  • First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006
    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

Though the printed word is essential in learning, educators have been taking notice of the new visual and oratory stimuli and incorporated them into classroom teaching. The purpose of this idea packet is to further introduce teacher colleagues to this methodology and share a compilation of films which may be easily implemented in secondary social studies instruction. Though this project focuses in grades 6-12 social studies we believe that media should be infused into all K-12 subject areas, from language arts, math, and foreign languages, to science, the arts, physical education, and more. In this day and age, students have become accustomed to acquiring knowledge through mediums such as television and movies. Though books and text are essential in learning, teachers should take notice of the new visual stimuli. Films are familiar in the everyday lives of students.

  • From Betty White to Sandra Bullock, the 10 Stars America Puts the Most Faith In
    The Star Economy Hollywood's Most Trustworthy Celebrities Forbes Staff, 02.08.11, 06:00 AM EST From Betty White to Sandra Bullock, the 10 stars America puts the most faith in. Los Angeles -- Audiences can't seem to get enough of Betty White, whether she's standing at an awards show podium, starring in a sitcom or hosting Saturday Night Live. Turns out they have a tremendous amount of faith in her too, according to E-Poll Market Research, which has named the 89-year-old star among the most trusted celebrities in America. To determine which other stars the public has come to count on, we reached out to the California-based polling company, which ranks more than 6,000 celebrities on 46 different personality attributes, including trustworthiness and likability. "People are hardwired to 'worship' something, and celebrities are akin to modern-day religious icons," says James Houran, a clinical psychologist who researches the topic. "We trust them because we feel we know them--they are familiar and successful, and people want to copy them in an effort to feel successful too." The trouble with this: What we know is simply an on-screen persona, which we subconsciously confuse, or even substitute, for an off-screen one. Very often, that's by design. In a TMZ-fueled culture with a seemingly insatiable appetite for all things celebrity, these stars and the pricey publicity teams that they employ go to great lengths to ensure that details of their private lives remain precisely that. To be sure, some are more successful at it than others (think Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen).
