Infotainment: the pressure of ratings and their dangers for democracy in cable news

Abstract
In this thesis I argue that through the necessity to generate a profit, cable news organizations focus on attracting the most viewers so that they can then charge more for advertising and in turn make more money. This symbiotic relationship between advertisers and the cable news companies threatens our democracy by prioritizing the stories or personalities that gain the highest viewership.

The relationship of preschool children and the media: a thorough investigation into the televised culture

Abstract
The understanding of television and book media is necessary during the years of early childhood development especially as the presence of these particular media continue to advance. Children are growing up in-almost thrown into- a world that is global, competitive, technological, and constantly changing. This environment holds tremendous potential and permanent impact on those that are exposed during the beginning years of development so it is of the utmost importance to produce content that will permanently impact the young audience positively in all matters. I would like to address this issue by intensely studying the preschool television programming in relation to the development of their audience. Research done by these networks, with particular emphasis on Sesame Street, will be one of my approaches to understanding the reasoning behind specific techniques done by the networks for their shows. This will hopefully successfully lead to the execution of my own show, with deep reasoning behind every factor used to ultimately influence preschoolers' development positively.

(this never happened): Queer monstrosity, survival, & the monstrous-feminine on stage & screen

Abstract
In what ways are monstrosity, the abject, and queerness connected? What are the mechanisms by which we as a culture twist perceptions of difference into denouncements of monstrous otherness? How can we use creation as a tool for healing? How do we move toward something other than blood? <em>(this never happened) </em>is a performance text and intertextual exploration of staged horror, queer monstrosity, the monstrous-feminine, and trauma theory through the lens of playwriting and performance. It seeks to complicate notions of monstrosity and the abject and attempts to reconcile the isolation of individual monstrosity with the potential of the abject as a site of social upheaval and creation, while finding a space within the horror genre for both rage and catharsis.
