Sommario/riassunto |

"Once in a lifetime." The phrase comes up over and over from the people who worked on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings. The film's seventeen Oscars, record-setting earnings, huge fan base, and hundreds of ancillary products attest to its importance and to the fact that Rings is far more than a film. Its makers seized a crucial moment in Hollywood-the special effects digital revolution plus the rise of "infotainment" and the Internet-to satisfy the trilogy's fans while fostering a huge new international audience. The resulting franchise of franchises has earned billions of dollars to date with no end in sight. Kristin Thompson interviewed seventy-six people to examine the movie's scripting and design and the new technologies deployed to produce the films, video games, and DVDs. She demonstrates the |

impact Rings had on the companies that made it, on the fantasy genre, on New Zealand, and on independent cinema. In fast-paced, compulsively readable prose, she affirms Jackson's Rings as one the most important films ever made. |

An honest depiction of the challenges of trading and a clear explanation of what it takes to succeed Trading tends to be a winner-take-all activity where a small number of traders are very successful, while the majority either lose money or generate relatively small profits. In The Mental Strategies of Top Traders, author Ari Kiev identifies and analyzes the characteristics of successful traders and shows you how to cultivate these same characteristics. Successful trading, Kiev asserts, requires an unusual and sometimes contradictory blend of intellectual and psychological ab |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Allein aufgrund politischer Affären mussten in den vergangenen Jahren einige Bundesminister zurücktreten, mehrere Parteifunktionäre ausscheiden und sogar ein Bundespräsident sein Amt niederlegen. Ein Skandal kann die Reputation eines Politikers zerstören und seine Parteikarriere abrupt beenden. In dieser Ausnahmesituation hängt die berufliche Zukunft des Angegriffenen vor allem mit der Frage zusammen, wie gut er die Affäre kommunikativ und medial bewältigt. Nur wenige stürzen schließlich über die ursprüngliche Verfehlung, die meisten scheitern am richtigen Umgang damit. Doch was macht erfolgreiches Skandalmanagement aus? Um die Frage zu beantworten, entwickelt der Autor ein modernes Konzept der Krisenkommunikation im politischen Medienskandal. Die großen Affären der vergangenen Jahre werden auf mehreren Ebenen umfangreich nachgezeichnet und analysiert. Auf diese Weise macht die Studie deutlich, wie angegriffene Spitzenpolitiker den Vorwürfen inhaltlich begegnen, wie sie ihr Krisenmanagement organisieren – und warum selbst begnadete Redner so oft mit ihren Versuchen der Selbstverteidigung scheitern. |

arbeitet, gelingt es in der Arbeit gut, die Genese der vier ausgewählten Skandale im Detail nachzuzeichnen und eine aufschlussreiche Typologie der Reaktionsstrategien zu entwickeln. Medien Kommunikationswissenschaft 4/2017 Ein analytisches und informatives Buch für Politiker, Kommunikationswissenschaftler sowie Amts- und Mandatsträger. Hessenbrief 02/2017 Für politische Kommunikatoren ist "Politisches Skandalmanagement" dennoch empfehlenswert, da es über die Analysen hinaus auch praktische Handlungsempfehlungen bereithält. politik-komunikation.de, 11.08.2016 |
