19990620: Hope, Fish, Despair
Two hungry cats saw a big fish on the frozen lake park. They excitedly jump straight to the frozen lake where the fish away, to the front paw is caught is flexible, persevering fish separated by a layer of ice, visible touch them, spent a long time effort, still to no avail. Finally, the only hope, fish sigh, the disappointing.
What.
i was reading fine and then ???
fish sigh, the disappointing
Best. Story. Ever.
Global Media (MCST 4010) Critical Thinking #5 -- The Future of Global Media due 11/16 @ 11:59pm
This is your chance to apply everything you’re learned and we’ve discussed during our term together. Your final Critical Thinking post is both a creative opportunity and a synthesis project with variability in how you want to approach it. In a minimum of 750 words, use the framework for prediction and change in the three chapters from the Klosterman book, But What If We’re Wrong? you have already read for class [Intro & Ch. 1, “A Brief Examination...” (p. 1-17); Ch. 5, “Burn Thy Witches” (p. 95-131)], and Ch. 8, “A Sudden Death (Over Time)” to predict how you see global media changing in the next ten years. You can focus on a particular segment of the media (news, film, television, social media, etc.) or come up with a grand theory for global media as a whole. Consider possible shifts in national and cultural influence (remember the different cultures around -- for example, how this influences journalism in Western nations/US vs. the Middle East vs. Asian vs. Africa; or the rise of Turkish media or Chinindia), changes in technology, potential for areas of cultural appropriation/appreciation/or hybridity, or perhaps something else completely different you see happening. You can also apply what you’ve learned through our media monitoring projects! Your prediction must focus on MEDIA and be rooted in a.) Klosterman’s chapters, b.) our other course readings and c.) any other outside research you deem necessary -- I’m leaving that up to you. You must support your argument thoroughly and solidly and hyperlink or use APA to properly cite and and all sources, as always. What images or media you bring into this is up to you, too. Do your thing and wow me! I’m eager to see what you come up with here. Go nuts and bring it all together here at the end!
This assignment is due on Wednesday, 11/16 at 11:59 pm MT. NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED!!!
Media Industries (MCST 2010) Media Reflection #2 due Wednesday, 11/16 @ 6pm MT
Your final assignment for this class is quite simple: to bookend the media reflection you wrote about your media use to start this term, now write a reflection that looks at your relationship with the media with the new information and context you gained in this course. So, in a minimum of 500 words and with whatever images or media you want to use, give me a reflection that addresses these two questions: How has your relationship with the media you use changed as a result of this class?
What will you take away from this class as a media consumer, and what do you think its lasting impression on you will be?
How you go about this is up to you, but remember that NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT. It’s the last assignment, and due to my deadline to submit grades, you MUST post it no later than 6pm MT on Wednesday, November 16th.
I’ve very much enjoyed our term together and thank you for your hard work. I look forward to reading your reflections and wish you luck!
15 things I tell myself when I don't want to work/study
1. You are very lucky and privileged to have access to almost unlimited knowledge and you should appreciate that. 2. Be one of those rare people who step over their insecurities and succeed. 3. Only 5 minutes. Only today. (Repeat it 5 minutes later and every day). 4. You will know what to do as soon as you start. Ideas never appear from inactivity. 5. Make yourself proud. 6. One hour every day doesn’t feel much but it’s 365 hours a year. You can’t not succeed after so much work. 7. It’s not supposed to be easy. Nothing good is easy. 8. If you had a child to look after, you’d make them study because you want them to accomplish something. Don’t you love yourself? 9. “Everything you want is on the other side of fear” George Adair 10. Every mistake increases our chance to make progress. 11. If you give up now, you’ll have to return to this later anyway but from the very beginning. 12. Let the process be your result. 13. Every moment you thought your fears would suppress you has become the time you made it. 14. Maybe you think you can never find something to use your skills and mindset for. But if you continue investing in what matters to you, it will find its way out there. 15. I allow you to think globally. You have a right to the boldest dream.
Media Industries (MCST 2010) Critical Thinking #3 due Wednesday, 11/2 @ 11:59pm MT
This will be your most creative, and likely your most challenging, creative thinking post in this course. In this post, you are going to apply the three chapters of the Klosterman book, But What If We’re Wrong?, we read as a class (Introduction: “But What If We’re Wrong?” p. 1-12; Chapter 1: “A Brief Examination as to Why This Book is Hopeless...” p. 13-17; and Chapter 8: “Sudden Death (Over Time)”) and our upcoming class readings discussions on forecasting (Diffusion of Innovations Theory, Generational Theory, SWOT analysis) to predict the future of ONE specific medium/media platform in either 5 years OR 10 years -- explain why you chose the timeline you did and support your forecasting with research. Media/platform examples include:
print books
print newspapers
an online news property
broadcast television
cable television
broadcast radio
satellite radio
a public medium (PBS, NPR/public radio, community radio)
Netflix
Hulu
Spotify
Tumblr
YouTube
fan fiction
If you have an idea of a medium you would like to write your forecast about, but you aren’t sure if it is acceptable or will work, you must contact me about it either in person for via my JWU account no later than the end of the day Thursday, 10/27.
To perform your forecast, I suggest that you read a fourth chapter in the Klosterman book, Chapter 2: “A Quaint and Curious Volume of (Destined-to-Be) Forgotten Lore (p. 19-58). You should also use our other class readings and discussion notes. You also may, and should, perform outside research (popular press sources will likely be the most helpful) to guide and support your prediction. What research you do, is up to you, but you must apply (and make good use of) the three required chapters of the Klosterman book in your analysis (and cite the page numbers you are using either in your text or as parenthetical citations at the end of the sentences where you are citing the book). As always, you may hyperlink popular press articles, but you must use APA parenthetical citations and a works cited list for any chapters from other books or academic journal articles.
The more research you do, the better your work and grade will be. Any claims you make that are not your own or any data or quotations you use or refer to or any information that is neither general knowledge or your own idea MUST have a source linked or otherwise cited -- failure to do so will be plagiarism and receive a failing grade. I’m serious about this. Have the writing center help you with this if you are unclear. It must be clear what are your original ideas, and what is the research you are using to build those ideas -- and your ideas must have a basis in fact. What and how many images or media clips you use are up to you, but they should illustrate or demonstrate your points, and your text should set them up/refer to them rather than just have them as decoration (with the exception of your headlining image at the top of your post). I think you know what I expect by now.
Your post should be a minimum of 750 words, apply the concepts in the required Klosterman chapters as well as our other class readings and discussions, and forecast the future of one medium 5 OR 10 years from now. You should consider whether or not the medium will still exist, if not, why not, what disrupted it and took its place and why, did it change and stick around and if so how, who uses it and who owns it. Other than that, you can can be as creative as you like with this. I’m eager to see what you do! This assignment is due Wednesday, 11/2 @ 11:59pm MT.
Global Media (MCST 4010) Critical Thinking #4: Media Monitoring Project due Friday, 11/4 @11:59pm
Now that you have spent a month (Sept. 28-Oct. 26) following your selected foreign newspaper, it’s time to wrap it up with an analysis of your experience with the paper, its coverage, and its role in both its home country and region and global media. This assignment is a little different from the others, as it’s going to be more a journal (not a personal journal) of your study of this paper. You’ve already done most of the research, now you just have to stitch it all together. So, for this post, you will need to do the following:
Use the The World Factbook study by the CIA to look up the profile of the country your paper serves and combine that with any outside research you have done on your country. Write a brief 300-500-word profile of your country, including its media, which is listed under communication in The World Factbook.
Provide an analysis of the role your paper plays in the country it serves based on the profile you create. Include information on your paper’s history, ownership (and probably its ownership history), what it covers, how it is organized, its circulation and target audience (and how you have come to your conclusion about that audience), its political and cultural role in its country and global media, if it applies, and any and everything else you think you should include.
Provide a comprehensive analysis of your paper’s coverage based on the articles you highlighted and shared with the class during our meetings and via Facebook over the past month. Include analysis of the quality of its journalism, what this coverage tells you about the role of the media and the place journalism has in the community it serves (remember how we talked about the differences between the cultural and political roles of journalism in different parts of the world such as the U.S., the Middle East, and Africa). You will likely need to conduct some research here and hyperlink or provide works cited for your sources in this section. Also hyperlink any articles from your paper that you discuss. Consider and answer the following questions as they apply: What did you learn about the country from its press? How does your country’s political structure influence the press coverage? Who makes news? How do you think the country perceives itself? How diverse is the coverage?Were there any stories on the US or were there any stories about global concerns in the US papers?What, if any role, does this paper play in global media? Why or why not?
Conclude your post by detailing your personal learning experience in monitoring your newspaper for the last month. This is where you get to put yourself in the story and can and should write from a first-person perspective. Wrap it up with a neat little bow.
Your post should be a minimum of 1000 words and include images, links, and other media that support and demonstrate the points you make in your analysis. You must provide hyperlinked or APA-cited sources to support your claims and make your argument. How many and what you use is up to you, you just need to research and source your work adequately.
This assignment is due on your Tumblr Friday, November 4th at 11:59pm.
MCST 2010 Critical Thinking #1
Google, it started as a name of a company and eventually was added to the Oxford English Dictionary as a verb in 2006. Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were studying to obtain their Ph. Ds at Stanford University on September 4th, 1998. It started as a private company but was later IPO’d on August 19, 2004. Although the company is public and Jeff and Sergey only control 14% of the shares, they still maintain 56% of the stockholder voting power. Then on August 10th, 2015, Google created a Holding Company called Alphabet, which is now the official owner of Google. So Alphabet owns Google along with many other businesses, and Google owns the Google Search Engine, the AdWords & AdSense platforms, Google Maps, YouTube, Android, and the Google Play store.
The structure of Alphabet’s holding is without a doubt horizontal integration. They own a variety of different businesses in a lot of different industries and sectors which allow them to extend their reach as a company. The horizontal integration does not stop there. Google, which is one piece of Alphabets horizontal integration, is also integrated horizontally with all of its holdings. Instead of vertically integrating like Disney where they would control every aspect of their product from end to end, Google’s holdings are all in different types of businesses where they only control one thing in each of these sectors, their product. They don’t control the platforms their product is used on in most cases, where people are using their products, how they are getting the products and things like this.
By integrating horizontally Google is able to create a variety of products and platforms that are all in different industries allowing them to really spread their reach as a company. In addition, Google makes really great products that often become the industry leader for each sector they are in. Their map service is by far the best map service available, same with their search engine, their ad platforms and their video platform. Not only is their reach greatly expanded because they are horizontally integrated but it is really blown up because they are often the best product available in every sector they are in. And in the case of video platforms, YouTube by far completely dominates this industry.
YouTube was originally created in 2005 by 3 former PayPal employees. Only a year after it was created, Google saw the potential of the platform and purchased it for the sum of $1.65 billion dollars(3). The reason Google purchased YouTube is because it compliments their main product, their search engine, extremely well. Many people think of YouTube as a place to be entertained but that’s not why Google bought it at all. Sure, YouTube is full of entertaining content, but why Google snatched it up is because they saw the potential it had as a search engine. And as of now YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world. Is this a coincidence? No. Google saw this coming and they were ahead of the curve like they are with nearly every product they release.
So why does Google care so much about search engines that they were willing to buy YouTube for such a high price? Is it some unethical reason to dominate the internet and steal all of our information? No. Two words. Ad Revenue. Google makes 90% of their revenues from their advertising platform and there is no better place to have an ad appear than as a search result from someone typing in a very specific query. You literally can not have a more targeted ad. And with YouTube being the number one place people go to see product reviews and tutorials, it makes perfect sense that they would want to be in control of this platform that is perfect for advertisers as this is where Google makes all of their money.
In terms of media concentration, this does give Google nearly complete control over the search engine market. By owning the two largest search engines in the world, they are able to capture well over 70% of all the searches that occur on planet earth. This gives them the ability to have massive control over what people are going to see when looking for things on the internet. And unfortunately, Google has been found to skew the search results in favor of their products in order to boost their revenue. From a consumer’s perspective, I can see how this looks bad or unethical. But from a business perspective, I don’t think it is. Google is not a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing people the most relevant information in the world. They are a business and as a business, it is their duty to maximize their revenues on behalf of their shareholders. In fact, Google could actually get in legal trouble if they weren’t doing this.
Overall, this media concentration does provide the public more good than bad. Information is more accessible than ever before in the history of the universe and this gives people tremendous power. Now people can literally learn about anything they can think of thanks to Google and their search engines. You can find products you would have never known existed, and find people you would have never been able to connect with before by simply typing in a few keywords. You can literally find anything that a college, university, or book would teach you via a Google search for free. Google’s search engines give people more access to information they would have otherwise never been able to reach and this makes mankind as a whole so much better. To argue that this is a bad thing would be like arguing the introduction of books or writing was a bad thing because it gave people information they previously could not access.
So in conclusion, Google purchasing YouTube does provide Google with immense control over the search engine marketplace but at the end of the day, this has without a doubt benefited the public interest at large. People who argue against this would likely be the same kind of people who were saying books and writing would be the downfall of human civilization. Knowledge is power, and thanks to Google people all over the world have more access to power than any other time in human history.

Media Industries (MCST 2010) Critical Thinking #2: Gender and the Media due 10/19 @ 11:59pm
Ok, it’s time to really get you applying what we’re been reading, watching, and talking about in class – and let you be a little creative and research something that interests you personally. After doing the readings and watching Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In this week, you get to choose a media text and analyze how it uses gender representation to either reinforce or dismantle (or possibly both) the harmful gender roles discussed in our course materials. Your text can be an episode of a TV show, a film, a song or music video, a social media site or feed, a radio program, a website, or a news site or program. I’m also open to other ideas, but you MUST clear them with me first.
For this assignment, select your text, spend time watching it, listening to it, or exploring it, and then do some research into its production, who owns it (look into corporate ownership)/is responsible for it, what other texts are related to it, what critics and the media have said about it and the gender issues you see in it, who its audience is, and what cultural impact and meaning it has.
The minimum requirements for your post are as follows:
750-1000 words
three hyperlinked popular press sources
one academic journal article cited using APA in-text citation with a full reference at the end of your post (see the Writing Guidelines posted on ULearn) – the librarians can help you with this
at least three images or media links that demonstrate or illustrate your points and the gender representations under discussion
Your analysis should do the following:
Give background into the text you have chosen (and explain why you selected it)
Describe the gender portrayals in your text and explain how they reinforce or dismantle the gender roles discussed in our materials this week – be sure to have a clear thesis and support it with examples and sources
Make a case for who the target audience of the text is
Analyze why the producers/corporate owners of this text would want those gender representations and how they might profit or benefit from it
Make a case for the impact of this text and the gender roles in it
Be sure to focus on your text – don’t try to tackle the entire state of the media. As I said, I’m open to creative ideas with this project – check with me if you have questions. You can certainly intersect race or other identities with this, too, if you’ve read ahead or want to do research. The librarians can help you, and I’m here to advise you via email, too. Touch base if you have questions.
This assignment is due Wednesday, 10/19 at 11:59pm on your Tumblr.
Reblogging this Media Industries assignment to put it back at the top of my blog for ease of use. Remember to like or reblog this post so you can find it easily from your own blogs when you go to work on your post.
This assignment’s deadline is changed to Saturday, 10/22 at 11:59pm.
Global Media (MCST 4010) Critical Thinking #3: Foreign Film Critique due 10/22 @ 11:59pm
This is a long post with a three-part assignment. Please read carefully and do each part in order.
FIRST… You will need to select and watch a narrative film that is not a martial arts film or a documentary and was produced and filmed with non-American actors in a nation other than the U.S. or Great Britain. It can be in English as its original language, but if it was originally filmed and released in a language other than English, you need to watch the non-English version (no watching the English dub). You may elect a film from the list below or from the international section on Netflix or another source. If you are unclear if your selection is appropriate, contact Dr. Sugar at her JWU email address ASAP to discuss it. As I have mentioned before, you should do some research into your film before you select it for this project to make sure that it interests you and that its content is not likely to be a problem for you. You are responsible for doing a little leg work and self-care. If you have questions about your film, however, I am most happy to answer informed questions! These films are in the JWU library DVD collection and on reserve for you for overnight check-out behind the circulation desk:
Princess Mononoke Spirited Away A Separation Oldboy (Korean version) Amelie City of God Eat Drink Man Woman Like Water for Chocolate Metropolis Pan’s Labyrinth Slumdog Millionaire
In addition, you may find these suggested films from other sources and use them: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night Walkabout Rabbit-Proof Fence Il Postino Netflix also has a large and excellent selection under their “International” section (particularly with regard to Nollywood films) that you may choose from with my advance approval, so go online and check out your options. If you see a film on there you think you want to use, ask me for clearance ASAP. These films from that selection are pre-approved, but I’m open to lots of other options from there and other sources: E Tu Mama Tambien Blue is the Warmest Color (NC-17) Cinema Paradiso NEXT… Once you have selected your film, ENTER IT INTO THIS FORM, or come to class on Wednesday, October 12th with your selection (submitting it later than that deadline will result in grade deductions on your final post). FINALLY…
In a minimum of 1000 words with a minimum of three images or video clips that illustrate/demonstrate your points or provide additional information and four hyperlinked popular press sources and one academic journal article or academic (nor reference) book chapter about a film or media issue you are addressing in your post, write a critique of your film and analysis of the significance of role its as a storyteller and representation for the national identity of the country that produced it. However, keep in mind that you should as many sources as you need to support your argument and provide reference to any data or other statements or assertions that are not your own – failure to do so is plagiarism and an honor code violation (see our syllabus). Academic sources like journal articles and book chapters provide information and insight into larger cultural issues on media
Since writing a piece like this will be new to many of you, it may help to follow this structure (you can mix it up a bit as you need to):
Step 1: Offer your overall impression of the film and narratively introduce the movie’s title, director, and key actors. [Note: information on who was involved with and in your film can be found on Wikipedia and www.imdb.com] Step 2: Very briefly summarize the plot of the film (this should be one short paragraph, two tops). Step 3: Introduce the issues specific to the culture, history, and or social and political environment of the origin nation/region the film portrays and addresses. Give some context to the larger cultural and/or global landscape into this issue fits. This is where you are going to have to do some serious research and provide sources. Do not shortchange your efforts here – get the librarians to help you. Step 4: Explain the role this film seeks to play in its national/regional identity and its role in/importance as a global media text. Step 5: Positive things you thought about the film, what did you like? Why? Use descriptive words to discuss the plot, setting, techniques and effects used, music, etc. Step 6: Negative things you thought about the film, what didn’t you like? Why? Comment on the same type of things that you mentioned in step 5. Step 7: Conclusion paragraph–your last opportunity to guide the reader. Summarize and strongly restate your opinions. Here is an example of a similar film critique Olivia Redmann wrote about a film that was a new media portrayal for our Critical Perspectives in New Media course last spring that can serve as a touchstone to let you know how the assignment should look. Keep in mind that she was writing for a different course and a different assignment, but it might give you an general idea of how to do this assignment. Please let me know if you have questions. Remember to tag your posts with our course number and your last name and to make sure they are properly posted on your external blog URL.
This assignment is due on your Tumblr Saturday, 10/22 at 11:59pm MT.
RIP Jacob (x)
@mediachronicle I’m not crying, you’re crying!
I think what destroys me most about this is that six-year-olds getting murdered in their schools has become so regular in our society that it’s barely even news anymore. We need to have superheroes at their funeral for it to get media attention, and even then we aren’t questioning why a second-grader who loved Batman was slaughtered while trying to learn to read.
P!nk talking about Stupid Girls [1/2]
@mediachronicle
Well, this this is pretty apropos given our recent viewing of Miss Representation in Media Industries, wouldn’t you say? Thanks @alohadad42!
BTW, the high five was invented in 1977 which means your parents probably didn’t grow up with it.
For real though Glenn Burke, inventor of the high five was a gay black player in the 70s, and the Dodgers tried to get him to marry a beard and their manager got mad when he befriended the manager’s gay son before being traded to the Athletics, probably for being gay. In Oakland, the rumors of homosexuality followed him and manager Billy Martin started using homophobic slurs in the clubhouse and homophobic behavior from other players lead to an early retirement for the promising young star at 27. After retiring from baseball he introduced the high five to the Castro district of San Franscio where the high five became a symbol of gay pride and identification. ESPN wrote a long form piece about it which I recommend reading, it’s got some homophobic slurs in it although not presented positively.
A few appendices:
Although he was unceremoniously drummed out of Major League Baseball, Burke became the star shortstop for the local Gay Softball League, and even dominated in the Gay Softball World Series, as well as medaling in the 100 and 200 meter sprints in the inaugural 1982 Gay Games. Unfortunately, Burke also picked up a cocaine habit and had his leg and foot crushed in an accident. He spent much of his final years homeless in the Castro, and died from AIDS complications in 1995, but he was in the first class of inductees to the Gay and Lesbian Sports Hall of Fame, and his High School retired his jersey number.
The Dodgers Manager in question was Tony Lasorda, whose son “Spunky” died of AIDS complications in 1992 although Lasorda maintains that it was cancer. Likewise, despite the High Five becoming a symbol of the 1980 Dodgers team, Lasorda maintained and continues to this day to maintain to not know its origin. It’s possible that this isn’t a deliberate slight to Burke, but given his homophobia in other matters that’s a hard benefit of the doubt to give.
The Athletics have, in the years since, attempted to make up for some of the wrongs they committed in this story. When Glenn revealed publicly that he was living with AIDS, the As moved in and helped him financially. Burke was honored publicly at Pride Night at the park in 2015 and his brother was invited to throw the first pitch.
Burke was happy to see the high five catch on, spilling out of sports and into the small joys of every day life. He died believing that the high five was his legacy. Next time you high five your friend, remember that the high five came from Glenn Burke.
@mediachronicle You should look into this! Maybe make some sort of assignment out of it
Thank you for tagging me in this, @alohadad42! This is a cool idea. I had to laugh at “your parents probably didn’t grow up with it.” Oh dear. There are so many issues there. And, let’s consider this alternative origin story that dives even further back into African-American history and culture -- as is the case with so many parts of American culture at large. Thoughts? So many layers of intersectionality here! I love it.
