  • Producers of Popular Science Web Videos – Between New Professionalism and Old Gender Issues
    Producers of Popular Science Web Videos – Between New Professionalism and Old Gender Issues Jesús Muñoz Morcillo1*, Klemens Czurda*, Andrea Geipel**, Caroline Y. Robertson-von Trotha* ABSTRACT: This article provides an overview of the web video production context related to science communication, based on a quantitative analysis of 190 YouTube videos. The authors explore the main characteristics and ongoing strategies of producers, focusing on three topics: professionalism, producer’s gender and age profile, and community building. In the discussion, the authors compare the quantitative results with recently published qualitative research on producers of popular science web videos. This complementary approach gives further evidence on the main characteristics of most popular science communicators on YouTube, it shows a new type of professionalism that surpasses the hitherto existing distinction between User Generated Content (UGC) and Professional Generated Content (PGC), raises gender issues, and questions the participatory culture of science communicators on YouTube. Keywords: Producers of Popular Science Web Videos, Commodification of Science, Gender in Science Communication, Community Building, Professionalism on YouTube Introduction Not very long ago YouTube was introduced as a platform for sharing videos without commodity logic. However, shortly after Google acquired YouTube in 2006, the free exchange of videos gradually shifted to an attention economy ruled by manifold and omnipresent advertising (cf. Jenkins, 2009: 120). YouTube has meanwhile become part of our everyday experience, of our “being in the world” (Merleau Ponty) with all our senses, as an active and constitutive dimension of our understanding of life, knowledge, and communication. However, because of the increasing exploitation of private data, some critical voices have arisen arguing against the production and distribution of free content and warning of the negative consequences for content quality and privacy (e.g., Keen, 2007; Welzer, 2016).

  • 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.

  • Temporality in a Time of Tam, Or Towards a Racial Chronopolitics of Intellectual Property Law
    673 TEMPORALITY IN A TIME OF TAM, OR TOWARDS A RACIAL CHRONOPOLITICS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW ANJALI VATS* ABSTRACT This Article examines the intersections of race, intellectual property, and temporality from the vantage point of Critical Race Intellectual Property (“CRTIP”). More specifically, it offers one example of how trademark law operates to normalize white supremacy by and through judicial frameworks that default to Euro-American understandings of time. I advance its central argument—that achieving racial justice in the context of intellectual property law requires decolonizing Euro-American conceptions of time— by considering how the equitable defense of laches and the judicial power to raise issues sua sponte operate in trademark law. I make this argument through a close reading of the racial chronopolitics of three cases: Harjo v. Pro-Football, Inc. (2005), Matal v. Tam (2018), and Pro- * Anjali Vats is Associate Professor of Law at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law with a secondary appointment in the Department of Communication at the University of Pittsburgh.

Thank you to Michael Madison for his thoughtful comments on an earlier version of this Article and the editors at IDEA: The Law Review of the Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property for their hard work on this symposium.

  • How Nellie Bly Cracked a Gender Barrier by Pioneering Investigative Journalism
    Underestimating Women in Journalism: How Nellie Bly Cracked a Gender Barrier By Pioneering Investigative Journalism Sadie Anderson and Elizabeth Juckem Junior Division Group Performance Process Paper: 475 words Before our research journey began, neither of us had any clue what direction our project would take us. However, one of us had an extensive knowledge and love for history. The book, “Rejected Princesses” written by Jason Porath, had listed many powerful women in history. Nellie Bly grabbed our attention, leading us both to the direction of such a powerful and courageous woman. We had researched Nellie Bly, looked at her past writing pieces and we were intrigued by her boldness. We then dove headfirst into learning about women and investigative journalism. We began our research from the primary source, “Ten Days in a Mad House”, which was Nellie Bly’s own writing. We had read about the depths she went to, to achieve justice for the less fortunate. We then went from her book and turned to secondary sources in regards to getting a better understanding of her experiences. Websites like Chronicling America, Library of Congress, Mental Floss, and The Smithsonian, which is an online magazine, explained the environment women, similar to Nellie Bly, had to endure during this period of history. From there, we had the task of bringing all of our vast understanding of Nellie Bly together. Initially, we had the idea of only doing Nellie Bly’s “Ten Days in a Madhouse” story and only focusing on mental health barriers. However, as we dug deeper for research, we realized Nellie Bly had broken a bigger barrier: sexism.
