  • City Press: Many South Africans welcome TopTV porn... According to the report, TopTV says the bouquet of pornographic channels it wants to broadcast has been welcomed by a "vast majority of South Africans".

    The question is: Has that been accurately measured by a reputable research company?

  • Channel24: TopTV porn plan elicits record response... There's nothing like the thought of porn on TV to get those for and those against riled up and ready to put their views across.

    So it's no wonder that the hearings in response to TopTV's application to broadcast porn has attracted 285 submissions to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) from organisations, TV industry stakeholders and the South African public.

  • The New York Times Bits: The end of Google Reader sends internet into an uproar... So this is another topic that has certainly got attention... Google's decision to shut down Google Reader on 1 July has created a great deal of comment.
