The document analyzes and compares the contents pages of two magazines - Blender and Billboard. The Blender page features a large picture of pop star Katy Perry and very little text, aiming to attract fans with her style. In contrast, the Billboard page contains more text, varied images including of lesser-known artists, and a music chart, aiming to seem more established and offer readers information. Overall, the document examines how the differing designs and approaches target different audiences - Blender taking a simpler, visual approach while Billboard provides more detailed content.
The Social Name-Letter Effect on Online Social Networksgabrielmagno_1
The Name-Letter Effect states that people have a preference for brands, places, and even jobs that start with the same letter as their own first name. So Sam might like Snickers and live in Seattle. We use social network data from Twitter and Google+ to replicate this effect in a new environment. We find limited to no support for the Name-Letter Effect on social networks. We do, however, find a very robust Same-Name Effect where, say, Michaels would be more likely to link to other Michaels than Johns. This effect persists when accounting for gender, nationality, race, and age. The fundamentals behind these effects have implications beyond psychology as understanding how a positive self-image is transferred to other entities is important in domains ranging from studying homophily to personalized advertising and to link formation in social networks.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Blender Contents Page
This contents page is very simple with very little text on it
and hugely focused on the main picture in the middle. The
picture is of the massive pop star “Katy Perry” she is known
for her bubble-gum pop style yet sophisticated music taste
and the magazine definitely shows her bubble-gum pop
look in this picture making her the main object on the
contents page as through her bright coloured outfit on the
pale grey background and the size of the picture.
This will appeal to her fans as they are used to her style
and music whereas the oppositional readers will see her as
“twee” and over the top which can be seen as over-baring
and weird.
3. Continued…
The magazine has very little writing on it that could be seen
as a positive thing to some readers as it is easy and simple
for them to navigate the magazine and see in one go what
it contains. However the oppositional reading could be that
the readers of that particular magazine are juvenile
because the whole page is just pictures and not much
writing.
The bold writing that says “Contents” presents the
magazine as bold and confident and with Katy Perry as the
main feature is shows their “whacky” side and that they
aren’t afraid to be different, however this could put some
people off reading the magazine such as those who are
“mainstreamers” because they will want more to be the
same as those around them.
4. In Conclusion…
This magazine uses its layout,
font and typography to attract
its target audience it uses
iconic, indexical, and symbolic
symbols, to create an informal
and relaxed effect on the
reader, also to make the
content page very simple
because the target audience of
this magazine will not be
interested in large amounts of
text but more in short pieces of
text and large amounts of
pictures.
6. Billboard Contents Page
This contents page is completely different to the Blender
one, it has more text and more images on it and there is a
much larger variation of colour and theme on it.
The girl in the picture is not someone that many people will
know straight off, neither are the rest of the pictures really
but they are still the main picture regardless of this. The
fact that Billboard have not just used big names as their
main attractions to achieve more readers says a lot about
their brand, it shows how established they already are
compared to Blender and that they are willing to try and
showcase new artists and their music.
7. This contents page has a lot information on it which will be
seen too those who take the preferred reading as a good
thing as the magazine is giving them what seems to be a
lot of information.
The chart on the left hand side of the page makes the
magazine seem reliable because it is an official chart and
therefore the readers will trust it and trust the rest of the
magazine. It also makes the magazine look a lot more
established, professional and trust worthy, because of the
amount of knowledge they seem to have in the topic and
genre of music that their magazine is about.
Continued…
8. In Conclusion…
This magazine instantly
offers its readers a large
amount of information in its
first page, it also uses its
layout, colour scheme and
typography to create a formal
and intense look and feel to
the magazine. I also think
that the target audience of
this magazine are very
particular and very interested
in the content inside the
magazine rather than just
flicking through it.
9. Both of these magazines are completely different, one is
very minimalistic both in the ways of text and imagery to
attract their audience and the other completely fills the
page and uses various pictures to attract their audience by
offering them buckets of knowledge. This is probably
because the two magazines are trying to create different
effects on their audiences Blender is trying to create a
careless and relaxed vibe and Billboard is aiming more for
the audience to learn something through reading their
magazine.
