    "The front page of Friday's Los Angeles Times was taken over by an ad for Disney's "Alice in Wonderland." The ad, which featured Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter character, was superimposed over a mock front page. The paper's real A1 appeared behind it. "We worked very closely with Disney to come up with an exceptional and distinctive way to help them open 'Alice in Wonderland,'" John Conroy, a spokesman for the LAT, told The Wrap's Sharon Waxman. "It was designed to create buzz, and to extend the film's already brilliant marketing campaign. "

    Several broadcast companies that reported earnings the past few weeks have pointed out that TV station revenues were down due to the lack of political ad spending in 2009. Since 2010 is a banner year for major Congressional races, local media researcher Borrell Associates expects that TV broadcasters will have something to cheer about. The same can't be said for online media, which will hardly see a fraction of the total $42 billion Borrell says will be spent on political campaigns.

    "A group of 25 Liberal Democrat candidates has penned an open letter urging the party to rethink its bid to cut off sites accused of copyright infringement. The Lib Dems' Lord Clement Jones successfully tabled an amendment to the Digital Economy Bill which would give courts the power to force ISPs to block sites accused of copyright infringement." The policy has been attacked as "dangerous" by civil liberties campaigners, who \nfear it swings the balance of power in favour of copyright holders and could harm free speech."

Net Neutrality citizens united free speech Internet Service Provider ISP

  • Under the FCC's proposed net neutrality rules, broadband providers would be prohibited from discriminating against any legal Web content and applications. Some net neutrality opponents have argued that the FCC, by forcing them to carry other content, would violate their free-speech rights, and the Citizens United ruling makes that a stronger argument.
  • An FCC spokeswoman declined to comment on the Citizens United case, but Wendy is not alone in making this free-speech argument against net neutrality. Even before the Citizens United ruling, some conservative think tanks, the National Cable and Telecommunications Association and constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe have made similar
  • Free Press' Wright said those arguments confuse the role that ISPs have as Web site publishers with their role as network operators. She acknowledged that broadband providers have limited functions, such as publishing their own Web sites or blogs, that enjoy free-speech rights.

  • But the net neutrality rules as proposed would create no limits on the ability of ISPs to publish their own Web sites, she said. The arguments that the ISPs' traffic-carrying role is speech is "so fundamentally at odds with the facts in the law," Wright said.

google china censorship leaving bloggers cyberattack

shared by kkholland on 17 Jan 10 - Cached
  • Google said on Tuesday that it was considering shutting down Google.cn and closing its offices in China after a cyber attack on its corporate infrastructure resulted in intellectual property loss. Google also said it would stop censoring search results on Google.cn. For the first time, reports and images of the Tiananmen Square massacre and other events could be seen through Google searches in China.
  • Chinese American media rushing to provide their analysis in the context of U.S.-China relations. “Google, Don’t become a tool in the political fight between the U.S. and China” read the headline of an editorial published Friday in China Press. “Though Obama tried to adapt to China’s increasingly powerful role in the world with a new attitude and said the United States would not repress China’s development, the differences in ideology between the countries continue to prohibit the U.S.-China relationship from moving forward,” the editorial argued.
  • “If the Chinese government just let it go, Google could stop its financial losses in China, which would be beneficial to its share price. If the Chinese government is willing to compromise, Google will become the ‘hero’ that breaks China’s strict control over Internet information.” Chinese investors, Leung noted, believe the absence of Google will actually benefit the local Internet market; the stock prices of Chinese Internet companies rose right after the announcement was made.

  • Editors of the World Journal said they were happy to see Google defend the freedom of online information without censorship, describing it as “an act of courage.” A popular column in World Journal contends that it is time for the Chinese government to change in order to develop into a truly strong country. “A real strong country is not just strong economically,” the column argues. “It also needs development in people’s values, in order to build a healthy and principled system, and abolish the current zero-tolerance policy on dissident expression.”
  • An editorial written by Feng Lei of Guangzhou’s Southern Metropolis Daily doubts if Beijing is willing to let go of Google. “A company like Google not only serves as a technology leader in China’s domestic market, but also, by virtue of its presence, has a ‘catfish effect’ [raising overall performance in the industry]. Without this presence and effect, there will be a definite impact on the development of the industry domestically.”
  • A news analysis in China Times describes the announcement as a tactic for Google to gain more freedom in China.
  • The most popular blogger in China, Han Han, also expressed his support for Google. He wrote on his blog, “I understand Google’s decision, whether it is for real or not. What I don’t understand is that some Web sites conducted surveys saying that 70 percent of Internet users do not support Google’s request that the Chinese government stop its censorship. While looking at these survey results on the government Web site, you often find yourself on the opposite side,” adding that these Web sites should be the ones to be censored.
  • A blog on Baidu.com, Google’s biggest competitor in China, said, “The tone of the top Google legal advisor disgusts me. He could have said that they are withdrawing for economic reasons, plain and simple. Instead, they have to make themselves look good by saying that Google was attacked by Chinese people, that Gmail accounts of Chinese dissidents were attacked, and so on in order to explain why they are withdrawing from China. This type of tone is an insult to the intelligence of ordinary Chinese citizens.”
  • The reason Google is having a hard time in China, she argued, is that there is a mismatch between American ideology and Chinese management style. “In the Chinese market, Google has no intention of adjusting itself to adapt to the Chinese situation, but works according to its own ideology,” she writes. “That’s why, under media exposure during the anti-pornography campaign, Google could barely handle the situation and had to change its leadership in China.”

    "The Los Angeles Times' critic may have panned the film, but that didn't stop Disney from paying top dollar to turn the newspaper's front page into a special advertisement for the new movie, "Alice in Wonderland." The ad, believed to be the first of its kind among America's leading big-city dailies, dismayed some readers and was lamented by media scholars as the latest troubling sign of difficult times at the newspaper and for journalism generally. Hollywood blogger Sharon Waxman cited one "media buyer insider" as saying the Walt Disney Co, the studio behind the film, paid $700,000 for the space.
