Patriciana Tenicela has joined BANG Music + Audio Post as producer, working directly on the company’s commercial projects as well as TV and film productions. She most recently worked for RadicalMedia as an associate producer on long form content for television and film. She began at BANG on December 3rd, the first “official” day of the company’s occupancy of its new headquarters on 35th Street in New York City.
Tenicela first moved to New York from Washington, DC in 2012 with nothing more than a suitcase and an unpaid internship at Inked Magazine. She got her first taste of the industry working as a vault technician-turned-office manager for commercial post house NO6. From there, she quickly moved into the producer role for Brooklyn-based startup Rad Brooklyn working closely with agencies, clients and reps on short form branded content. And following Rad she joined RadicalMedia, gaining experience in a much larger production landscape.
BANG’s president Brian Jones said of Tenicela, “Her deep experience across so many versions of A-list postproduction is a perfect fit for the variety of projects we work on and has made it possible for her to jump into our madness with both feet.”
The feeling is mutual. “I’ve really looked forward to working for a company that focuses on music and audio, which has always played a major role in my life,” said Tenicela. She is a freelance concert photographer for online blogs and print magazines, and in a past life played flute for a marching band and bass in an indie-rock band.
Lawsuit Alleges That TikTok Was Aware Of Risks Its Platform Posed To Kids and Teens
TikTok was aware that its design features are detrimental to its young users and that publicly touted tools aimed at limiting kids' time on the site were largely ineffective, according to internal documents and communications exposed in a lawsuit filed by the state of Kentucky.
The details are among redacted portions of Kentucky's lawsuit that contains the internal communications and documents unearthed during a more than two year investigation into the company by various states across the country.
Kentucky's lawsuit was filed this week, alongside separate complaints brought forth by attorneys general in a dozen states as well as the District of Columbia. TikTok is also facing another lawsuit from the Department of Justice and is itself suing the Justice Department over a federal law that could ban it in the U.S. by mid-January.
The redacted information — which was inadvertently revealed by Kentucky's attorney general's office and first reported by Kentucky Public Radio — touches on a range of topics, most importantly the extent to which TikTok knew how much time young users were spending on the platform and how sincere it was when rolling out tools aimed at curbing excessive use.
Beyond TikTok use among minors, the complaint alleges the short-form video sharing app has prioritized "beautiful people" on its platform and has noted internally that some of the content-moderation metrics it has publicized are "largely misleading."
The unredacted complaint, which was seen by The Associated Press, was sealed by a Kentucky state judge on Wednesday after state officials filed an emergency motion to seal it.
When reached for comment, TikTok spokesperson Alex Haurek said: "It is highly irresponsible of the Associated Press to... Read More
