I’m glad Comcast recognized that a couple of weeks ago when it announced its executive lineup. They kept Browne at the helm of Telemundo.

Steady recovery in global ad expenditure to continue for at least 3 years.

“The key result of this update is the continued rise of developing markets and digital media, and their central role in driving global growth,” said Steve King, ZenithOptimedia’s worldwide CEO. “In fact the importance of the internet is underrepresented in these figures.

2011 ADVERTISING FORECAST

As economies started to recover from the collapse of real estate-fueled bubbles in much of the world,2010 brought a period of relative stability — and in many instances improvement-compared to the upheavals experienced during 2009.

Is advertising ghettoizing Multicultural Americans?

My wife is an AP US History teacher. She’s been doing it for 10 years. But just quit, disheartened by the homogenized Eurocentric textbooks she’s forced to teach from. The story the textbooks tell, she explained, is a white story.
