Any site at the Red Dress Awards visitor today can’t miss its persistent presence. Continued on page 4 WSJ. And New York Times T Fashion Ad Juggernauts Continue Spring has sprung nicely for the newspaper magazines' previews. Like Punxsutawney Phil and his fellow groundhogs, the women's fashion spring previews in WSJ. and The New York Times T are not seeing their shadows. WSJ. publisher Anthony Cenname tells min that the March issue to be inserted in the February 13 Wall Street Journal carries 100 advertising pages. They're not only up sharply from the 82 in 2015 and 69 in 2014, but are also fraction- ally above the 100 from the September 2015 Fall Preview, setting an all-time record for the eight-year-old brand. At the NYT, magazine director Karen Farina says that the 156 ad pages in the February 14 T Women's Fashion are the edi- tion's largest since the 172 carried in the pre-recessionary February 2008. Besides the sum being up from last February's 143 and 2014's 136, it was not that far from the 165 in T Women's Fashion's Fall Preview last August. Continued on page 2 David Granger Put the Emotion Back into Esquire The departing editor-in-chief was innovative, irreverent and nearly iconic. Last Monday, when Granger accepted Esquire's 17th National Magazine Award during his 19-year tenure as editor-in-chief for Matthew Teague's poignant "The Friend" essay, he quipped: “I’m so happy about this I’m just gonna quit." The self-depre- cation came three days after the Hearst hierarchy announced that Granger will be succeeded at Esquire by Town & Country editor-in-chief Jay Fielden effective March 31. Editorially, Fielden will be entering a more stable atmosphere at Esquire than what Granger faced in June 1997 when the GQ executive editor was hired to succeed Ed Kosner by former Hearst Magazines president Cathie Black. "It was a confused, muddled publication, unsteady on its feet, unsure of its role," wrote the late Ad Age columnist James Brady at the time. Continued on page 2 © 2016 Access Intelligence, LLC.

There is an irreverent interactivity baked into the novel NewsGIF app. It presents news headlines and bullet points as a cascade of animated GIFs that are determined in some part by other users. The main feed lets you choose among trend- ing tags like #Election2016 or #WeedWatcher and #WTFChina?. When you tap an animated GIF, usually a lighthearted visual pun on the headline, you get real news but in the form of three bullet-pointed sentences. You can click to the original story source, or post the GIF to Fa- cebook, Instagram or Twitter. The cool interactivity comes in when you tap a button that lets you add a different GIF option, or even your own image or upvote the content. You can also set alerts from the app when someone else edits the GIF. While some of the interactivity could be more clearly explained, I like the winsome nature of the app’s approach to news. In the new world of news driven by audiences rather than editors, it is not surprising to see an app like BriefMe use social signals to rank a feed of the ten most popular stories from around the Web. It scores each item with an equation that includes virality, Facebook and Twitter activity, which it breaks down for you at the tap of a button.

  • Self(Ie)-Discipline: Social Regulation As Enacted Through the Discussion of Photographic Practice
    International Journal of Communication 9(2015), Feature 1716–1733 1932–8036/2015FEA0002 Self(ie)-Discipline: Social Regulation as Enacted Through the Discussion of Photographic Practice ANNE BURNS Loughborough University, School of Art, UK Keywords: photography, discipline, Foucault, gender, normativity Introduction This article argues that online commentary about the use and nature of selfies has a regulatory social function in that there is a connection between the discursive construction of selfie practice and the negative perception of selfie takers. Beyond a critique of photographic form or content, the online discussion of selfies reflects contemporary social norms and anxieties, particularly relating to the behavior of young women. The knowledge discursively produced in relation to selfie taking supports patriarchal authority and maintains gendered power relations by perpetuating negative feminine stereotypes that legitimize the discipline of women’s behaviors and identities. Using textual and visual examples, this article analyzes how the popular discourse regarding selfies produces social organization in two ways: First, the repeated criticism of the selfie is extended to the selfie taker in a way that brings selfies into being as problematic (Butler, 1990). Second, the denigration of the selfie is then used to enforce hierarchies and express prejudice and thus fosters an acceptance of discipline especially targeted at young women (Foucault, 1977). The selfie occurs at the nexus of disciplinary discourses of photography, gender, and social media. In addition to combining these disciplinary strands, the discussion of selfies also illustrates Foucault’s “capillary” conception of power as a dissipated social process exercised across networks through discourse (1977, p. 198). This is not a straightforward imposition of dominance on a subordinated minority but an example of the legitimization of the principles of social organization by virtue of their appearing to originate from everywhere (Foucault, 1977).
