We’ve decided to Gabbi Gualtieri emulate the the cover in Coco Peiqing our issue. Ella Reither Designer: Peiqing Ren Writer: Annie Ryan There seems to be a constant bias in journalism today. CNN leans liberal while Fox leans conservative. As a result, “fake news” has become a prevalent term of our society. The reality of what goes on in the world doesn’t seem to be reported as an un- biased report. Journalism gets a bad rap, but we can’t give up on it just yet. Without journalists working to uncover the truth and bring atrocities and injustices to our attention how can we ex- pect anything to change? It was once stated, “Journalism is the fourth branch of government.” Journalism is the only way for the public to fully understand what happens inside the walls of the White House and the tragedies and injustices going on in the Middle East. Despite the “fake news” complaints, there are journalists out there that are working really hard to get to the root of the issues from a neutral stand- point and discover change. For these reasons, Time Mag- azine’s annual “person of the year” is four journalists this year. Time Magazine developed the “Person of the Year” back in 1927. Originally starting as “Man of the Year”, the idea was highlight the individual who influenced history the most - whether for positive or negative reasons. The founders of Time, Henry Luce and Briton Haddon were strong believers in the motto that history is shaped by extraordinary men and women. Today Time has grown and de- veloped and it has become the Time Person of the Year. Each year Time’s December magazine has the face of the person(s) who made an impact that year. Time magazine made a precise effort to show the reality and importance of journalism in the 2018 Time Person of the Year. It was also be the first time a few deceased people made the cover of Time Magazine. The four journalists, dubbed “The Guardians” were a group of journalists who have been heralded for their journalism work. These four journalists have been collectively named person of the year but they are only four of a march larger group of infly- encial journalists.This group of journalists covers media world wide. Lives were threatened when covering Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and even five staffers died from old coverage about an angry gunman. The entire group has either been killed or is currently behind bars. “‘For taking great risks in pursuit of greater truths, for the imperfect but essential quest for facts that are central to civil discourse, for speaking up and for speaking out, the Guardians’ are the Person of the Year,’ Time editor Ed Felsenthal wrote.” These are the journalists doing the dirty work. These are the people that will keep journalism alive because they were willing to fight, they were willing to die for it. Felsenthal added, “It is very rare that a person’s influence grows so immensely in death.” The influence of the Guardians is one that gives us hope as a school, a city, a state, a nation, and a world. There is still greatness in what seems to be a world of trouble. There is still hope that we, as a people, will grow in knowledge and in wisdom in pursuit of peace.

On February 23, 2015, Google released YouTube Kids, an app carefully designed to create a safe online space where children could enjoy their favorite YouTube channels and videos without disturbances. Youtube Kids was the safer alternative to YouTube, parents could easily leave their children unattended while busy. However, Youtube nor Youtube Kids could keep from the plague of millions of videos and channels that produced malicious content targeted towards children. “Many of these disturbing videos contained graphic images of gore, violence, and a sexually suggestive objective.” These videos were able to pass through YouTube’s algorithms without issue. The reason for this? YouTube’s algorithms based passable videos off of titles or captions. The creators of these videos applied key words and phrases like, “surprise”, “review”, “cartoon”, “fun”, and “colorful” to their titles and tagged them as such. To further their attempt, titles and thumbnails relied on famous children’s characters to draw kids in, you’d often see Elsa, Minnie, Mickey, and Paw Patrol adorning the covers. Kids have and still do fall victim to these traps, reports of angered parents and the media caught the attention of many, including YouTube. So tell me, why hasn’t Youtube or any major company whose characters were used in these “kids” videos gone to the fullest extent to restrict them? YouTube KIDS One reason may be the amount of revenue due to billions of views on videos packed with ads, another might be the general free promotion of kids characters on tons of YouTube videos. It is especially difficult to rid of all these videos because of their clever methods to pass off as child friendly and because computerized algorithms can’t really identify them as unsuitable for children. Ultimately, the reasons may not matter as much as the ways in which we could prevent this exploitation. “A simple prevention method is to flag and report the video as inappropriate.” For parents, it would be advised to create a unique playlist with videos that have been reviewed by the parent or guardian for the child to watch. Restricted Mode may alleviate generally mature material from your Youtube account, by opening the account icon and going to settings, one can enable Restricted Mode by clicking on it. YouTube itself to prevent this issue is taking steps forward by having actual people review videos to authorize them as acceptable for YouTube or not, though ultimately it will be very difficult to keep children safe from these videos, it is important to take action now.

  • Media Nations 2019
    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.

  • Youtube Kids: Parent’S Guide
    YouTube Kids: parent’s guide YouTube Kids launched in the UK in November 2015 as a service suitable for younger children with age-appropriate content. As of April 2018, it has gone under some major changes. What do you need to know about YouTube Kids? What is YouTube Kids? YouTube Kids is an app developed by YouTube aimed at delivering age-appropriate content to young children. The app is available on Android, iOS and some Smart TVs. Until recently, the content that appeared on the app was predominantly curated by computer-algorithms and essentially the app was a filtered version of the regular body of videos available on YouTube. However, the app will now have some human curation, by the YouTube Kids team, and allow for greater parental control. What type of content can you expect to find on YouTube Kids? YouTube Kids offers free-to-watch content. This content is made freely available by having advertisements run before videos. Content on YouTube Kids ranges from cartoons to nursery rhymes and from toys reviews to music videos. Currently, the channel with the greatest number of subscribers, 16.8 million, on YouTube Kids is “ChuChu TV Nursery Rhymes and Kids Songs” which produces animated versions of popular children’s rhymes as well as its own songs and educational videos. The second most subscribed channel, with 15 million subscribers, is LittleBabyBum which is another channel centered on animated nursery rhymes. YouTube Kids also offers a paid for service called YouTube Red. This allows children to watch original content produced by YouTube as well as seasons of cartoon favourites such as Postman Pat.

  • Elsagate” Phenomenon: Disturbing Children’S Youtube Content and New Frontiers in Children’S Culture
    Selected Papers of #AoIR2019: The 20th Annual Conference of the Association of Internet Researchers Brisbane, Australia / 2-5 October 2019 EXAMINING THE “ELSAGATE” PHENOMENON: DISTURBING CHILDREN’S YOUTUBE CONTENT AND NEW FRONTIERS IN CHILDREN’S CULTURE Jessica Balanzategui Swinburne University of Technology Contemporary children are turning to online video streaming as an “alternative for TV” (Ha 2018, 1) in increasing numbers (see Australian Communications and Media Authority 2017, 20-22). In addition, US-based global video streaming platforms, primarily YouTube and Netflix, are becoming “more influential in screen production ecologies” when it comes to children’s content (Potter 2017a, 22). Yet, as increasing numbers of children consume much of their video content outside of the legacy media spaces of film and television, serious concerns are being raised in policy, advocacy (Centre for Digital Democracy, 2018), and journalistic (Bridle, 2017) discussions around the globe because many new children’s video streaming genres are not “child-appropriate” according to extant definitions and guidelines, such as the internationally endorsed Children’s Television Charter. Alarms have been raised in relation to new genres on YouTube in particular. For instance, in an influential journalistic exposé, James Bridle (2017) argues that YouTube content seemingly aimed at child-viewers is tantamount to “a kind of infrastructural violence” against children’s wellbeing, a point echoed in many other recent long-form journalistic investigations (see for instance Orphanides 2018). Public concerns about the strange approach to children’s content exhibited by various YouTube genres have become so prevalent that the neologism “Elsagate” is now commonly used in media reportage to describe the scandal.

  • Competitive Dynamics in the Online Video Streaming Industry
    STREAMING WARS: COMPETITIVE DYNAMICS IN THE ONLINE VIDEO STREAMING INDUSTRY Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics Master’s thesis 2020 Authors: Korhonen Aleksi & Rajala Janne International Business & Entrepreneurship Supervisor: Lamberg Juha-Antti ABSTRACT Authors Korhonen, Aleksi & Rajala, Janne Title of thesis Streaming Wars: Competitive Dynamics in the Online Video Streaming Industry Discipline Type of work International Business & Entrepreneurship Master’s thesis Time (month/year) Number of pages 06/2020 118+3 Abstract Digitalization and advances in technologies have changed the world in the past few dec- ades. This has affected consumer behaviour and developed new, more dynamic, indus- tries as well. As a result, competition is fiercer than ever, and competitive advantages are only temporary. This thesis builds on the literature of strategic management and compet- itive dynamics by exploring the competitive interaction of companies in the Subscription Video-on-Demand industry. We seek answers to how competitive advantages are pur- sued within the industry and how the strategic decisions of the companies differ from more traditional industries. To answer this, the press releases of several publicly listed U.S. based SVoD companies were collected and analysed through qualitative content analysis. After that, the connec- tions between the competitive actions were linked through event structure analysis to un- derstand how rivalry affects the companies within the industry. The results show that in contrast to traditional industries, competition in the growing SVoD industry revolves around content, which is enforced through resource building, co- creation, and to some extent, market expansion. The nature of competition is a defensive race to outperform others in the long run as big established companies are also entering the market.
