Last night the Baltimore City Council became the first in the nation to pass a law that would require pro-life crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) to post in writing disclaimers noting that they do not provide abortion services or contraceptives nor refer women to persons or clinics who do. Reporting the story in the November 24 paper, the Baltimore Sun’s Julie Scharper quoted the bill’s author and council president Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (D) heralding the passage of the bill as “a step towards making sure that women have the information they need to make the right decision...

CNN FINALLY Reports ClimateGate — To Downplay It Of Course

It only took CNN six days to notice the growing international scandal known as Climategate, and when it finally reported on the matter, it predictably did so by downplaying the significance. Maybe even more embarrassing for the supposedly “Most Trusted Name In News,” Russia Today did a far better job of detailing what happened at Britain’s Climate Research Unit and how the global warming debate is impacted by it. Throughout her report on Wednesday’s “The Situation Room,” CNN correspondent Brooke Baldwin regularly referred to the “global warming consensus.” Read... [Read the full story]

The European Commission (EC) said on August 20 2009 that Europeans young and old could miss out on the benefits of today’s high-tech information society unless more is done to make them “media literate” enough to access, analyse and evaluate images, sounds and texts and use traditional and new media to communicate and create media content. The Commission said that European Union countries and the media industry need to increase awareness of the many media messages people encounter, be they advertisements, movies or online content.

Cable ONE Inc. ’s quest for an ultra-cheap, high-definition set-top box could be a big break for some vendors that are trying to crack the tough U.S. cable market, but only if they can squeeze the price down to $50 per unit. Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. , EchoStar Technologies, Irdeto Access B.V. , Latens Systems Ltd. , and Pace Micro Technology are among the box makers and conditional access system providers vying for the MSO’s business, according to a recent Cable ONE filing that’s asking the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for more time to complete an all-digital conversion.

New ABC Rules Helps Some Papers Boost Circ

November 27, 2009 · 45971 Comment2009-11-27+22%3A20%3A00Peter

NEW YORK While U.S. newspapers are losing subscribers at a staggering rate, a few dailies stand out because their circulation is rising. But they aren’t necessarily selling more copies. Here’s why: Since April 1, new auditing rules have made it easier for newspapers to count a reader as a paying customer. These looser standards are especially helpful to a newspaper if it sells an “electronic edition.” That can include a subscriber-only Web site, such as what The Wall Street Journal has, or it can be a digital replica of a newspaper’s printed product.
