IAB to FTC: Rescind blogger rules

Completely self-servingBy this rationale, why does anyone ever have to disclose anything? You can apply this logic to traditional media as well. Afraid to admit in the blog that you got the stuff you rave about was free? The real impact is it opens a channel for the vendor to...

Is keeping big media alive good for the future of journalism?

All old media companies need to die off...They are too constrained reliving memories of past glory to change in any meaningful way.
