DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis dissertation traces the role of big data in shaping corporate decision-making, institutional practices, and cultural production in Hollywood's legacy media industry over the course of the 21st century. Specifically, the project examines the ways in which the major film studios and television networks integrated data as an industrial operating logic in order to navigate the growing influence of Silicon Valley's technology sector in a shifting digital media environment. While Hollywood has long incorporated data from audience research to inform the business of cultural production, the dissertation focuses on an emerging set of industrial strategies to manage the exponential increase in digital information. In particular, I consider the industry's use of enterprise application software to access, analyze, and apply data across the media and entertainment value chain, and the resulting implications for film and television production, marketing, and distribution. By combining discourse analysis of trade and popular press reports with close readings of select software applications and a mapping of industry dynamics, this project defines the foundational parameters of Hollywood's vertical integration with the data economy. In doing so, I demonstrate that Hollywood gradually engineered a data-driven business model that expanded the operational dynamics of the legacy media business.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"A remarkable work of slowed-down journalism...They are doing their jobs as journalists and writing the first draft of history." —Jill Filipovic, The Washington Post "...Generous but also damning." —Hanna Rosin, The New York Times From two New York Times reporters, a deeper look at the formative years of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and his confirmation. In September 2018, the F.B.I. was given only a week to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct against Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump's Supreme Court nominee. But even as Kavanaugh was sworn in to his lifetime position, many questions remained unanswered, leaving millions of Americans unsettled. During the Senate confirmation hearings that preceded the bureau's brief probe, New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly broke critical stories about Kavanaugh's past, including the "Renate Alumni" yearbook story. They were inundated with tips from former classmates, friends, and associates that couldn't be fully investigated before the confirmation process closed. Now, their book fills in the blanks and explores the essential question: Who is Brett Kavanaugh? The Education of Brett Kavanaugh paints a picture of the prep-school and Ivy-League worlds that formed our newest Supreme Court Justice. By offering commentary from key players from his confirmation process who haven't yet spoken publicly and pursuing lines of inquiry that were left hanging, it will be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand our political system and Kavanaugh's unexpectedly emblematic role in it.
