Such methods typically capture an aggregated snapshot of polarization across large textual corpora, providing a static quantification of media bias based on preset criteria. As a result, such approaches seldom capture temporal fluctuations in semantic polarity. Only a few research to date quantify linguistic polarization over time. For example, researchers have measured partisan trends in congressional speech by defining polarization as the expected posterior probability that a neutral observer would infer a speaker’s political party from a randomly selected utterance (Gentzkow, Shapiro, and Taddy 2019) across various issues. Demszky et al. use this Bayesian approach to capture how social media discussions on mass shootings become increasingly divisive (2020). Such methods, however, capture linguistic polarization as a general metric across nearly all aggregated words within a textual corpus. Given the powerful salience of certain topical keywords that are inseparable from American politics, unlike prior work, we focus on how specific keywords polarize over time. We depart from previous approaches by devising a framework that captures semantic polarity as a function of how two different entities semantically diverge across time in their contextual use of identical words that are central to the American public discourse. Specifically, we measure linguistic polarization by capturing the diachronic shifts in how two news stations use the same topical words on their news programs over an 11-year period. Further, in effort to understand the linguistic drivers behind how and why semantic polarization evolves, we aim to identify the source of diachronic shifts based on how two different entities use identical, politically contentious keywords. Few research has endeavored to detect causal factors underlying how the meaning of words changes over time, which remains an open challenge in NLP scholarship (Kutuzov et al. 2018). Hamilton et al. show how word meanings change between consecutive decades due to cultural shifts (e.g., change in the meaning of “cell” driven by technological advancement: prison cell vs. cell phone) (2016). Yet such research typically makes a priori assumptions that the language between two textual corpora of comparison are significantly related without statistically demonstrating how so. On the other hand, research that do provide evidence of statistical relations between two separate textual data (Dutta, Ma, and Choudhury 2018), generally do not explain what words drive the direction of semantic influence from one corpus to another. We overcome these limitations: first, we statistically validate the existence of a significant semantic relationship between two textual corpora, TV news language and social media discourse, through Grangercausality (Study 3). Then, we strategically separate our data by lag-times associated with significant Granger-causal relations and apply a deep learning interpretation technique to demonstrate which contextual words from TV news language influences Twitter discussions around specific topical keywords (and vice-versa) over time. Who Influences Who? Setting a Media Agenda On any given day, newsrooms select news on a wide range of topics that cover a variety of issues. According to Agenda Setting Theory, this selection process leads audiences to see certain issues as more significant than others (McCombs 1997). Agenda Setting was particularly useful in decades past when media was much more consolidated. In the U.S. for example, three major networks (NBC, ABC, and CBS) provided the bulk of broadcast news content, and so their news agendas had broad influence on what audiences saw as important. However, today’s media landscape is much more fragmented. People receive their news from any number of sources including television, newspapers, radio, online websites, and social media. In such an environment, Agenda Setting has certain limitations as the theory assumes that audiences are relatively passive and simply receive information from the media. This was true when news flowed one-way from the media to the mass public. By contrast nowadays, the two-way form of communication afforded by the internet and social media makes it possible for the public to both influence media agendas and be influenced by them (Papacharissi 2009; Barnard 2018). As a result, new scholarship has argued through Intermedia Agenda Setting Theory that media agendas do not come entirely from within their own organizations, but from two other sources: other media and the mass audience. In the latter case, for example, audiences themselves can influence media agendas through online affordances (e.g., retweeting, commenting, sharing), to raise certain issues to prominence online (Rogstad 2016). In this work, we explore these new emerging dynamics with an interest in not only understanding how news agendas are constructed, but how the possible adoption of different agendas might influence agenda dynamics as media interact with the public online.

Temporal Dynamics in Linguistic Polarization

Periwinkle Entertainment, Inc. v. The Walt Disney Company Court Filing retrieved [redacted] is part of HackerNoon’s Legal PDF Series. You can jump to any part in this filing here. This part is 6 of 12. C. Disney Announces the Launch of Streaming Platform Disney+, Leading Marvel to Further Clarify Its Promises to Ms. Johansson 25. On August 8, 2017, Disney announced its plans to launch “a new Disney-branded direct-to-consumer service in 2019.” This then-unnamed service would eventually become Disney+, a SVOD platform that is wholly owned by Disney and features films and television series from an array of Disney brands. 26. By the time Disney+ launched on November 12, 2019, it was competing with a number of other major subscription streaming platforms, including but not limited to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, CBS All Access, HBO Now, and Apple TV+. With an initial subscription fee of $7 per month, which was thereafter increased to $8 per month, Disney+ needed premium content to convince potential customers to dig into their wallets and shell out for yet another premium SVOD service. 27. At a shareholder meeting on March 7, 2019, Disney’s then-CEO Bob Iger announced that Disney’s entire feature film library would be made available on Disney+. He also signaled that Disney’s 2019 theatrical releases, beginning with MCU entry Captain Marvel, would debut on Disney+ for streaming after their theatrical runs. Finally, Mr. Iger indicated that Disney+ would have its own slate of original films and series. 28. In light of these announcements, Ms. Johansson’s representatives reached out to Marvel to confirm that the launch of Disney+ would not impact the exclusive, wide theatrical release that Ms. Johansson had bargained for in the Agreement. Dave Galluzzi, Marvel’s Chief Counsel, responded on March 20, 2019: Further [to] our conversation today, it is 100% our plan to do a typical wide release of Black Widow. We have very high expectations for the film and are very excited to try to do for Black Widow what we’ve just done with Captain Marvel. We totally understand that Scarlett’s willingness to do the film and her whole deal is based on the premise that the film would be widely theatrically released like our other pictures. We understand that should the plan change, we would need to discuss this with you and come to an understanding as the deal is based on a series of (very large) box office bonuses. (Emphases added.) Mr. Galluzzi attached a fully executed copy of the Agreement to this email. 29. Thus, Mr. Galluzzi, on Marvel’s behalf, communicated his understanding that Ms. Johansson’s WWBO bonus was her primary consideration under the Agreement, that the Picture would be “widely theatrically released,” and that this release would be “like our other pictures,” meaning exclusively to theatres for between 82 and 159 days, with an average uninterrupted window of 117 days. Moreover, Mr. Galluzzi acknowledged on behalf of Marvel that any change in that planned theatrical release would materially and adversely impact the value of the Agreement to Ms. Johansson and thus the deal would need to be renegotiated to account for the reduction in her promised backend compensation.

The New Hollywood leader and one of the world’s most powerful brands just joined forces in a deal that elevates live sports on connected TV (CTV) and hammers another nail in the coffin of linear TV. Netflix announced that it will stream the NFL’s two Christmas Day games in 2024. This marks the beginning of a three-season agreement, during which the streaming service will also air at least one Christmas Day game in both 2025 and 2026. The games will also air on broadcast TV in the competing team cities, and they be available on U.S. mobile devices with NFL+. The Rise of Live Sports on CTV The live sports industry is the last bastion of linear TV viewing. But the world is changing fast. About half of U.S. audiences no longer pay for cable TV or other traditional pay TV services, according to Insider Intelligence. About four out of 10 viewers mainly consume sports content through ad-supported CTV platforms or social media, according to Trade Desk’s Future of TV Report. Streaming services have been gobbling up live sports content over the past few years, ranging from Amazon’s and Peacock’s deals to stream NFL games to Netflix acquiring rights for the WWE. And competition is heating up. A recently announced venture between ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery may account for about 55% of U.S. sports rights, according to Citi analysts. All Hail the NFL Netflix, a Johnny-come-lately to live sports, has good reason to cozy up to the NFL. The NFL dominates television and drives culture. Nielsen says the NFL accounted for a 93 of the 100 most-watched TV broadcasts in 2023. The NFL has wisely sensed and responded to the rise of CTV, agreeing to air games with a variety of streaming companies, among them Amazon Prime, Paramount+, Peacock, and YouTube TV. Thursday Night Football games on Amazon Prime and a Black Friday game (the first ever) in 2024 have delivered ratings and advertising gold. The league created controversy by streaming a 2024 wild card playoff game on Peacock exclusively, which shut out viewers who lacked a Peacock subscription. But the decision delivered numbers: 23 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. NBC said that the game set a record for the most-streamed live event in U.S. history. And Super Bowl LVIII on February 11 game attracted an average viewership of 123.4 million, setting a new record for the most-watched television broadcast in history. Out of this audience, 112 million viewers watched the game on CBS. The remaining viewership was distributed among Paramount+, Nickelodeon, Univision, CBS Sports, and various NFL digital platforms, including NFL+. All Eyes on Amazon The NFL is clearly just getting warmed up. The 2024-25 season will include a game in Brazil streaming exclusively on Peacock. The September 6 game will be the first NFL game played in South America and the second game to air exclusively on Peacock. A playoff wild card game will air on Amazon Prime Video. Amazon streaming a playoff game is especially intriguing. The experience will most certainly be different than the one Peacock featured and speaks to CTV’s potential for changing how people experience live sports. For one thing, Amazon will use the game to test Amazon Ad targeting features as it did with the Black Friday game when Amazon rolled out a new strategy called audience-based creative, allowing advertisers to target different audience segments with different ads in the same time slot.Amazon will also inject commerce into the game-watching experience. Amazon already offers deals for Amazon Prime customers associated with Thursday Night Football, and Amazon really ramped up shopping deals during the 2023 Black Friday game (including limited time deals along with plenty of shoppable ads).Amazon also provides several interactive features to enhance the TV viewing experience, such as X-Ray, which gives fans real-time access to live statistics and data. A feature called the 4th Down Decision Guide offers fans the opportunity to step into the role of NFL coaches during critical moments. It poses the question: should a team attempt to advance on fourth down or opt for a punt? Using machine learning, this tool assesses the success rates of both choices and evaluates their impact on the team's chances of winning the game. These kinds of features (and a lot more) are not gimmicks -- they make watching the game more of an experience. Essentially, Amazon and the NFL are reinventing Black Friday as a hybrid shopping and entertainment experience -- enticing people to stay online and watch football on a day when they’re usually out shopping was at one time unthinkable. The game garnered an average of 9.61 million viewers who watched the Miami Dolphins crush the New York Jets on Amazon Prime Video.The ratings were lower than expected. But Amazon’s first NFL outing with Thursday Night Football underwhelmed at first, too, and now things have turned around. And as Columbia University sports management professor Joe Favorito told The Street, "If you would have said to someone nine million people on the Friday after Thanksgiving are going to watch a streamed NFL game three years ago, people [would] have been jumping up and down." Amazon’s relationship with the NFL will also challenge Netflix to deliver something more experiential especially because Amazon is already creating the state of the art in CTV live sports. I expect Netflix will share more details of its own in coming weeks. A Christmas Advertising Bonanza? Christmas Day marks the NFL’s continued expansion into holiday sports viewing. The NFL averaged 28.4 million viewers across its three games on Christmas Day last season (compare that to the NBA, which averaged 2.8 million across its five games). According to the NFL, last year’s three Christmas games ranking among the top 25 most viewed TV programs of 2023. Analyst Guggenheim predicts that these games will bring in approximately $185 million in direct advertising revenue. This figure is in addition to potential increases in subscriber growth, engagement, or promotional benefits. Such a boost would signify a 15.7% increase over the firm’s existing 2024 advertising forecast of $1.18 billion. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the day is coming when the Super Bowl will move to CTV. Which New Hollywood business will win that prize? NFL photo by Photo by Adrian Curiel on Unsplash.

The game garnered an average of 9.61 million viewers who watched the Miami Dolphins crush the New York Jets on Amazon Prime Video. The ratings were lower than expected. But Amazon’s first NFL outing with Thursday Night Football underwhelmed at first, too, and now things have turned around. And as Columbia University sports management professor Joe Favorito told The Street, "If you would have said to someone nine million people on the Friday after Thanksgiving are going to watch a streamed NFL game three years ago, people [would] have been jumping up and down." Amazon’s relationship with the NFL will also challenge Netflix to deliver something more experiential especially because Amazon is already creating the state of the art in CTV live sports. I expect Netflix will share more details of its own in coming weeks. A Christmas Advertising Bonanza? A Christmas Advertising Bonanza? Christmas Day marks the NFL’s continued expansion into holiday sports viewing. The NFL averaged 28.4 million viewers across its three games on Christmas Day last season (compare that to the NBA, which averaged 2.8 million across its five games). According to the NFL, last year’s three Christmas games ranking among the top 25 most viewed TV programs of 2023 . The NFL averaged 28.4 million viewers across its three games on Christmas Day last season The NFL averaged 28.4 million viewers across its three games on Christmas Day last season last year’s three Christmas games ranking among the top 25 most viewed TV programs of 2023 last year’s three Christmas games ranking among the top 25 most viewed TV programs of 2023 Analyst Guggenheim predicts that these games will bring in approximately $185 million in direct advertising revenue . This figure is in addition to potential increases in subscriber growth, engagement, or promotional benefits. Such a boost would signify a 15.7% increase over the firm’s existing 2024 advertising forecast of $1.18 billion. $185 million in direct advertising revenue $185 million in direct advertising revenue I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the day is coming when the Super Bowl will move to CTV.

Hey there, Hackers! Today, we’re talking about the almighty backlink. Although it could sometimes seem like an afterthought, a good set of high-quality backlinks could take a good piece to the next level. If you can backlink like a pro, then all your writing will be more authoritative, look stronger, read more professionally, and, best of all, can help you reach the coveted front page of Google. So, how can you master backlinks? Let's break down a few tips and learn from some of our backlink black belts at HackerNoon. Are you ready to step into the Backlink Dojo? Use our template with backlink tips and more to get started. AP-Style Reporting 1. Keywords Matter (Make It Make Sense!) When backlinking, always remember that you should include any relevant keywords from the website you are linking to in the writing of your HackerNoon article and make that your point of contact. For example, if you’re linking to a source reference about Game of Thrones, make sure that “Game of Thrones” is what gets highlighted and linked in your HackerNoon article. This ensures that your audience knows what they’re getting linked to. In short, make sure your anchor text is reflective of what you’re sourcing. Take a look at ’s new piece about visualizing network graphs as Hamilton characters and how all their backlinks make semantic sense to their reference source about the play and various other media. @iswaryam https://hackernoon.com/analysis-of-network-graphs-visualizing-hamilton-characters-as-a-social-network?embedable=true 2. Backlink Quality Good writers present strong sources to back up their claims, and you should make sure you’re not just taking info from anywhere. If you find yourself writing about news, academic research, or anything that is highly evidence-based or makes strong claims, always make sure you’re linking to authoritative, high-quality sources to reinforce your writing. Plus, the stronger the source, the more Google will like your writing! Check out ’s new piece about AI and extinct species, where he links back to strong sources like the National Library of Medicine, BBC Earth, and CBS News. @zacamos https://hackernoon.com/the-role-of-ai-in-resurrecting-extinct-species?embedable=true 3. Backlink Diversity While it could be tempting to list one place as your one-stop shop for everything you’re writing about, it can actually hinder your writing in the long run if you’re not careful. Linking to one place repeatedly can be considered backlink spamming by Google and our editors, and it could hurt your piece’s chances of becoming a HackerNoon Top Story or reaching search engines. Diversifying your knowledge pool and linking back to a wide variety of places indicates that you’ve researched your topic well and can present useful backlinks for those who would like to follow in your footsteps. For a good example of backlink diversity, read ’s deep dive into the world of PrisonTok, where he finds great interviews and quotes from former prisoners and legal specialists about the world of incarcerated influencers. @drewchapin https://hackernoon.com/the-rise-and-real-value-of-prisontok?embedable=true 4. Use a Lot of Backlinks (But Know When To Trim It Down!) Now you know how to use backlinks effectively; however, the next level is knowing to use them. No one likes to read a mega-highlighted article filled with so many links that it looks like a virtual minefield of redirects for every minor claim and occurrence. A truly skilled writer knows when it’s time to backlink for the benefit of the reader and when to let the writing confidently do its own thing. If you find yourself swamped with important sources and reference material, don’t be afraid to make a nice “References” section at the bottom of your piece to look like a real professional! when deftly links back to important sources like GitHub, Intel, and Nvidia as needed throughout this piece and then intelligently creates a “References” section at the bottom with a whole host of high-quality backlinks should readers need them. @venkat2811 https://hackernoon.com/a-digestible-high-level-overview-of-cpu-and-gpu-capabilities?embedable=true Are you ready to step into the Backlink Dojo?

The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is built using neural networks that mimic the neural pathways in our own brains. Yet despite the powerful capabilities of current AI technology, its software can’t yet be classed as being independently intelligent. Further, the issue of hallucinations and black box phenomenons highlights the stark gap between the exciting results AI can deliver and our understanding of why computational models have reached a given outcome. This is also true with the human condition when neurodegenerative conditions strike with unpredictable impacts on the behavior of patients. Understanding these anomalies will be central to advancing our fundamental understanding of intelligence as a concept. This work is of such rising importance that a new field of study is forming, with the ‘Physics of Intelligence’ bridging the gap between computer science, brain science, and physics to better understand the universal mathematical principles that form intelligence. Now, this emerging field of study is set to receive a boost through the creation of an ambitious new fellowship program Fellowships for the Physics of Intelligence The NTT Research Foundation announced this week a gift to establish the Harvard University Center for Brain Science (CBS)-NTT Fellowship Program to support the research into the physics of intelligence. The two-year gift, renewable for up to three more years, will create a fund to support post-doctoral research in the physics of intelligence, an emerging field that uses physics to tackle fundamental questions in intelligence, bridging computer science, neuroscience, and psychology. If renewed, the donation could total over $1.7 million. Harvard University will have full control over the administration of the fund, which is set to be used to support two post-doctoral researchers, including support for technology, facilities, travel, and guest speakers for seminars. Although the Fellowship Program is newly established, Harvard CBS and the NTT Research Physics & Informatics Lab have been collaborating on similar themes since 2021 under a joint research agreement since 2024. The new program will amplify themes that emerged from shared research into natural and artificial intelligence. Physicists and AI researchers from the PHI Lab’s Intelligent Systems Group, led by Hidenori Tanaka, who is also a CBS associate, have established fruitful alliances with neuroscientists and psychologists at Harvard. “We are thrilled to support the Harvard Center for Brain Science at the dawn of the Physics of Intelligence,” NTT Research President and CEO Kazuhiro Gomi said. “As history teaches us, inventions – consider the steam engine, electricity, liquid crystals – can lead to new fields in physics.” “Today, AI is playing that role and giving us an opportunity to explore fundamental questions involving the science of intelligence, as well as address some urgent practical problems, like the need for computational systems that are unbiased, trustworthy and green. We believe this gift will advance those shared goals,” added the executive. A fundamental understanding of intelligence The Harvard CBS is pursuing an ambitious mission. Scientists affiliated with the Harvard CBS study the structure and function of neural circuits, the computations that govern thought and behavior, and how these circuits and patterns develop and vary. Harvard CBS Director Murthy said, “We’re grateful to the NTT Research Foundation for this generous gift, which comes on top of several years of unique intellectual contributions and collaboration. The Harvard CBS looks forward to developing ideas around the Physics of Intelligence through fellowships, seminars, talks, and other activities that both enhance and align with our diverse approach to neuroscience.” Shaping this ongoing academic cross-pollination is the dramatic rise of powerful AI, which provides a new subject of study for the science of intelligence. “The interdisciplinary environment at Harvard’s Center for Brain Science has been crucial in nurturing this emerging field, which harnesses physics-based approaches to investigate foundational questions about intelligence,” PHI Lab Scientist and Harvard CBS Associate Tanaka said. “By conducting quantitative experiments and theoretical modeling involving AI systems, which are more accessible to testing and measurement than the human brain, we aim to uncover the universal mathematical principles that underlie intelligence in all its forms, both natural and artificial.” In addition to its work on the CIM and initiatives in neuroscience, the PHI Lab is engaged in groundbreaking research into quasi-particles and non-linear optical materials. The PHI Lab also has a JRA with the NASA Ames Research Center. NTT Research opened its offices in July 2019 as a new Silicon Valley startup to conduct basic research and advance technologies that promote positive change for humankind.

In some shocking but exciting news, last Friday that they will be allowing retro game emulators on their App Store. Apple announced Although this seems to come out of nowhere, it could be because everyone under the sun is currently gunning for Apple because of their App Store policies. On March 4, 2024, the European Commission hit the tech company with a €1.8 billion fine. In a press release, the that Apple was “abusing its dominant position on the market for the distribution of music streaming apps to iPhone and iPad users (‘iOS users') through its App Store.” European Commission alleged On March 21, 2024, the United States Justice Department released a statement saying they were suing Apple for “ .” Monopolizing Smartphone Markets And all of this comes after Apple’s with Epic Games which also revolved around Apple’s App Store policies. lengthy legal battle With Apple finally allowing retro game emulators, it would seem that the tech company wants to move the App Store in a new direction. One where they’re constantly not being sued. This seems exciting, but emulator enthusiasts and developers remain cautious about the whole ordeal. For one, the rules are broad and could be interpreted in many different ways. Here’s what about emulation: Apple officially said What counts as a “retro game console?” What’s the cut-off limit? 10 years? 15 years? 20? On top of that, allowing emulators is great. But how can users download and play games? Will they allow these emulators to offer ROM links? I’m not the only one asking these questions. Henrik Rydgård, creator of the PSP emulator, PPSSPP, about Apple’s announcement: said this It seems only time will tell how this will play out, but in the meantime, it does seem like an exciting time for retro gaming fans. 👋 You’re reading HackerNoon's , a weekly collection of tech goodness that combines HackerNoon's proprietary data with internet trends to determine which companies are rising and falling in the public consciousness.

Netflix Disney has announced Disney The new policy doesn’t take effect until June, but Disney seems dead-set on making this happen. And why wouldn’t they? Although you would be hard-pressed to find consumers who agree and like this change, the numbers don’t lie. And they spell profits for these streaming services. When made this change, there were plenty of people online who swore that they would cancel their subscriptions. And good for them if they did so; I applaud them. Unfortunately, they were a very small minority. Netflix reported that in the months following Netflix’s password crackdown, the streaming service’s subscriber numbers grew historically.
