  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. In solidarity and support, Megan Abbott (DARE ME) Chris Abbott (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE; CAGNEY AND LACEY; MAGNUM, PI; HIGH SIERRA SEARCH AND RESCUE; DR.

LEE, M AYOR REGINA D ICK-E NDRIZZI, D IRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE DECEMBER 12, 2016 SAM JORDAN’S BAR Application No.: LBR-2016-17-022 Business Name: Sam Jordan’s Bar Business Address: 4004 3rd Street District: District 10 Applicant: Ruth Jordan, Treasurer Nomination Date: October 3, 2016 Nominated By: Mayor Edwin Lee Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Founded in 1959 by Sam Jordan, an important local African American community leader, Sam Jordan’s Bar (formerly Sam Jordan’s Tavern) has served as a neighborhood gathering spot and as hub of African American community organizing for over 50 years. The business is located on Third Street between Galvez and Hudson avenues in the Bayview neighborhood. The building is designated as San Francisco Landmark #263 for its association with the live and work of Sam Jordan. Through Jordan’s advocacy and leadership, the bar was used to support the educational, economic, political, and cultural vitality of the Bayview’s African American community by hosting scholarship fundraisers, hosting African American businessmen’s luncheons, political brainstorming sessions, and the Black Panther Breakfast Program that provided hot meals to school children. Cultural events at the bar highlighted local musicians as well as famous musical performers including Ike and Tina Turner, Sugar Pie DeSanto, and Bobby Freeman. Jordan was the first African American to run for San Francisco Mayor and although he did not win, he made significant contributions to the local African American civil rights movement and left a lasting impact on his community.

  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

    KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES: SOCIOECONOMIC CLASS REPRESENTATION IN SITCOMS by ALEXANDRA HICKS A THESIS Presented to the School of Journalism and Communication and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2014 A• Abstracto( the Thesis of Alexandra Hicks for 1he degree ofBachelor of Arts in the School of Journalism and Communication to be talcen June, 2014 Title: Keeping Up With the Jonescs: Socioeconomic Class Representation in Sitcoms Awroa:&~ This thesis examines the representation of socioeconomic class in situation comedies. Through the influence of the advertising industiy, situation comedies (sitcoms) have developed a pattem throughout history of misrepresenting ~ial class, which is made evident by their portrayals ofdifferent races, genders, and professions. To rectify the IKk ofprevious studies on modem comedies, this study analyzes socioeconomic class representation on sitcoms that have aired in the last JS years by taking a sample ofseven shows and comparing the estimated cost of characters' residences to the amount of money they would likely earn in their given profession. 1be study showed that modem situation comedies misrepresent socioeconomic class by portraying characters living in residences well beyond what they could afford in real life. Accurate demonstration ofsocioeconomic class on television is imperative be<:ause images presented on television genuinely influence viewers• perceptions of reality. Inaccurate portrayals ofclass could cause audiences to develop distorted views ofmember.; of socioeconomic classes and themselves. u Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Debra Merskin for inspiring me to examine television in an in-depth and critical manner.

  • XYZ PRODUCTIONS SHOW NAME EPISODE 000 Script By
    XYZ PRODUCTIONS SHOW NAME EPISODE 000 TIMECODE FULL NAME DIALOGUE 01:00:00 VO Last year, more than 5,000 failing bars nationwide closed their doors for good. If things don’t change soon, Angry Ham’s Garage in Framingham, Massachusetts will become just another statistic. Eighteen months ago, Tim Hanna entered into a partnership with friends Richie Olsen and former professional hockey player Lyndon “L.B.” Byers to open Angry Ham’s Garage. But L.B. and Richie’s troubles with the law prevented the trio from obtaining a liquor license. 01:00:26 SELECTMAN I’m not quite sure in my mind that he has demonstrated to me the character required for a license. LYNDON “L.B.” A guy with a DUI that wants to open a bar. Yeah, BYERS red flag, but I admit I made a mistake, and I paid for it. VO In order to appease the city, Tim had to take sole ownership of the bar and put up all the money himself, hiring L.B. to do promotions and master mechanic Richie to give the bar its automotive edge. TIM HANNA They do work for me, or they work for Angry Ham’s, but they’re just no longer allowed to be owners. 01:00:54 VO But their 10-month battle with the city left them with a bad reputation around town. UNIDENTIFIED People tend to think they’re kind of like on the FEMALE rougher side. UNIDENTIFIED The guys kind of have a little reputation. MALE VO And when the doors finally opened, customers stayed away.
