CABINET DU SECRETAIRE GENERAL 1 August 2006 Dear Ms. Anderson, On behalf of the Secretary-General, I would like to thank you for your letter of 19 July 2006, inviting him to take part in the celebration of the 75th birthday of Archbishop Desmond M.

A cultural audit is a method of gaining a deeper understanding of priority audiences by understanding the pop culture narratives they consume. The project has two overarching goals. The first is to provide evidence-based insights to the foundation’s Voices for Economic Opportunity grantee cohort, a group of organizations who are designing new narratives of poverty to correct misconceptions and address systemic barriers to mobility. The second is to establish a baseline of existing narratives for longitudinal tracking by Harmony Labs, another foundation grantee. The formative research summarized in this report examines how poverty and wealth are constructed in the pop culture narratives in which media consumers are immersed — specifically scripted TV and film, popular music, and top-selling video games.1 In later stages, the Lear Center will expand this analysis to TV news and unscripted content.

    RETHINK AGING Key Findings from Rethink Aging Original Content Videos A Report to The SCAN Foundation November 2017 Hollywood, Health & Society | The Norman Lear Center Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California PREPARED BY Lauren A. Cafferty, M.A. Research Analyst Erica L. Rosenthal, Ph.D. Senior Research Associate EXECUTIVE SUMMARY From an early age, entertainment influences the way we think about the world. We adopt stereotypes that can stay with us past childhood and influence future interactions. The way in which society views aging and older adults has relevance to every individual. However, entertainment portrayals of older adults are often misleading and misrepresentative. While older adults account for a large portion of regular TV viewers, the proportion of screen time they represent does not reflect that reality. With funding from the SCAN Foundation and in collaboration with Next Avenue, Hollywood, Health & Society (HH&S) is working to change cultural narratives around aging. HH&S developed two original videos—The Entrepreneur and The Student—challenging individuals of all ages to reconsider their attitudes and beliefs about aging. This report outlines findings from an experimental study investigating the impact of each of these videos on attitudes towards aging across different demographic groups. Three samples were recruited through Qualtrics panels: young adults age 18-35 (N = 153), adults age 50-65 (N = 155), and hiring managers (N = 156). Within each sample, participants were randomly assigned to view one of the two short videos or an article from NextAvenue.com on aging with dignity. For the two age-based samples, there were relatively minimal differences between the three experimental conditions.

    St. Andrew's Episcopal Church Honoring the Past — Embracing the Future! Downtown Tampa, Florida May 2018 Reverendly Speaking (Peter addressed the people), “Repent therefore, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” —Acts 3:19 Dear People of St. Andrew’s, Sexual abuse scandals have been hitting the political, media and entertainment industries left and right lately. Big names are involved - Harvey Weinstein, Al Franken, Charlie Rose, Louis C.K., Matt Lauer, Dustin Hoffman, Kevin Spacey and others. Many of those implicated or accused have admitted wrongdoing and offered some sort of apology. But, there are apolo- gies, and there are apologies. Let’s begin by going back to Archie Bunker. If you’re of the Boomer generation or older, you remember Norman Lear’s groundbreaking 1970s television sitcom, “All in the Family.” Every Saturday night at 8pm, my parents and I would turn the TV knob (yes, the ‘knob’) to CBS (Channel 2 in New York City) and watch Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton play Archie and Edith Bunker, a husband and wife duo known for Archie’s outbursts and Edith’s compliant behavior. In one scene, Amelia, a cousin of Edith’s, comments on Archie and Edith’s marriage: “Of all the people I know, you’re practically the only one who has a happy marriage.” “Really? Me and Archie? Oh, thank you.” “What’s your secret, Edith?” “Oh, I ain’t got no secret. Archie and me still have our fights.
