Against all odds, Hispanic print ad revenues increase
Portada
Spanish-language media was the big exception in the Q2 2013 Kantar advertising expenditures figures, being the only media that substantially grew compared to the same period of 2012. Interestingly the Kantar figures also included a 1.4 percent increase in Spanish-language newspaper advertising.

Google shakes it up with Chromecast
USA Today
Google Chromecast is a USB device or "dongle" that plugs directly into any HDTV so that you can wirelessly play video and music from the Internet on a big screen.

Why the New York Times is moving on from the Herald Tribune
The Guardian
The change is the logical consequence of the paper being wholly owned by the New York Times and the company's strategy in these digital days to broaden the international appeal of the core title.
