitate toward the stark, instantly gratifying consumption of news and current events. The inclination for a sound bite style of media consumption often spills over into our preferred methods of entertainment. Music videos provide a practical opportunity to satisfy the desire to be entertained in our instant gratification world. Whether through traditional television networks or online computer-based television, music videos have become common place in our day to day life. As a condensed and easily understood platform, music videos have the ability to expose viewers to new ideas and shifts in societies’ constantly changing climate. When MTV (Music Television) was introduced in 1981, people were drawn to the format because it combined music with enticing visual productions. Fans and admirers could glimpse deeper into the hearts and minds of artists they admired. This established a more intimate connection between fans and entertainers. As this vehicle for entertainment began to evolve, the content creators of music videos began to use their art as vehicles for empowerment of women, minorities and marginalized sections of society. Examples of this empowerment today can be seen in currently popular music videos such as, Donald Glover’s This is America (Glover, 2018), Beyoncé’s Run the World (Girls) (Beyoncé, 2011), and FYKE’s Get Myself (FYKE, 2019).

The 145-page document changes the Title IX policies for all federally funded colleges and universities across the country. Most schools, including Emerson, receive some form of fed- eral funding through financial aid. Title IX pro- tects people from discrimination on the basis of sex in an educational or federally funded insti- tution and dictates how schools should handle sexual harassment and assault allegations. The proposed changes would affect how for- mal complaints in sexual harassment or assault cases are filed and investigated. Additionally, they would redefine sexual harassment, allow colleges to set a higher standard for evidence, and permit the accused and accuser to cross-ex- amine one another according to the college’s policy.
