FEC Chairman Unsettles Bloggers With Talk Of Online Regulation
by Shankar Gupta

FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSIONER SCOTT THOMAS unnerved some prominent bloggers last Friday when he spoke publicly at a conference at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. about the agency's plans for regulating political donations online. While the media is generally exempt from regulation under campaign finance laws, Thomas indicated that the agency might nonetheless regulate expenditures to blogs and some online publications. "We have shown at the FEC a willingness to extend the media exemption to some Internet-based news services. But this media exception inquiry will go to the question of: 'What is a periodical publication?' and 'What is a legitimate press function?' It will also get into: 'What is news?'...'What is commentary?'...'What is editorial content?'" said Thomas, according to a transcript of his remarks posted at the blog RedState.org.

While media spending devoted to television--the category that benefited the most--was boosted by the Summer Olympics and the Presidential election, that doesn't explain the robust ad growth for 2004, which has expanded at a faster rate than the general economy in nine of the last 10 quarters, said Steven J. Fredericks, president and CEO of TNS Media Intelligence.

Podcasting Anyone?

Monday, March 14, 2005
This is from our friend and fellow International Virtual Women's Chamber of Commerce member, Penny Haynes and eMedia Touch....

<BIG SMILE>
Imagine having a small handheld MP3 player (portable player that plays audio files - music or spoken word).
Imagine hooking it up to your computer at night, and when you wake up, you have audio files (like talk-show segments) on subjects you are interested in learning about loaded into that player. Imagine walking away with your handheld player and listening to hours of fresh, original content from people all over the globe (instead of commercial-filled radio).
Imagine most of it costing you NOTHING.

How Podcasting is Used

by Sharon Housley

Although podcasting is new, it is well on its way to becoming a mainstream communication medium. Podcasting, simply put, is audio files that are delivered via RSS. Many people believe that podcasting is solely for the distribution of music files, but really, nothing could be further from the truth. This emerging method of audio file distribution has opened an array of marketing and communication opportunities to businesses. Currently, most who are familiar with podcasting are technically savvy, but it is clear that podcasting will be more than a passing fad as many businesses are adopting podcasting and employing it in unusual yet powerful ways.
