August 18 #333 Paper Tiger Reads 21st Century Working Woman
A feminist comedy show examining representations of working women in 
mainstream media and the evolution of women’s place in the workforce 
over the past 50 years. Structured as a local news program starring two 
female anchors this show uses slapstick comedy, man-on-the-street 
interviews, live music, kitschy camera techniques, big hair-dos, and 
plenty of cribbed footage to examine a myriad of issues related to the 
contemporary working woman. Topics covered include the economic crisis 
of 2008, Non-Traditional Employment for Women, a New York based 
non-profit that helps women enter the construction and building trades, 
and one woman’s rise and fall in the workplace, all interwoven into a 
critique of mainstream media representations of women working.

August 28 #332 Basta Ya!
Paper Tiger collaborated with youth in Brooklyn to create a video on how 
gentrification and development affects residents. Rents and property 
values skyrocketed over the past few years in Sunset Park, a mostly 
Latino and Asian working class neighborhood in Brooklyn. People are 
being displaced as condominiums are being built. This video was created 
to inform residents about what is happening and to inspire the community 
to take action. However gentrification is happening in communities 
everywhere, and we want this video to also be seen in a global context.
