Not a quiet April Apologies for the lack of an editorial column last week; I was one of those affected by the large power failure in Johannesburg that Monday, and my laptop battery wasn't sufficient to keep me going. So what's been happening lately? The tip of the iceberg: the SABC circus is still in town, it's award show season ( Clio and various One Show shortlists are out; South Africa got four D&AD Yellow Pencils last week and one ADC Bronze Cube the week before; the MTN Radio Awards has been sparking heated debate); Cell C has put its new agency decision on review; MediaCom is the new Telkom media strategy, buying and planning agency and Y&R is the new Telkom TTL agency; Chris Vick continues to stir on Business Day, with Primedia Broadcasting responding; David Bullard vs Mondli Makhanya continues; The New Age last week Wednesday launched its new weekly media and marketing page, under the editorship of Louise Marsland; the e-tolling uproar continues unabated (latest on Twitter today: #mediaNOtotolls); and the ASA is trying not to get involved in those ghastly Protection of Information Bill ads... Oh, and the Press Freedom Commission Report is being launched this Wednesday. Please don't forget to take our Biz reader survey (first 1000 readers to respondents each receive a one-month subscription to iPad-only daily magazine iMaverick!). Once again, travel safe this long weekend! Simone Puterman ( @SimoneBiz) Managing editorPS The latest Ornico Ad Showcase features TV ads for Hyundai i10, Dentyne, Bevcan, Three Ships Whiskey and DPSA, and radio ads for Lasher, The Star, Hansa Pilsner, DStv and SASSA.

 [Chris Moerdyk: @chrismoerdyk] The refusal by the Advertising Standards Authority to rule on complaints about Government advertisements promoting the Protection of Information Bill has fuelled growing anger in the media and marketing industry over inconsistencies and selective application of regulations. [video] Read more >>
 [Gail Schimmel] I would agree that the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is correct in that it has identified that the government's Protection of Information Bill ads deal with an issue that is controversial, and that does "broadly" involve an issue of public policy. However, I have to question whether the ASA has carefully read Clause 2.4 of Section I of the Code of Advertising Practice. [video] Read more >>
 [Herman Manson: @marklives] One year on and 140 BBDO, the agency formerly known as Net#work BBDO Cape Town, has found that its identity change and internal organisational behaviour shift is paying dividends.

 [Herman Manson: @marklives] The Ogilvy Digital Marketing Academy (ODMA), an educational initiative between Ogilvy and lecturer and digital strategist Dave Duarte, has celebrated its first year of contributing to the "geekification of the ad industry," as Duarte had joked it would do when the academy in its current form was first launched in early 2011.

 [Douglas Kruger] Microsoft's proud creation suffers a similar PR problem to money. Universally acknowledged as the root of all evil, money was falsely accused. The original verse actually states that "the love of money is the root of all evil." Similarly, it is the obsessive, compulsive, yearning, mindless, brainwashed, mewling, needling, squirming, frightening need for PowerPoint that is the real problem. Not PowerPoint itself.

 [Graeme Joffe] Before some people get a little further carried away with the MTN Radio Awards, I feel a need to share my views to open debate. Do the awards actually reward excellence or is it all an exercise in self-sponsored self-promotion? Read more >>
 [Lance Rothschild] I am a little taken aback at Graeme Joffe's opinion piece on the MTN Radio Awards. This is the third year of the awards and the programme has shown significant growth over the three years.
