|

NewsTrust Yahoo Pipes Feed |
| The Poynter Institute welcomed disgraced former CBS anchor Dan Rather to share his thoughts on his long career and on the media in general this week. In an interview with Poynter's Mallary Tenore , he complained "So often, particularly covering politics, enterprises that describe themselves as journalistic enterprises, and journalists who describe themselves as journalists, in fact just become transmission belts."
That's exactly what Poynter's interview was, a transmission belt for Rather's lamest hits, including how the press needs a "spine transplant" and his shameless insistence that his phony-documents Texas Air National Guard story is still true. If Poynter cared about the reputation of journalism, why continue to entertain and spread doubt ... |

Murdoch pay falls by 6% to £10.9m

1.9.2010 |
The Guardian -- Front Page |
| Last year's pay packet was the media mogul's smallest since 2003 owing to a smaller performance-related bonus
While Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers laid off journalists and fought their way through a global advertising recession, the Australian-born media mogul endured a modest degree of personal belt-tightening – his take-home pay dropped by 6% to $16.8m, or £10.9m.
Although still a hefty sum, Murdoch's annual pay packet was his smallest since 2003. The 79-year-old billionaire's salary was unchanged at $8.1m, but his performance-related bonus fell 20% to $4.4m. He got stock and share options worth $4.05m and he enjoyed $275,117 worth of personal use of a corporate jet.
The figures were revealed in documents filed with US ... |

| Cristina Fernández seeks court ruling on newsprint producer Papel Prensa, alleging two newspapers forcibly bought company
Argentina's president yesterday moved to take over the country's only newsprint company, alleging two leading newspapers conspired with dictators to control it three decades ago to drive rivals out of business.
Cristina Fernández said the courts should decide whether Grupo Clarin and La Nación should face charges.
The companies, with which Fernández has been feuding for two years, deny any illegality in the acquisition of the newsprint firm, or other crimes. They accuse the president of trying to control the mechanisms needed to guarantee freedom of expression.
Speaking in a national broadcast, Fernández said she ... |

The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Headquarters of media empire become latest victim of infestation sweeping through Manhattan
The blood-sucking menace that has infiltrated Manhattan's skyscrapers has taken another scalp, after the headquarters of media empire Time Warner became the latest landlord to own up to the presence of bedbugs.
The city that supposedly never sleeps is under attack by night from an epidemic of stealthy, tiny, red-brown creatures that leave a tell-tale trail of itchy welts, distress, embarrassment and anxiety.
Homes, designer shops and government offices have fallen victim to bedbug infestations, which have exploded from 500 cases in New York during 2004 to 10,000 last year. "As part of a routine cleaning and preventative process, it was discovered ... |

Sorry, Mr. Gibbs, but your description of a "professional left" whose critiques of your boss, President Barack Obama, should be disregarded as the "crazy" musings of "people who ought to be drug tested" reflects that you are both authoritarian and out-of-touch.

| Disgraced peer freed on bail is relaxed and polite as he appears in court, but judge says he must appear again next month
Prison seems to have been good for Conrad Black. The disgraced peer and former media baron, returning yesterday to the same Chicago court where he was sentenced in 2007, was tanned, relaxed, thinner – and much more polite.
It was his first public appearance since his release on bail on Wednesday from Florida's Coleman Federal Correctional Institution pending appeal.
The belligerence, depression and arrogance that characterised him during the original trial was gone. There was no sign of the man who railed against the prosecution as "Nazis" and "pygmies".
Instead, the former Daily Telegraph owner, in blue-grey suit ... |
