  • Roger Mcnamee, Zucked: Waking up to the Facebook Catastrophe, New York, NY: Penguin Press, 2019, 352 Pp., $28 (Hardcover)
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), Book Review 4169–4172 1932–8036/2019BKR0009 Roger McNamee, Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe, New York, NY: Penguin Press, 2019, 352 pp., $28 (hardcover). Reviewed by Heidi E. Huntington West Texas A&M University, USA In 2016, Roger McNamee, a longtime tech insider and venture capitalist, began to notice something unusual happening on Facebook. He observed a rise in viral images and other fear- and anger-based content coming from political-oriented Facebook groups. His hunch was that “bad actors were exploiting Facebook’s architecture and business model to inflict harm on innocent people” (p. 5). As a onetime mentor to Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, McNamee felt he had to do something. Shortly before the 2016 U.S. election, McNamee reached out to Zuckerberg (whom he had advised not to sell Facebook back in 2006) and to COO Sheryl Sandberg (whom McNamee had suggested for the job) to alert them to his observations. Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe tells the story of McNamee’s efforts to convince Facebook to change tactics regarding some key aspects of its platform to be more socially responsible, and his subsequent, unlikely journey into anti-Facebook activism when his concerns went unanswered among Facebook’s executives. A tech advocate, McNamee likens himself to Jimmy Stewart’s character in the classic 1954 film Rear Window, unwittingly drawn into taking an active role in an ongoing crisis. Zucked is part personal narrative, part doomsday prophecy, and part call to action. Its focus is also ultimately broader than a critique of Facebook alone, using McNamee’s experience with Facebook as an entry point to examine the role of big tech companies in society more generally.

Jason Miller Senior Content Marketing Manager, Marketing Solutions 10 Essential Posts from LinkedIn Marketing Influencers 1 The Biggest Marketing Lesson from Chipotle’s ‘Scarecrow’ Video (and It’s Not to ‘Start with a Billion Dollars’) by Ann Handley Last week, the fast-food company Chipotle released a new marketing program, “The Scarecrow,” which depicts a kind of creepy, dystopian world that makes a heart-wrenching statement about the sorry state of industrial food production. In less than a week after its release on Wednesday, 9/11, the video had attracted 3.1 million views on YouTube, almost 20,000 likes, and more than 4,000 comments. It was picked up by countless media sources (Slate, the Christian Science Monitor, NPR). If it’s not the most poignant moment I’ve ever seen in marketing, I don’t know what is.

    YaleWomen, Inc., in partnership with the Yale Alumni Association, presents YaleWomen Award for Excellence Working Toward Gender Equity Panel Discussion and Award Dinner March 7, 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award Anita F.

Lhamon ’96 JD Ann Olivarius ’77, ’86 MBA, ’86 JD Impact Award Araceli Campos ’99 BA C’Ardiss Gardner Gleser ’08 BA Kamala Lopez BA Rebecca Reichmann Tavares ’78 BA Vera Wells ’71 BA Platinum Sponsor National Press Club, Washington D.C. Dear Yale Alums and Friends, We are thrilled to welcome you to the YaleWomen Award for Excellence celebration! When YaleWomen was founded in 2011 – following the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the coeducation of Yale College and the 140th anniversary of the coeducation of the Graduate & Professional Schools – it was a “big idea” full of possibilities. During these first eight years, we have grown – notably as an all-volunteer organization -- in many different ways: in numbers and complexity, driven by the clarity and focus that come with being mission-centered and market-smart. And the importance of our work has become more evident. This year’s Award for Excellence celebration exemplifies the power of individual women to catalyze change and to inspire us to exert ourselves to take action on issues we believe in. The opportunity for all of us here today to honor Anita F. Hill ’80 JD, Catherine E. Lhamon ’96 JD, and Ann Olivarius ’77, ’86 MBA, ’86 JD as Lifetime Achievement awardees; and Araceli Campos ’99 BA, C’Ardiss Gardner Gleser ’08 BA, Kamala Lopez BA, Rebecca Reichmann Tavares ’78 BA, and Vera Wells ’71 BA as our inaugural Impact awardees, is both extraordinary and humbling.
