> ANNOUNCEMENT New study released: Over 5000 articles in 96+ countries, 800 TV broadcasts, one cultural event. But how did this happen? Media coverage compilation filled with data for analysis, or for brainstorming more desired results-- small and large-for projects artdesigncafe.com has released a case study that shows an example of the current state of art in the age of mass/Internet media via a compilation of the media coverage of Tony Matelli's discussion-generating Sleepwalker sculpture at Wellesley College (2014), near Boston. 5000+ entries are listed showing how far and wide an art story can travel when journalistically packaged in a certain way and when pushed through various news distribution channels. The coverage extends from "Wellesley to Waco, TX and Saskatchewan to Saudi Arabia". Diverse photo-based and Internet-based video distribution, through fairly new networks- and social media- are key elements. Part of a summer focus, articles accompanying the case study / compilation include a 1000-word overview "Media Push and Pull. the 'creepy statue' controversy"-co-partnered with Sculpture magazine; interviews of the artist and media relations consultant to the project (that were completely surprised by the international media frenzy); a PR/journalism researcher estimates the financial value of the media coverage to an organization; and former and current directors of Manchester's Castlefield Gallery discuss, "Can artists and art organizations leverage a media frenzy to their benefit?"
