Taking offence

We all remember the Flora margarine advert and fallout that ensued, which is why Justin McCarthy tells us what an advert for a tub of margarine can teach us about the dangers of narrow self-interest. Next stop... e.tv? Possibly not, but Bizcom's Warren Harding dusted off the old suit and hit the Red Carpet at the 35th annual Loerie Awards to bring us Loeries 2013: The Biz Takeouts video. Moneyweb vs Media24 will be a precedent-setting case in the context of South African media law. Branko Brkic looks at the issues and reckons one outcome will protect media houses and publications intent on fulfilling their journalistic duties from aggregating predators. So you thought being able to multitask is a strength. Tiffany Markman takes a look at Multitasking - the myth. Sanef has responded to the report on transformation of print and digital media, and to end, [Biz Takeouts Podcast] 72 looks for a solution to the divide between business and IT. Rod Baker, Content Director (@Bizcommunity, @Biz_Marketing) PS Take a look at the latest ads in the Ornico ad showcase.
