Last month, in response to Pando’s revelations that anti-pension mogul John Arnold secretly was financing PBS’s “Pension Peril” series, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting issued a scathing report demanding immediate reform. Criticizing “the lack of transparency” at PBS, CPB’s ombudsman Joel Kaplan declared that public broadcasting outlets must let the public access details of their financial dealings.

Broadcasters at a Russian television station protested this week about the country's actions in Crimea, echoing what a Soviet radio announcer did 30 years ago. Two US-based presenters on Russia's English-language TV station Russia Today (RT) caused a stir recently by denouncing Moscow's military intervention in Ukraine.

Marvel upgrades its subscription app with a long-promised smart soundtrack and DVD-style video commentary, after spending a year laying the foundation for a more multimedia-friendly comics reading experience.

It's always refreshing to see a business that stands for optimism which is reflected in everything that Assemble Paper does.

A little-known Supreme Court ruling unmuzzled reporters—and changed Canadian journalism

After years of rumors and tests, Facebook on Thursday launched its video advertising inside the News Feed, the newest type of ad unit for the social network to sell to marketers. Like many Internet video spots, ads will be 15 seconds long. They will automatically play inside of a user’s stream, though without the sound on (much in the way Instagram videos autoplay on mute right now, too). If you tap the ad, it’ll expand to fill the screen and the sound will kick in. Pretty straightforward.

"It was my first job and I feel embarrassed and ashamed." An inside look at what it's like to work at the Kremlin-funded media outlet.

The Internet has been a boon and a curse for journalists. It threatens to destroy the entire industry, of course, by stealing away its advertising dollars. It has also led to new and creative digital media ventures while making it infinitely easier to research (and rehash) stories. One tool, in particular, rivals the search engine in its utility for journalists: the ability to quickly and effortlessly solicit crowdsourced research and dozens of expert opinions on any topic.

How much does your job matter to you? Would you stand up to your supervisors and refuse to do what they told you? Well, Jane Akre did. Jane Akre was at the top of her game. Her news show on Fox's Florida station WTVT earned higher ratings than ever before, she was satisfied that her reporting was without distortion or slant of any kind, and her family life was thriving. Then, with no warning, and against all expectations, Jane's toddler developed a taste for ice cream.

This might be even better than the earthquake reaction videos that made the rounds on Monday. While covering the awful news helicopter crash in Seattle, Fox 31 in Denver began showing some odd images: Edward Scissorhands, an enchilada(?), then … oh wow, that’s totally a penis. What is going on in that control room? Obviously this is not safe for work.

ABOUT 87 percent of Americans watch television while using devices like smartphones and tablets, but most of that second-screen usage is unrelated to the show or movie, according to the NPD Group, a market research company.

Several members of Ukrainian parliament from the Svoboda (Freedom) Party, led by a top member of the nation’s Free Speech Committee, video-taped themselves violently beating Alexsandr Pantelymonov, the CEO of Ukraine’s First National TV company, and forcing him to sign a letter of resignation.

Asian Internet censorship isn’t just limited to China. Near-neighbour Mongolia is showing the whip to online media after releasing a new blacklist of over 700 forbidden swear words that, if found on a website, could result in censorship, prosecution or shut down.

My column yesterday looked at, among other things, #adfails. For all the personal data collected and algorithmic targeting configured, online ads often misfire. Of course, online ads are still slightly more targeted than the mass-market blast of television commercials. TV is only recently getting into the behavioral targeting game.

I knew I had to quit. I’d been a correspondent for RT—the English-language international cable network funded by the Russian government—for about two and a half years. I’d looked the other way as the network smeared America for the sake of making the Kremlin look better by comparison, while it sugarcoated atrocities by one brutal dictator after another. I’d been thinking about leaving for a long time, but was trying to hang in there until I figured out my next move.

Richard John Taylor had no problem attracting investors to his films. After all, he was a senior editor on EastEnders, ran a production company with Louis Theroux and had a lucrative deal with ITV. There was only one problem…

Several members of the august “US Journalists Against Transparency” club are outraged by revelations in yesterday’s New York Times (jointly published by der Spiegel) that the NSA has been hacking the products of the Chinese tech company Huawei as well as Huawei itself at exactly the same time (and in exactly the same way) as the US Government has been claiming the Chinese government hacks.

The ethics of reposting content from social networks was questioned this month when BuzzFeed published a story composed almost entirely of tweets from sexual assault victims. The story quickly morphed from a chance to highlight the ordeals these women faced into a spectacle that prompted some journalists — including myself — to wonder about the balance between using Twitter as a reporting tool and using personal messages to drive pageviews.

Earlier today, fans paused to mourn the passing of an Internet icon—and to marvel at the cultural changes that eventually toppled Television Without Pity, one of the former greats of online pop culture commentary.

Paulina Gretzky's presence on the cover of "Golf Digest" has stirred up something of a controversy among LGPA golfers. In the photo, Gretzky is posing with a golf club while wearing a white sports bra, white leggings and white and red sneakers.
