Fishing & Maritime comments

Media Mogul	LIVEOUTLOUD bigger, better, bolder - with a sleek website to match! Well done LiveOutLoud - looks fantastic and it bodes well for the future. Magazines need to be more pro-active and clients want more bang for the buck! Offering added value across all media platforms including social media is the way to go...

Lee Cahill	NewsNow launches free digital edition I picked up a copy of NewsNow recently, just to check it out, and must say I was disappointed. It's not that the concept of bite-sized chunks of news brought to the busy consumer on a weekly basis doesn't work for me in principle, but who needs one piece after another that simply quotes sentences from other news sources - and acknowledges each one within the space of 250 words? It's distracting, and the reader is left with the feeling of that they're not really any the wiser for having read the piece. I also found the writing remarkably mediocre although, like parent magazine YOU, the infographics are good. Still, if you're going to claim that SA's cities aren't amongst the crime capitals of the world, it's a good idea to at least say which stats are being used to make this determination - total crime (including bag snatchings, for instance)? Well, yeah, that's going to influence the analysis. Violent crime stats would give an entirely different picture. After all, SA is the only country in the world with a murder rate higher than its road accident death rate (at approximately 29/100,000 of the population). So, in short, this is a news magazine I don't rate ( I especially don't rate a magazine that seems to be spinning crime stats!), but then again, I'm probably not the target market.

Lee Cahill	Despite uneasy co-existence, state and media are co-dependent I'm with him on this >>"Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter," says Amadou Mahtar Ba, Africa Media Initiative (AMI) CEO.

Lee Cahill	Design Indaba appoints Adams & Adams, introduces creative films, encourages youth LOVE Design Indaba - and what a great idea to include a workshop on protecting intellectual property. It's something that's much needed and long overdue. Posted on 15 Feb 2012 16:05 Like Reply Report
Zwile Nkosi	Townships not over shopped, wealthier Gauteng suburbs are I tend to share the same view with Michele here. I consider Maponya Mall and the retailers and outlets that have closed since it opened. Also to consider is supply and demand, hence the closure of Exclusive Books. Consumer insight rears its head in this case. Posted on 15 Feb 2012 15:46 Like Reply Report
Michele Sohn	Townships not over shopped, wealthier Gauteng suburbs are I'd be interested to see this same analysis looking at density by disposable income. Strip out population density and overlay population profitability. A large number of people does not mean a large amount of money to spend. Or have I missed the point?

Teresa Jenkins	Can Brand SA survive these stupid stunts? What will people speak about, if not allowed to speak about the weather? Posted on 13 Feb 2012 17:49 Like Reply Report
Teresa Jenkins	Are journos being real twits to tweet? I find the reporting styles very interensting, especially with our Political Reporters.Some just keep to the facts, and then you have the great journos with insight, such as Stephen Grootes, that can actually predict in a split second what the outcome or next comment will be. Cutting edge reporting, with a great deal of anticipation in every tweet, making you wait for the next.....and the next.............. Posted on 13 Feb 2012 17:47 Like Reply Report
Gwen Watkins	Sentech loses high court battle Nice that e-Botswana won, but the local TV offerings are dismal, so we tend to watch France24 Posted on 13 Feb 2012 17:19 Like Reply Report
Wicked Mike	Can Facebook ever make (real) money? Thanks, Thomas. You give solid options rather than my tearing at FB (Google The Facebook Failure if interested). I find your online university idea fascinating although, if it materialized, others would be quick to follow. Posted on 13 Feb 2012 16:10 Like Reply Report

Pearson Botha	Sasha Martinengo, 5FM parting ways I listen to 5FM all day up to 6pm, (techno hour and I'm gone) I don't listen to 5FM for the repetitive playlist of mechanically produced "music", I listen to 5FM because the voices I hear there are intellectually superior and wittier than any other radio station. So please bear this in mind before you employ another twelve year old barbie doll to irritate me with stories about puppy dogs, lipstick and wedding cake.
