Future of Mobile News The era of mobile digital technology has crossed a new threshold. Half of all U.S. adults now have a mobile connection to the web through either a smartphone or tablet, significantly more than a year ago, and this has major implications for how news will be consumed and paid for, according to a detailed new survey of news use on mobile devices by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ) in collaboration with The Economist Group. At the center of the recent growth in mobile is the rapid embrace by Americans of the tablet computer. Nearly a quarter of U.S. adults, 22%, now own a tablet device-double the number from a year earlier. Another 3% of adults regularly use a tablet owned by someone else in their home. Mobile users, moreover, are not just checking headlines on their devices, although nearly all use the devices for the latest new updates. And for many people, mobile devices are adding how much news they consume. Among the detailed findings of the study:

BEST GLOBAL BRANDS 2010: Apple fails to break into top flight The company, headed by Steve Jobs, boosted its brand through carefully controlled messaging and an endless wave of buzz surrounding new product launches, but somewhat surprisingly failed to make the top 10. It has recently taken a knock in public perception due to problems with reception encountered by its iPhone 4 handset, which led to the offer of a free rubber casing for those who were dissatisfied with their purchase. The brand barometer placed soft drinks manufacturer Coca-Cola as its top global brand, with technology brand IBM taking second place, Microsoft third and Google fourth. Another technology company, Hewlett-Packard, broke into the top ten for the first time as the company had "increased brand value under a new business model and brand platform", according to Interbrand. One of the strongest improvers in the technology sector was BlackBerry with a 32% hike in brand value. League Tables
Réchauffement climatique Un Guest Post signé Jean-Michel Bélouve, qui remet à leur place les piteuses outrances de la médiasphère réchauffiste après la parution du rapport de l’Académie des Sciences sur le climat Une dépêche, tombée le 28 octobre à 11 h 30, nous informe de la publication du rapport de l’Académie des Sciences relatif au changement climatique. La communication, signée de Claire Snegaroff, qui publie très régulièrement des papiers à sensation sur le réchauffement global, est titré : « Climat : l’Académie des Sciences réfute les thèses de Claude Allègre« . Une interprétation médiatique fallacieuse Je rappelle que ce rapport résulte d’une demande, faite à l’Académie par la Ministre de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche Valérie Pécresse, saisie d’une plainte de 600 professionnels de la recherche climatique contre les écrits de Claude Allègre et de Vincent Courtillot. Dans les minutes qui suivaient, le texte de l’AFP a été repris et commenté de façon lapidaire par un grand nombre de médias.
In Changing News Landscape, Even Television is Vulnerable Trends in News Consumption: 1991-2012 Overview The transformation of the nation’s news landscape has already taken a heavy toll on print news sources, particularly print newspapers. Online and digital news consumption, meanwhile, continues to increase, with many more people now getting news on cell phones, tablets or other mobile platforms. These are among the principal findings of the Pew Research Center’s biennial news consumption survey, which has tracked patterns in news use for nearly two decades. The proportion of Americans who read news on a printed page – in newspapers and magazines – continues to decline, even as online readership has offset some of these losses. The decline of print on paper spans beyond just newspapers. While print sources have suffered readership losses in recent years, television news viewership has remained more stable. The changing demographics of the TV news audience are particularly noticeable in the audiences for local and cable news.

Are Twitter Followers Better Than Facebook Fans? Marketers looking to push out the most effective messages to opt-in recipients must understand how audiences differ across channels and what causes them to connect with brands. Marketing venues that seem similar may differ strongly if their users have different needs and motivations. According to the final edition of ExactTarget’s “Subscribers, Fans and Followers” report, the differences between email, Facebook and Twitter also include their influence on customer loyalty. Daily Twitter users who followed a brand were more than twice as likely as daily Facebook users who “liked” a brand to say they were more likely to purchase from the brand after becoming a social media follower. What’s more, Facebook fans were the most likely group to actively disagree with the question. Subscribers to opt-in marketing emails fell in the middle. The pattern among Twitter followers, email subscribers and Facebook fans was similar when asked about whether they would recommend a brand.
