most democracies have developed complex rules about media ownership. Britain, dumb to its importance, has the lightest of touches. We impose no nationality requirement; we do not tightly police the share of any media market held by one proprietor, nor make demands about limiting owners' power to take ownership chunks across the media domains

But to see how climate change will play out in the 21st century, you needn't look to the Met Office. Look, instead, to the deaths and burning tyres in Mozambique's "food riots" to see what happens when extreme natural phenomena interact with our unjust economic systems.

Despite the global interest in the rise of China, no one is paying much attention to its ideas and who produces them. Yet China has a surprisingly lively intellectual class whose ideas may prove a serious challenge to western liberal hegemony HT George Brock

Flush with money and brimming with confidence, China’s central state media are rapidly expanding beyond China’s borders to export the government’s official view on world events. At home, meanwhile, the government’s eagerness to control the news shows no signs of weakening,

Now 80 million households earn at least the equivalent of $5,000 annually, the point where discretionary spending commences—an increase of 80 percent in eight years. Meanwhile, the continent’s GDP has been rising steadily, at around 5 percent a year, for the past decade, reaching $1.6 trillion in 2008. Last year, Africa was one of just two regions (the other was Asia) where GDP rose. Is all this good news sustainable?

the paradoxical nature of President Sarkozy's media management style which is at once controlling and dynastic (for example the President's decision to nominate the directors of public broadcasting himself and the leaning on media owner friends to remove unflattering stories from their papers) and at the same time which is also apparently liberal (in that in opening up his private life to media scrutiny, Sarkozy has offered the French press a far greater transparency than it has ever previously enjoyed).

The debate in the years ahead will not be about how to continue with our baby boomer liberalism, but over how and where we need restraint around some shared principles and rules.

“Nobody watches commercials anymore, and it’s cost-prohibitive to buy ads online, so we approached Ace with the idea that if we created branded-entertainment pieces, then the content itself would be a marketing vehicle for the hotel.”

Bosses matter. They matter because more than 95 percent of all people in the workforce have bosses, are bosses, or both. They matter because they set the tone for their followers and organizations. And they matter because many studies show that for more than 75 percent of employees, dealing with their immediate boss is the most stressful part of the job.

Just as Ma Bell divided itself up into dozens of baby bells back in the 1980s - and arguably to the benefit of consumers and the telecommunications industry - many media companies will need to do the same to cope with the new digital dynamic.

Always use the word ‘war-torn’ in your title. Subtitles may include the words ‘tribal,’ ‘Taliban,’ ‘corrupt,’ and ‘Sharia.’ Also useful are words such as ‘shuras,’ ‘fighters,’ ‘refugees’ and ‘insurgency.’ Do not distinguish between different ethnic groups with different languages, religions and histories, or regions with different landscapes and livelihoods. If people in Kandahar tell you something, assume people in Kabul feel the same way, and vice versa. Whenever possible, mention Pashtunwali. (Note: you do not need to understand what Pashtunwali is. You get points for mentioning it anyway

"What Edelman brought back was extremely strategic, it told a story and took into consideration all of the different spaces -- earned, owned, paid and social. It hit on everything. I felt like they got our voice and maybe because their roots are in PR it was never just about buying banner ads with Edelman."

THE “ground zero mosque,” as you may well know by now, is not at ground zero. It’s not a mosque but an Islamic cultural center containing a prayer room. It’s not going to determine President Obama’s political future or the elections of 2010 or 2012. Still, the battle that has broken out over this project in Lower Manhattan — on the “hallowed ground” of a shuttered Burlington Coat Factory store one block from the New York Dolls Gentlemen’s Club — will prove eventful all the same.
