《名利场》 recently published its annual “新机构名单,” a ranking of 100 “Silicon Valley hotshots, Hollywood moguls, Wall Street titans, and cultural icons,” and among the names are three BU alums.

Leading the trio is 探索通信 president and CEO David Zaslav (LAW’85), who came in at 45th. Bonnie Hammer (CGS’69, COM’71, SED’75), chairman of nbc环球有线娱乐公司, ranked 75th, and + E网络 head Nancy Dubuc (COM’91) took 79th place.

The list was chosen by a panel consisting of 财富 writer Dan Primack, 融合 news director Kevin Roose, and several 《名利场》 editors, writers, and special reporters. The “New Establishment” list began 22 years ago when 《名利场》 editor Graydon Carter first took over the magazine and wanted to boost circulation and advertising. According to a BBC的故事, Carter was having lunch with journalist David Halberstam, who pointed out that there was “a big shift going on in American culture, from an industrial economy to one based on entertainment and technology.” 这一观察结果导致了新建制派的第一期年度特刊。 这份榜单的重点是那些推动信息时代的人。

Zaslav在波士顿大学读书时就对娱乐法产生了兴趣（据他自己承认，他还花了很多时间偷偷溜进红袜队的比赛现场）。 毕业后，他担任探索频道（Discovery Channel）和MTV的顾问，并于1989年被NBC环球（NBC Universal）聘为其不断壮大的有线电视部门的律师。他通过与康卡斯特（Comcast）、时代华纳（Time Warner）和DirectTV的谈判，帮助该部门扩张。 他还通过互联网、手机和其他无线设备等新技术将电影和电视节目带给观众。 And in 1996 he played a key role in creating 微软全国有线广播电视公司.

2007年，Zaslav成为探索传播公司的总裁兼首席执行官，该公司旗下拥有一系列网络，如动物星球、OWN：奥普拉·温弗瑞网络、TLC和探索频道。 《名利场》 他是探索频道虚拟现实网络探索VR的幕后推手，该网络在第一年就吸引了6000万浏览量。 该杂志指出了一个失误，作为扎斯拉夫死亡的证据：“探索频道改变了鲨鱼周，以避免与奥运会竞争，没有意识到鲨鱼周在夏末的三伏天里蓬勃发展。 评级下降。 Zaslav承诺明年将恢复正常的高温天气。”

Former 每日自由新闻 writer Dubuc joined A+E Television Networks in 1999, became president of the History Channel and Lifetime Network in 2007, then earned the top job—president and CEO—at + E网络 in 2013. 她现在掌管着包括A+E、Lifetime和History在内的有线电视频道，掌管着价值260亿美元的投资组合，覆盖了3.3亿多户家庭。 Last December, Dubuc was once again on the 好莱坞记者’s list of the 娱乐圈前100名女性. 《名利场》 cited her role in “spicing up the once sleepy Heart/Disney joint venture with Lifetime’s 本科 send-up, 不真实的, and the Spike Jonze–led Viceland channel.” It was 宣布 last August that A+E Television Networks would buy a 10 percent stake in the millennial favorite Vice Media for $250 million.

The 好莱坞记者, which lists Hammer as well as Dubuc on its 2015 top 100 women in the entertainment business list, refers to her as “the queen of cable,” and for good reason. 在波士顿公共电视台WGBH开始她的职业生涯后，哈默搬到了有线电视网Lifetime和USA，在那里她把世界摔跤娱乐变成了一个主要的特许经营，然后成为Syfy和USA的总裁。 如今，她是nbc环球有线娱乐集团（nbc环球有线娱乐公司 Group）的董事长，该集团旗下有10个网络，包括Bravo、Oxygen、Syfy和USA，以及两家有线电视工作室。 It “continues to be a major contributor to NBCU’s top and bottom lines, with a 2015 profit of $2.8 billion,” 《名利场》 noted. Among the shows under her leadership are 《与卡戴珊姐妹同行, 机器人先生, and the Caitlyn Jenner reality show 我是凯特.

今年“新建制派”榜单的榜首是亚马逊创始人兼首席执行官杰夫·贝索斯，取代了脸谱网的马克·扎克伯格，后者跌至第二位。 此外，媒体大亨鲁珀特•默多克（第8位）、歌手碧昂斯（第10位）和GMC首席执行官玛丽•巴拉（第52位）也名列其中。 不到四分之一的上榜富豪是女性。
