Jaded teens find their heroes on YouTube not in Hollywood | Rostra Consulting

https://rostraconsulting.wordpress.com/2014/08/07/jaded-teens-find-their-heroes-on-youtube-not-in-hollywood

August 7, 2014. Jaded teens find their heroes on YouTube not in Hollywood. I’m weirdly gratified to find that teens and millennials surveyed by Variety say they have more time for cool YouTube commentators than the spangly but ultimately quite dull stars of Hollywood. It’s a sign of the times for sure. Social media is creating a parallel universe that media and movie moguls can’t control. Smosh – more popular than Hollywood A-listers.

Walgreens – Boots deal not a tax ruse | Rostra Consulting

https://rostraconsulting.wordpress.com/2014/08/06/walgreens-boots-deal-not-a-tax-ruse

August 6, 2014. Walgreens – Boots deal not a tax ruse. Boots the chemist has been snapped up by US retailer Walgreens. There had been some comment that the objective was for Walgreens to relocate out of the US on tax grounds – but the way this deal is structured, that’s not apparently possible. The non-US company being acquired, in this case Boots, would need to own at least 20% of the merged company – which it doesn’t in this instance. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.

July 22, 2014. Five ways social media is changing the world – dramatically. Social media is radically altering the way global audiences look at any number of issues in the political, economic or entertainment spheres. Here’s five examples:. Number One: US audiences – meet the Palestinians. Reported, this has brought Palestinian narratives into American homes and forced TV networks like NBC and ABC to report two sides to this story. Number Two: Hashtags can be hijacked. Number Three: Pop charts go digital.

Jaded teens find their heroes on YouTube not in Hollywood. Smosh – more popular than Hollywood A-listers.

July 23, 2014. Banking is still a poker game. Sixteenth century building in central Porto bricked up and allowed to collapse.

Pussy Riot – freed by social media? | Rostra Consulting

https://rostraconsulting.wordpress.com/2013/12/24/pussy-riot-freed-by-social-media

December 24, 2013. Pussy Riot – freed by social media? Much is made of the celebrity support they received – Paul McCartney penning letters to Moscow. Madonna making a public statement on her website and echoing it to her 14 million followers on Facebook. But there was also thousands of bloggers, journalists and politicians keeping up a relentless tide of pressure on the Russians. Pussy Riot are out of jail and the Twitterati can give themselves a well-deserved pat on the back for playing a central role.

July 22, 2014. Cameron calls for an end to FGM. Parents of children who undergo female genital mutilation will face prosecution as David Cameron pledged today to end FGM in a generation. And it’s not before time as thousands of women in this country have undergone the procedure either within the UK (yes, it does happen here) or very often whisked off abroad.
