Why not; what’s more historic than when something begins or ends? The Format Change Archive is your home for airchecks of the beginnings and endings of some of the most historic radio stations (and some you may never have heard).]]> radio sound music advertising https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:8002cc587d20/ 2020-04-16T18:09:40+00:00 https://minnesotareformer.com/2020/04/15/land-olakes-quietly-gets-rid-of-iconic-indian-maiden/ matthewmcvickar“It’s a great move,” said Adrienne Keene, a professor at Brown University, author of the popular Native Appropriations blog and citizen of the Cherokee Nation. “It makes me really happy to think that there’s now going to be an entire generation of folks that are growing up without having to see that every time they walk in the grocery store.” But Keene thinks the company missed an important opportunity in not explaining why they removed the image of the Indian maiden from their brand. “It could have been a very strong and positive message to have publicly said, ‘We realized after a hundred years that our image was harmful and so we decided to remove it,’” Keene said. “In our current cultural moment, that’s something people would really respond to.”]]> food nativeamericans racism advertising marketing https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:65198301c585/ 2019-07-30T03:18:12+00:00 https://theoutline.com/post/1165/the-web-looks-like-shit?zd=1&zi=snglncfj matthewmcvickarShare buttons and prompts to “read more” treat readers like idiots who don’t know how to do basic tasks; meanwhile, a huge amount of faith is put in technology, which fails constantly. Embedded social media posts don’t load properly, videos expire, and the pre-populated tweet mangles the text. If there are high-res photos, they are often too large to display on a standard laptop screen, so one first looks at a face and much later scrolls to see a body.

Switch a few words around, and this perfect evocation could have emanated from DDB's pitch meeting to Volkswagen. Which is not to belittle Zoladz's criticism, nor to build up ad-speak as any more than means-to-an-end capitalist labor. Instead, this connection highlights the idea that critics and marketers often seek the same positive criteria in art.]]> music advertising money business writing capitalism https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:37cb95363792/ 2012-06-06T21:00:52+00:00 http://dashes.com/anil/2012/06/racist-culture-is-a-factory-defect.html matthewmcvickarI believe the company has good intentions, and is run by people who do not want to be racist or to create racist contributions to culture. Nevertheless, the company made a cultural contribution that was predicated on racist ideas. It's particularly egregious to trade in racist ideas when it's not for artistic purpose or to comment on society, but to sell a product. Therefore, the most helpful thing I can do is to help them fix the broken process within their company that produced this unfortunate result.]]> culture race racism advertising pr https://pinboard.in/
