-- Name: austin considine (The New York Times) Category: Entertainment and Media Email: query-6ke@helpareporter.com Media Outlet: The New York Times Deadline: 11:00 PM EST - 23 March Query: I'm looking for an independent media critic -- preferably based in New York or Los Angeles -- to comment on the rise of Shane Dawson as one of YouTube's biggest celebrities. A university-based PhD would be perfect. Ideally, I need a source who has some sense of how the YouTube community has evolved over the years, and who has at least a passing familiarity with its "Partners" program, how it works, and (if possible) what kinds of ad revenues it's been known to generate for individual contributors. -- _______________________________________________________________________________________ josé marichal, ph.d. | assistant professor | political science department | california lutheran university 60 w. olsen road | #3800 | thousand oaks, ca 91360 josemarichal.synthasite.com | blog: contexts.org/thickculture | twitter.com/marichal | 805-493-3328 _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
