As the fall 2011 issue of T E News came to print, it was clear that tackling the subject of entertaiment (and the industry that it has spawned into a multi-billion dollar empire) would be no easy feat. The work required a monumental effort, not only in terms of labor, but also in the willingness to take on such a broad and amorphous subject matter as entertainment. It’s a good thing that TEN is an acronym for Transformational Entertainment News, otherwise we might have been stuck trying to come up with an abbreviation for “What Is Entertainment?”. The word entertain derives from the Latin intertenere, which means to hold inside.
