    Cathy Hughes, Robert L. Johnson and Oprah Winfrey - WHO OWNS THE ATTENTION Book 5 - Part 04

    Washington, Chicago and Los Angeles, 1971 to 2017. Four Americans decline the salary and take the ownership position instead. Cathy Hughes buys a failing AM station in Washington and sleeps in it. Robert Johnson borrows against a lobbyist's Rolodex to put two hours a week on a satellite transponder nobody else wanted. Oprah Winfrey signs away her show to a network, gets it back, and builds a studio on the near West Side of Chicago. Evan Spiegel takes a company public whose shares carry no vote at all. Each of them found the same thing from a different direction: an audience the incumbents had priced at nothing, and a moment before anyone had worked out what it was worth. Covers Cathy Hughes, Robert L. Johnson, Oprah Winfrey, Evan Spiegel, and Black Entertainment Television. Narrated with a synthetic voice.

    Ernest Hemingway - THE WORKING DESK Book 5 - Part 04

    Kansas City, Toronto, Paris and Key West, 1899 to 1961. Ernest Hemingway learns to write on a newspaper copy desk at eighteen, under a house style sheet whose first rule is to use short sentences. He spends four years afterward filing cable dispatches from Europe at a rate that makes every word cost money, and comes out of it with a way of writing he then sells to little magazines, to two New York publishers, and at last to a public that had not known it wanted it. The way of writing becomes a tradition — taught, imitated, parodied and blamed. This is an account of the working arrangements that produced it: the desks, the rates, the contracts, the editors, and the cost. Covers Ernest Hemingway. Narrated with a synthetic voice.
