https://lnkd.in/gu7XpSJz Sports betting is a relatively new industry in the US. Until 2018 you could only legally bet on sports in the state on Nevada, the home to Las Vegas. New Jersey was the first state to legalise sports betting six years ago and since then, a total of 38 states across America have done the same. Hannah Mullane looks at how the industry has grown so rapidly and discusses the consequences of the industry which has been allowed to evolve with very little regulation #sportsbetting, #regulation, #businessdaily, #gamblingaddiction, #economics, #legalization

Now that the dust has settled after the sensational broadcast of Mr Bates vs The Post Office, we can see that televised drama can have a powerful real-world impact. The writer of Mr Bates Versus the Post Office, Gwyneth Hughes, is a journalist and a dramatist. She told The Sun that the best journalism asks us to use our heads, but the best drama goes straight to the heart. After years of vital reportage in publications like Private Eye, it has taken an ITV drama to grab people by the ventricles (that’s in the heart right?) and appal and enrage them. This generated the political pressure to finally deliver some justice for the sub-postmasters. (How and why Fujitsu continued to pick up government contracts needs to be the topic of a dark, distinctly British comedy. In America they would have been sued into extinction.) Robert Ebert, who coined the term, described film as a powerful empathy machine as a result of its unique ability to let people immerse themselves in someone else's reality and experiences, in a way that real life makes it difficult to. We’d broaden that definition to include comedy, as comedy can motivate and change people’s minds. So, any entertainment that moves people becomes an empathy machine, in a way that facts alone can never match. We co-produced a comedy doc for C4 that introduced new audiences to climate migration. The episode highlights how you can get involved with complex issues, whilst ensuring the content is still entertaining and engaging for audiences. Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/ebNfxgAv How You Can Build An Empathy Machine for Impact: - Don’t pull your punches, emotional resonance and impact cannot be achieved by moderated narratives. - The emotional architecture of content requires careful consideration, to deliver a gut punch or belly laugh. We use a matrix of 27 emotions, selecting a minimum of three to evoke (read more here: https://lnkd.in/erSJvGz5 ) - Who's your audience? Our audience for Harry Meets the Far Right were young urban audiences who typically didn’t engage in climate migration. Talent played a vital role in bridging the gap between issue and audience and ensuring we had the impact we needed. - The benefit of an entertainment-led approach (we’ve banned the word ‘storytelling’) is value. Bates has received wall-to-wall press and broadcast coverage, in publications that often don’t campaign for social justice. - Earning media is key, given the increase in advertising costs and the larger volume of advertising throttling people’s news feeds. Research suggests that social media has divided humanity into hostile, keyboard-wielding tribes, Empathy Machines have the power to repair that. #EmpathyMachine #Impact #MrBatesVersusthePostOffice
