DESCRIPTION:
The N^3 Report presents a meta-broadcast of the NBC Nightly News (1980-2008) unpacked by cultural analytics. Through techniques examining visual characteristics and technological shifts that both are and are not obvious to the human eye, the N^3 Report performs what could be called “producer measurement systems” in search of visual patterns, trends, or variations and asks what defines the “look” of the news institution over the past 50 years. How and when did aesthetic changes take place? And what might be the “look” of the future? See more here.
