MSNBC's ‘Story of Cool’ Features Seth Shapiro, AlphaNetworks CEO
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (PRWEB) July 10, 2018 -- MSNBC’s “The Story of Cool" included AlphaNetworks CEO and Two-time Emmy award winner Seth Shapiro as one of several illustrious experts interviewed.
“How do we define what makes a leader cool?” “Why do some celebrities appear to effortlessly embody what is chic and impressive?” Rapper and media personality LL Cool J has produced a show on MSNBC to answer these very questions. The show has authorities in politics, media, history, and art discussing what it means to be “cool” in America.
The three-part docu-series aired on July 1st, 2018 and continues in reruns. Seth Shapiro spoke about the historic change that television has created in American’s views of presidents and their personalities. Shapiro was part of the discussion around three presidents identified as cool: John Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama.
Shapiro explained how television affected how the American public saw President Kennedy. One of the key factors Mr. Shapiro identified was the ability of President Kennedy’s father to see the importance of media in influencing public perception. Shapiro offered his opinion that the Kennedy family was able to become prominent, in part, by being an early adopter of the power of television.
Seth Shapiro has well established himself as an expert in television’s history and influence on society. He is a two-time Emmy winner, an Adjunct Professor at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and has been the Governor of the Television Academy, as well as a member of their executive board.
