COM校友入选《名利场》“新贵榜”

《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. 邦妮锤 (CGS’69, COM’71, SED’75), chairman of NBC环球有线娱乐, ranked 75th, and + E网络 head 南希等级 (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.
