Julian Washington, owner of The Washington Broadcasting Network, is making an obscene amount of money—but he wants more. Anderson Carter, his hot-shot producer, convinces him that reality TV shows are quickly becoming one of America's favorite pastimes, and if Julian produces Revelations, a new reality show based on the lives of four prominent Atlanta pastors and their families, it will catapult his new network to major success. Reverend Brandon Kitts, Evangelist Danita Hyatt, Apostle Zack (Bo) Morton, and Bishop Jimmy Snow sign on to allow the cameras to follow them inside the pulpit and in their private lives as the stars of this exciting, new show. As the cameras roll, the ministers each face individual struggles with secrets, expectations, and their own personal revelations. Each one discovers that they must seek diligently to find God's truth in the midst of the lies of reality television.

Imagine a masquerade ball of existence; Mahendru provides you the courage to rip off your veneer and let the contours of your soul shine under the bright lights of truth. As a compass guiding you through a maze of authenticity, Mahendru's sequel raises crucial questions, challenging you to sever the marionette strings of illusion.

It invites you to step into the glaring spotlight of truth, dissolving the facade, and greeting the naked truth. As a beacon in the obscurity of delusion, "Faking Reality No More" beckons you towards self-liberation. So, are you prepared for the encore of your authentic life?

Film tourism has emerged as a major driver of tourism development for many destinations. To date, there has been substantial literature on the subject, but little of it has engaged with the wider social science paradigm of culture, film and media research. The intellectual components of film tourism as an area of academic inquiry span several academic subjects such as marketing, economics, finance, psychology, social development, sustainability, and operations. Film is a relatively obscure area of tourism research, but the wider interconnections between tourism, space and media are beginning to be explored and understood. The interest which the topic has generated highlights this subject as one that is worthy of attention within both the academic community and in a practitioner context. The contributions in this book discuss the debates about the perceived and actual impact of film tourism and what must still be learned about this phenomenon to create the most unique and satisfying visitor experiences and protect the communities and environments that it affects. Fundamental questions are raised regarding the real demand for and draw of film as a tourism motivator, and the range of assumptions, conflicts, and contradictions that underlie them.

This open access book looks at how a democracy can devolve into a post-factual state. The media is being flooded by populist narratives, fake news, conspiracy theories and make-believe. Misinformation is turning into a challenge for all of us, whether politicians, journalists, or citizens. In the age of information, attention is a prime asset and may be converted into money, power, and influence – sometimes at the cost of facts. The point is to obtain exposure on the air and in print media, and to generate traffic on social media platforms. With information in abundance and attention scarce, the competition is ever fiercer with truth all too often becoming the first victim. Reality Lost: Markets of Attention, Misinformation and Manipulation is an analysis by philosophers Vincent F. Hendricks and Mads Vestergaard of the nuts and bolts of the information market, the attention economy and media eco-system which may pave way to postfactual democracy. Here misleading narratives become the basis for political opinion formation, debate, and legislation. To curb this development and the threat it poses to democratic deliberation, political self-determination and freedom, it is necessary that we first grasp the mechanisms and structural conditions that cause it.

Most frauds perpetrated by senior managers take longer to uncover than those by other occupational groups and they steal more. This is a serious problem world-wide. Currently the Red Flag approach is used by auditors to prevent and uncover fraud and in some countries it is statutory. However, the existing approach does not catch managerial fraudsters quickly or very often. In Managerial Fraud, Dr Terry Sheridan reports the findings of her study of fraudulent executives. Her work illuminates the particular methods fraudsters employ to appear more authentic than the average person and reveals two types of executive fraudster with very different behaviours. All this helps to explain why the current Red Flag approach fails to identify potential fraudsters and instead tends to focus on Red Flag executives who are negative characters, but non-fraudulent and accounts for the problem auditors face, who see Red Flag indicators and are obliged to conduct further audits, yet find nothing of substance. During the author’s research, the innocent colleagues who worked closely with fraudulent managers have for the first time been interviewed about their experiences and had their impressions analysed, leading to the development of an innovative typology of fraudulent executives based on Impression Management Theory. Better understanding of what Dr Sheridan has uncovered might result in organisations being able to reduce their exposure to fraud perpetrated by their own senior management.

Malevolent Managers written by Terry A. Sheridan and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-05-15 with Business & Economics categories.
Dr Terry A. Sheridan employs a new and unique theoretical perspective to examine how malevolent, tyrannical and mediocre managers commonly use violence in the workplace, not necessarily physical violence, but bullying, overt and covert emotional abuse - all forms of negative behaviour that are damaging to individuals and organisations. The theoretical basis for the author’s analysis and prescriptions is the new perspective of Executive Impression Management, which stems from Dr Sheridan’s research into the differences between a number of types of executives from their co-workers’ point of view. That investigation developed indicators to identify different negative management types and also helped define what has been called respectful management - the sort exercised by those managers who are good stewards. What makes this book unusual is that it is derived from qualitative research and covers an area where hardly any scholarly work has been produced. The author argues that the research methodology employed has resulted in a better understanding of impression management than has hitherto been possible. It addresses the confusion that often abounds regarding who is a good or bad manager and the fact that we can identify bad management through measures of company or organisational performance, but not how and why it went wrong. It will assist the leadership of organisations to make the right decisions about recruitment and promotion and to identify and challenge poor performance effectively.
