Introduction The problem which our company found with Sony’s music entertainment division was their lack of focus on digital distribution. That is, most consumers do not know the artists or content which Sony Music Entertainment has to offer. Also, if consumers were aware of the content which Sony has made available, most consumers would download it illegally rather than pay for it because they feel that the price is too high. The trend of digitally available content is an essential adaptation for

Introduction Sony Music Entertainment has a challenge in the field of digitally distributed music. Sony wants to be the frontrunner in innovative music products, but is behind Apple.

Entertainment During the Civil War Entertainment during the Civil War helped to encourage both soldiers and civilians in times of emotional hardships. It allowed for inspiration to shine through the darkness of depression. Many were comforted and supported by others in the unity of entertainment. The types of entertainment were varied, but all enabled expression. Photography was one form of entertainment during the Civil War. The type of photography that was particularly popular during the

Desirable Distractions: Entertainment of the 1930s Many people have heard of Frankenstein, Dracula, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and the Wizard of Oz. All of these classic movies come from the 1930s. The 1930s were filled with hardship as the country going through the Great Depression.

Does entertainment control the way we watch television? In Neil Postman’s analysis of television news, indicates that to catch the viewers’ attention the program has to use images rather than words. Postman looks at news as pure entertainment without essential seriousness. On January 25, 2016, I watched WDAM local news, during my watching I saw a lot of what Postman criticized.

Entertainment holds the attention and interest of an audience; it gives pleasure and delight, it lets people forget about any problems in their lives. Entertainment was specifically designed for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention. Long ago people started with: art, music, wall paintings, and stories.

condition of society. Though society is still functioning, it's functioning in the most superficial sense of the word. At its core, society is miserably ruined. To quote Shakespeare, society is "as rotten as ever oak or stone was sound," and on entertainment lies most of the blame.

Instead of the low contact, save-room-for-Jesus type of dancing our

Postman was not entirely correct about the news. News channels use music, the length of stories, and commercials for a purpose that is not entertainment.

internet has changed the way the world particularly teens view information and their behaviour when relaying the information they receive. The entertainment industry is effected by how teen relay details over the internet and whether they choose to share it with others in a positive or negative light.
