“In an age of social media and content being key, it's important to change the mold where you have $100,000 to $150,000 for one video. I hired some guys that are young, just out of college, and we used some new, far-less-expensive cameras and technology to make videos.” ImportantAgeYoungUsedGuySocialTechnologyMediaCollegeKeysCamerasSocial MediaVideoExpensiveMold Author:Ronnie Dunn

“The key question facing those of us working in the media (old and new) is whether we embrace and adapt to the radical changes brought about by the Internet or pretend that we can somehow hop into a journalistic Way Back Machine and return to a past that no longer exists and can't be resurrected. There is no question that, as the industry moves forward and we figure out the new rules of the road, there will be - and needs to be - a great deal of experimentation with new revenue models.” WayNeedsPastMovingDealsMediaFiguresKeysIndustryReturnInternetModelsMachinesEmbraceMoving ForwardRadicalHopsRevenueExperimentationJournalisticRadical ChangeOld And New Author:Arianna Huffington
“The West is supporting, even financing the right-wing media, it is financing 'the opposition', encourages capital flight of billions of dollars, works closely with the local 'elites' to create 'deficits', 'uncertainty' and despair. It creates corruption scandals, and it even supports fake 'left' anti-government movements. And of course it is training and corrupting some key military cadres.” GovernmentCoursesLeftSupportMediaMilitaryMovementKeysDespairTrainingDollarsWingsWestCorruptionBillionsLocalsFlightUncertaintyFakeOppositionElitesScandalDeficitRight WingFinancingAnti GovernmentCadre Author:Andre Vltchek
“We have a media that goes along with the government by parroting phrases intended to provoke a certain emotional response - for example, "national security." Everyone says "national security" to the point that we now must use the term "national security." But it is not national security that they're concerned with; it is state security. And that's a key distinction.” StatesUseGovernmentCertainTermSecurityMediaExampleEmotionalKeysConcernedResponsePhrasesDistinctionProvokingNational SecurityEmotional Response Author:Edward Snowden
