Factual Entertainment: How to Make Media Literacy Popular
TRANSITIONS FORUM BEYOND PROPAGANDA | AUGUST 2016 Factual Entertainment: How to make media literacy popular by Paul Copeland www.li.com www.prosperity.com ABOUT THE LEGATUM INSTITUTE The Legatum Institute is an international think tank and educational charity focused on promoting prosperity. We do this by researching our core themes of revitalising capitalism and democracy. The Legatum Prosperity IndexTM, our signature publication, ranks 142 countries in terms of wealth and wellbeing. Through research programmes including The Culture of Prosperity, Transitions Forum, the Centre for Character and Values, and the Economics of Prosperity, the Institute seeks to understand what drives and restrains national success and individual flourishing. The Institute co-publishes with Foreign Policy magazine, Democracy Lab, whose on-the-ground journalists report on political transitions around the world. The Legatum Institute is based in London and an independent member of the Legatum Group, a private investment group with a 30 year heritage of global investment in businesses and programmes that promote sustainable human development. ABOUT THE BEYOND PROPAGANDA SERIES The 21st century is seeing a new scale of media manipulation, psychological war and disinformation. The technological capacity of the information age, a more liquid use of ideology by authoritarian regimes, and the West’s own difficulties with democratic values have redefined the threat of propaganda. The Transitions Forum’s ‘Beyond Propaganda’ series investigates these challenges and aims to identify solutions. The programme is led by Peter Pomerantsev. Find out more at www.li.com/programmes/beyond-propaganda The Legatum Institute would like to thank the Legatum Foundation for their sponsorship and for making this report possible.

Race and the Global Popularity of the Cosby Show Timothy Havens INDIANA UNIVERSITY
‘The biggest show in the world’: race and the global popularity of The Cosby Show Timothy Havens INDIANA UNIVERSITY Introduction The Cosby Show changed the face of American television and set a new standard for representing African American families in non-stereotyped roles. It rewrote the book on syndication when Viacom required stations to bid for the privilege of airing the show (Heuton, 1990), and it fuelled the networks’ efforts to have the FCC’s ﬁnancial-syndication rules repealed to allow NBC to share in the show’s $600 million syndication revenues (Andrews, 1992). The Cosby Show also profoundly altered international television syndication, proving the international marketability of the now staple comedy format, establishing Viacom as a major distributor during a time of global deregulation, and drawing dedicated audiences as only Dallas and Dynasty previously had. While many scholars have addressed the show’s domestic popularity (Boyd, 1997; Downing, 1988; Gray, 1995; Press, 1991; Taylor, 1989), its international acceptance remains a virtual mystery.1 Recently, the world has witnessed a dramatic increase in the export of middle-class African American situation comedies which are directly linked to The Cosby Show’s success. This article investigates the various economic, textual and audience practices that led to the show’s international success, and that continue to make middle-class African American sitcoms lucrative international fare. In an era of increased interdependence of television markets, where shows must exhibit international appeal ‘before anything moves forward’ (Schapiro, 1991: 29) in domestic production, The Cosby Show set the representational and marketing standards that continue to determine what types of African American shows get produced, and where Media, Culture & Society © 2000 SAGE Publications (London, Thousand Oaks and New Delhi), Vol.
