		<description><![CDATA[The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is drawing up guidelines that will allow it to investigate bloggers who promote products, as well as the companies that pay them to do so, when such conflicts of interest are not disclosed to readers. The agency also will investigate any false claims by the bloggers that result from this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gannett Co. is axing 1,400 newspaper jobs. Fitz &#38; Jen published an internal memo that explains, &#8220;Unfortunately, we must take these steps because the advertising environment remains challenged. There have been some promising signs of a recovery, but the reality is the improvements are not broad-based and the economy continues to be fragile.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I wrote about people representing a sketchy magazine subscription company showing up at my door; today, let me tell you about the robocall (or robopoll) that I got from ABC 7&#8217;s Eyewitness News station in New York. &#8220;Hosted&#8221; by Eyewitness News anchor Bill Ritter (right), it asked me who was at fault in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Based on ratings for the second quarter just released by Nielsen, I guess I can believe what I was seeing Tuesday night on CNN: an example of a respected news network going totally tabloid.
The just-released second quarter Nielsen figures show that CNN trails both MSNBC and Fox in the 25-to-54 demographic. Silicon Alley Insider&#8217;s Nich [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During a recent visit to The New York Times&#8216; world headquarters in Manhattan, I asked a few staffers about the &#8220;geek squad&#8221; that reportedly is exploring lots of exciting alternatives to the conventional way the company has operated in the past.
&#8220;There are several groups, actually, one on this floor, another a few floors down, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every now and again, it strikes most of us how bizarre the magazine circulation game is, be it the role of Publishers Clearing House in goosing magazine circulation numbers, or the relentless, and costly, mailing of postcards to subscribers, explaining in doomsday terms, what will happen if they don&#8217;t re-up.
Which brings me to how I [...]]]></description>

The AllThingsD blog has finally posted an almost 45-minute interview with News Corp. and MySpace&#8217;s new digital intelligentsia from its D7 conference last month, namely chief digital officer Jon Miller and MySpace chief Owen Van Natta; I believe it is their first big, public appearance since being named to their posts.

		<description><![CDATA[A year ago, the few of us who raised the question of whether The New York Times Company might be in financial difficulty were dismissed as dwellers in the lowly &#8220;echo chamber of the blogosphere.&#8221; *
That was okay; it goes with the territory, so to speak, even though there were hard numbers at the center [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While being in the print business isn&#8217;t something I&#8217;d wish on many these days, perversely, the short-term should be better for celebrity magazines than it has been, courtesy of the death of Michael Jackson. The question is what approach these magazines, running from the relatively respectable People to the down-and-dirty Star, will take in monetizing [...]]]></description>
