Public service broadcasters produce content for the public interest rather than for commercial purposes. They must meet requirements set by Ofcom to be designated as a public service broadcaster. The BBC, Channel 4, and Channel 5 are examples of public service broadcasters in the UK. Commercial broadcasters are privately owned and have more freedom in their programming but must still follow Ofcom regulations. Private ownership refers to broadcasters that treat viewers as consumers to generate profits, while corporate ownership sees audiences as citizens. Global companies operate across many countries with headquarters in their home country. Concentration of ownership occurs when a leading shareholder gains controlling shares in a company, and vertical integration expands a company across sectors of the production process.
The document discusses various metrics used to evaluate the financial performance of Bollywood films, including:
1) Cost of production, theatrical business revenue (distributor share), overseas business, satellite rights, and music rights.
2) Other factors like the number of multiplex screens, pre-sale financing, in-film branding, theater occupancy, and awards/nominations are also discussed.
3) Examples are given for two films - Gangs of Wasseypur and Dabangg - with their cost of production, marketing costs, opening week revenues, satellite rights deals, and music revenues.
Cinema chains cut costs by employing staff on zero-hour contracts without guaranteed work. Younger, non-unionized staff may earn lower wages. Major cinema chains in the UK include Odeon, Cineworld, and Vue. Films are supplied to cinemas via encrypted hard drives or digital download and must be processed before screening. Ticketing agencies emerged to handle ticket sales and distribution for venues and have brought technology and expertise. Pop-up cinemas show films in temporary outdoor locations using mobile screens in the summer months.
TheVposeLtd. company was formed in 2008 by Jimmy Valencia to create ClubVpose.com, an online entertainment and promotions platform styled as the "UK's first animated and interactive Online Nightclub". ClubVpose.com would offer both entertainment like music streams and videos (B2C) and promotional services for music labels, promoters, and brands (B2B). The site's revenue sources would include advertising, marketing data sales, promotions, and design services. The company's exit strategy is to make ClubVpose.com an attractive acquisition target for brands looking to enter the online entertainment and music marketing market.

The document discusses potential audiences for social realism films across various media platforms. It finds that such films typically struggle for mainstream cinema screenings and only play in small independent theaters.

On television, channels like BBC Four that screen these films have relatively small viewerships compared to larger BBC channels. Radio stations like BBC Radio 4 have audiences interested in intelligent topics covered in social realism but numbers are declining. The only print magazine focused on social realism is Sight & Sound from the British Film Institute. The document concludes target audience research shows 16-18 year olds are most interested in social realism films focused
Traffic refers to the amount of visitors to a website. There are three main types of traffic: organic traffic from unpaid links, traffic packs which are purchased blocks of 50,000 hits, and sales credits given for referring new members. Traffic is tracked in a member's traffic bank and is needed to qualify new advertising panels on a site. Traffic limits decrease with each new panel but can increase from qualifying higher level panels or receiving sales credits. Traffic packs are a monthly commitment that provide targeted visitors to a member's sites.
The BBC was formed in 1922 and began outside broadcasts and expanding its radio coverage throughout the 1920s. The BBC Trust was established in 2007 as an independent part of the BBC to make decisions in the interests of license fee payers. The BBC is primarily funded through an annual television license fee paid by UK households and uses this funding to provide extensive radio, television and online services covering the UK and broadcasting in over 28 languages worldwide.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
Economic Risk Factor Update: June 2024 [SlideShare]Commonwealth

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
