==Vanity publishing in other media== The vanity press model exists for other media such as videos, music and photography. A notable example is [[ARK Music Factory]], which, for a fee, produced and released [[Rebecca Black]]'s 2011 [[viral video]] "[[Friday (Rebecca Black song)|Friday]]".<ref name="Hundley">{{cite news | first = Jessica | last = Hundley | title = Patrice Wilson of Ark Music: 'Friday' is on his mind | date = 30 March 2011 | url = http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2011/03/patrice-wilson-of-ark-music-friday-is-on-his-mind.html | work = [[Los Angeles Times]] | access-date = 2011-03-30}}</ref> Vanity academic journals also exist, often called [[Predatory publishing|predatory journals]], which publish with little or no editorial oversight, although they may claim to be [[peer reviewed]].
