Although we’ve worked on many projects together in our years as writers, we’ve never been a team of only two players. There are always hundreds of people behind any project, and this one was no different in that respect. Where it was different was in how much fun it was to research. We’ve never laughed so hard while working! We’ve also rarely met a group of people who are so optimistic, creative, and energized about what they were doing. We’re going to do our best to thank them all, but because we know we’re bound to miss a few, please accept our apologies before we even begin. The Internet is vast, and YouTube is a big neighborhood, but we honestly feel that we leave this project behind with a whole corral of new friends. We wish all of you success. First, we’d like to thank Aaron Zamost, Corporate Communi- cations, YouTube, for his Johnny-on-the-spot help. Lynn Tornabene of Google was also there just when we needed her. As for the YouTube experts: we’ll start with Michael Buckley of the ever-entertaining, and addictive, WhatTheBuck?! Asa Thibo- daux, you are truly a kind and funny guy. Here’s the deal: if we’re down to our last $10, and you tell us you’re hungry, we’re all going to Taco Bell! He’s a dad who used YouTube to forge a whole new career against some pretty major odds, and then he was kind enough to share his experience with us. To Davide Ricchetti, a guitar-painting artist and a natural wonder, we’d like to say grazie mille. Thank you, Paul “Fitzy” Fitzgerald—a guy who seems to always be having fun and enjoying life. Paula Drum, vice president, Digital Tax Market- ing, H&R Block, showed us that even serious tax types are into YouTube. David Mullings of Realvibez, you were always there when we had a question, and you may have taught us more than anyone about successful marketing on YouTube. Kipkay is one of the ix ACKNOWLEDGMENTS brightest stars in a galaxy of stars, and always willing to help, thanks Kip. Anuja Balasubramanian and Hetal Jannu were wonderful, and we only wish we lived close enough to them so we could invite our- selves for dinner. Watching their YouTube show, ShowMeTheCurry! made us stop for lunch every single time! Arnel Ricafranca of Fit- ness VIP showed us we had nothing to fear but his abs. Tube- Mogul’s David Burch is one of the true pioneers of this new field, and Steve Hall of AdRANTs whose blog of the same name (AdRANTs, not Steve) is something your inbox will enjoy every day. Jon Hilner of the University of Alberta found fame with Diagnosis Wenckebach and showed that even overworked medical students just want to have fun on YouTube. Leah Nelson and Jay Grandin of GiantAntMedia.com, made us take a second (and third) look at how we shower. (Honestly, guys, where did you hide that camera to learn how we shower?) Marc Black created a video that gave Martha Stewart pause, and Bob Thacker, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Advertising at OfficeMax, blew away any precon- ceptions we may have had about “corporate types.” The same is true for Michael Parker of Serena Software.

    December 28, 2018 The Honorable Joseph Simons Chairman Federal Trade Commission 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20580 Dear Chairman Simons, Thank you for inviting public comment on the question of whether U.S. antitrust agencies should publish new vertical merger guidelines, and how those guidelines should address competitive harms, transaction-related efficiencies, and behavioral remedies. We submit these comments on behalf of the Writers Guild of America West (“WGAW”), a labor organization representing more than 10,000 professional writers of motion pictures, television, radio, and Internet programming, including news and documentaries. Our members and the members of our affiliate, Writers Guild of America East (jointly, “WGA”) create nearly all of the scripted entertainment viewed in theaters and on television today as well as most of the original scripted series now offered by online video distributors (“OVDs”) such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Crackle, and more. The Non-Horizontal Merger Guidelines (“Guidelines”), originally issued in 1984,1 are the governing document of U.S. vertical antitrust enforcement. They rely, however, upon outdated economic theories that not only fail to promote and protect competition, but, in some cases, obstruct appropriate antitrust enforcement. Large vertical mergers in key industries have caused harm to consumers and failed to deliver on their promised innovations, efficiencies, and public benefits. The current Guidelines’ bias toward false negatives, or non-findings of harm, enables incumbents to consolidate market power and undermine competition. Recent vertical mergers in the telecommunications and entertainment industries illustrate the deficiencies of the current regulatory regime and provide evidence of the need for new guidelines.

  • In What Way Is the Rhetoric Used in Youtube Videos Altering the Perception of the LGBTQ+ Community for Both Its Members and Non-Members?
    In What Way Is the Rhetoric Used in YouTube Videos Altering the Perception of the LGBTQ+ Community for Both Its Members and Non-Members? NATALIE MAURER Produced in Thomas Wright’s Spring 2018 ENC 1102 Introduction The LBGTQ community has become a much more prevalent part of today's society. Over the past several years, the LGBTQ community has been recognized more equally in comparison to other groups in society. June 2015 was a huge turning point for the community due to the legalization of same sex marriage. The legalization of same sex marriage in June 2015 had a great impact on the LBGTQ community, as well as non-members. With an increase in new media platforms like YouTube, content on the LGBTQ community has become more accessible and more prevalent than decades ago. LGBTQ media has been represented in movies, television shows, short videos, and even books. The exposure of LQBTQ characters in a popular 2000s sitcom called Will & Grace paved the way for LGBTQ representation in media. A study conducted by Edward Schiappa and others concluded that exposure to LGBTQ communities through TV helped educate Americans, therefore reducing sexual prejudice. Unfortunately, the way the LBGTQ community is portrayed through online media such as YouTube has an effect on LGBTQ members and non-members, and it has yet to be studied. Most “young people's experiences are affected by the present context characterized by the rapidly increasing prevalence of new (online) media” because of their exposure to several media outlets (McInroy and Craig 32). This gap has led to the research question does the LGBTQ representation on YouTube negatively or positively represent this community to its members, and in what way is the community impacted by this representation as well as non- members? One positive way the LGBTQ community was represented through media was on the popular TV show Will & Grace.

  • Mediax Research Project Update, Fall 2013
    THE FUTURE OF CONTENT Contests as a catalyst for content creation: Contrasting cases to advance theory and practice UPDATE FALL 2013 FALL mediaX STANFORD UNIVERSITY mediaX connects businesses with Stanford University’s world-renowned faculty to study new ways for people and technology to intersect. We are the industry-affiliate program to Stanford’s H-STAR Institute. We help our members explore how the thoughtful use of technology can impact a range of fields, from entertainment to learning to commerce. Together, we’re researching innovative ways for people to collaborate, communicate and interact with the information, products, and industries of tomorrow. __________________________________________________________________ Contests as a catalyst for content creation: Contrasting cases to advance theory and practice Future of Content Project Update October 2013 __________________________________________________________________ Research Team: Brigid Barron, Associate Professor of Education; Caitlin K. Martin, Senior Researcher, Stanford YouthLab, Stanford Graduate School of Education (SGSE); Sarah Morrisseau, Researcher, Vital Signs Program; Christine Voyer, Researcher, Vital Signs Program; Sarah Kirn, Researcher, Vital Signs Program; Mohamed Yassine, Research Assistant, SGSE __________________________________________________________________ Background New generative platforms and increasing accessibility are changing the nature of who contributes content to the Web and how they do it. Networked learning communities offer young people opportunities to pursue interests and hobbies on their own time while letting them contribute to others’ learning by producing content, engaging in discussion and providing feedback. Qualitative research offers rich portraits of how contributing content actively to online communities can develop social networks, a sense of agency, technical skills, content knowledge and confidence in one’s ability to create (Ito et al., 2009; Barron, Gomez, Pinkard, Martin, in press; Jenkins, 2006).

  • The Musicless Music Video As a Spreadable Meme Video: Format, User Interaction, and Meaning on Youtube
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 3634–3654 1932–8036/20170005 The Musicless Music Video as a Spreadable Meme Video: Format, User Interaction, and Meaning on YouTube CANDE SÁNCHEZ-OLMOS1 University of Alicante, Spain EDUARDO VIÑUELA University of Oviedo, Spain The aim of this article is to analyze the musicless music video—that is, a user-generated parodic musicless of the official music video circulated in the context of online participatory culture. We understand musicless videos as spreadable content that resignifies the consumption of the music video genre, whose narrative is normally structured around music patterns. Based on the analysis of the 22 most viewed musicless videos (with more than 1 million views) on YouTube, we aim, first, to identify the formal features of this meme video format and the characteristics of the online channels that host these videos. Second, we study whether the musicless video generates more likes, dislikes, and comments than the official music video. Finally, we examine how the musicless video changes the multimedia relations of the official music video and gives way to new relations among music, image, and text to generate new meanings. Keywords: music video, music meme, YouTube, participatory culture, spreadable media, interaction For the purposes of this research, the musicless video is considered as a user-generated memetic video that alters and parodies an official music video and is spread across social networks. The musicless video modifies the original meaning of the official-version music video, a genre with one of the greatest impacts on the transformation of the audiovisual landscape in the past 10 years.

  • Youtube Nation
    YouTube Nation Caroline Heldman Occidental College College professors have a front row seat to the latest youth addiction, the side effects of which include bloodshot eyes and late assignment. YouTube, the most popular video sharing website, is the newest media technology craze, and, like other web-based virtual communities (e.g., MySpace and Facebook), logging on has become part of the daily routine for millions of young people. This essay examines the political implications of YouTube. I begin with a brief description of its history, a profile of its users, and the company’s practices. I then analyze the potential political impact of YouTube using examples from the 2006 congressional election cycle, and conclude that this medium will change the face of campaigns in coming decades. Brief History of YouTube YouTube was started by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim, three 20-something employees of PayPal, in order to share videos with their friends. The site was officially activated on February 15, 2005 to modest popularity, and nearly 20 million people now visit the site monthly (USA Today, 2006). Approximately 100 million videos are viewed on a daily basis, and about 65,000 videos are uploaded each day. YouTube is one of the fastest growing websites on the Net in terms of visitors, handily beating the competition, including Yahoo! Video Search, MSN Video Search, MySpace Video, and Google Video. YouTube currently enjoyed 43% of the video sharing market, as measured by number of “hits” (USA Today, 2006), and was named Time Magazine’s 2006 “Invention of the Year.” With fewer than 70 employees and modest operating costs, YouTube was sold for a considerable profit to Google for $1.65 billion in November of 2006.
