AOL, once considered a pioneer in internet technology, has fallen on hard times over the years, unable to devise an effective branding strategy.

NBC Universal's investment in driverTV, announced yesterday, is more than just another digital media investment by a major media company. Chief digital officer George Kliavkoff said it's also the first in a series of moves by NBC to lure niche audiences with well-produced video content. Kliavkoff told ClickZ the new strategy will involve both the aggregation of existing content and the creation of new material geared toward important ad categories. He said those categories won't necessarily focus on products, but rather will speak to "things that people are passionate about or have affinities for, that also happen to fit the criteria for a top advertising category that we think is underserved by professional quality video. "For us this is only one of multiple business models that we're goi
New Delhi, (IANS) Exuding confidence that Indian filmmakers can win over western audiences if they aim to do so, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan says corporate houses entering the world of entertainment should be given time to mature.“I can’t think of any Indian filmmaker who has made films for international audience. For years we are making films for our audience and we have a very healthy audience. However, our producers have created impact with their films without actually aiming to do so - for instance Raj Kapoor,” Aamir said while speaking at the session, “Entertainment Next”, at the India Today Conclave 2008 here Saturday.“If we really want to entertain the world audience, then first you have to decide to (do) that.

This seems to be the month to talk about difficult audiences. I came across the topic on two other public speaking blogs, so I decided to post a link to my own two cents. Based on my presentation last month to UCSB's Rape Prevention Education Program's peer educators, I wrote an article for my January newsletter about presenting difficult topics, which often results in difficult audiences, or at least difficult audience members.We've all faced a difficult audience member at one time or another, but presenting on difficult topics (like domestic violence, or homophobia, or sexual harassment, or other subjects that bring out people's discomfort and defensiveness) raises the possibility of a resistant audience to a whole new level.Meet them where they are, understand where they're coming from

The mainstream media, after defaming Bill O’Reilly for attempting to dispel racial stereotypes, is dumbfounded why Republicans skipped the recent Republican debate. The truth is that whenever any white person attempts to speak honestly about race, they are dragged through the mud as a racist. With the exception of Bernard Goldberg, few have been able to do so as eloquently. I digress.Any person who heard the Bill O’Reilly radio conversation with Juan Williams, in context, learned very quickly that the MSM deliberately tried to defame Bill O’Reilly without justification. Then when Juan Williams came to O’Reilly’s defense, CNN shielded themselves behind liberal black activists who in tern attacked Juan Williams. It was beyond deplorable because Bill O’Reilly and Juan Williams were making headway with discussions of racism and stereotypes in America. Sadly, liberals in the MSM attempted to set back any progress that was made.In truth, white Americans are scared to death to spe

I was reading this interview with Don Cheadle, the actor starring in Talk to Me, when I came upon this question and his response:
Q: With international box office becoming an increasing part of the Hollywood financial equation, are you worried that it will negatively affect black actors who, some say, cannot be relied upon to draw people to box offices overseas?
A: I don't necessarily believe that black films and black actors don't travel. There's sometimes a lack of (marketing) on those films. It can be a self-fulfilling prophecy if you don't spend 'Spidey' money on a movie like "Talk to Me" and then say "oh, it doesn't work." When I do international press, people approach me all the time and say "we love you in Europe, in Asia, in South America," and so on. There's definitely an audience there."
It's an interesting issue. I'm wary of the lack of marketing excuse; I assume studios want to market any movie they think will make them money. I couldn't imagine the followin
