Steve Rubel outlines what he calls the “Continental Content Divide” that has emerged among media companies: Some publishers see social networking as their primary path to growth.

Ecuador’s decision to grant asylum to Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks wanted in Sweden for questioning over claims of rape and sexual molestation, has put the country in a political standoff with Britain, where he is holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy. But the confusion in London has, in fact, little if anything […]
