ClickZ: No Formula for Podcast

ClickZ marketing guru Pete Lerma has some interesting thoughts on the state of placing podcast sponsorships. "If ever there was a next big thing in online advertising, this is it. We've recently helped one of my agency's clients, Travelocity get in on the podcast sponsorship movement, redirecting online ad dollars to this promising alternative channel," writes Lerma. "The first thing you need to know is, at this point, this is a very manual process," he adds.

Electronic Frontier Foundation Delivers Smackdown to Apple in Blogger's Rights

A California state appeals court ruled in favor of the Electronic Frontier Foundation's (EFF's) petition on behalf of three online journalists Friday, deciding that the online journalists have the same right to protect the confidentiality of their sources as offline reporters do. "Today's decision is a victory for the rights of journalists, whether online or offline, and for the public at large," said EFF Staff Attorney Kurt Opsahl, who argued the case before the appeals court last month. "The court has upheld the strong protections for the free flow of information to the press, and from the press to the public." In their decision, the judges wrote: "We can think of no workable test or principle that would distinguish 'legitimate' from 'illegitimate' news. Any attempt by courts to draw such a distinction would imperil a fundamental purpose of the First Amendment, which is to identify the best, most important, and most valuable ideas not by any sociological or economic formula, rule of law, or process of government, but through the rough and tumble competition of the memetic marketplace."
