Nevertheless, Positive Signs Are Emerging, Such As Efforts To Nevertheless, positive signs are emerging, such as efforts to professionalize certain media (written as well as broadcast), the gradual awakening of the state media, and the appearance of journalism and communication schools. TOGO 410 MEDIA SUSTAINABILITY INDEX 2012 INTRODUCTION OVERALL SCORE: 1.60 TOGO The panel shed new light on the difficulties, and also the progress, of the Togolese press, whose legitimate ambition is to participate, in its own way, in the effort of national development and the strengthening of democracy. Indeed, despite the existence of pioneering legal texts, the Togolese press remains hindered by Tits initial failings during the early 1990s: extreme politicization of the media, poor information collection and processing practices, amateurism and dubious business practices in media management, and lack of state aid. Nevertheless, positive signs are emerging, such as efforts to professionalize certain media (written as well as broadcast), the gradual awakening of the state media, and the appearance of journalism and communication schools. Development of young democracies cannot be achieved without a free, independent, responsible, and well-managed press. If in the 1990s the liberalization of the press was, among other things, granted under popular pressure, the government would be well advised today to put the Togolese press on the track toward professionalization in appropriate ways, such as substantial increases in state aid to the media, rebates on the cost of materials and electronic equipment, grants for journalism schools, and facilitation of an organizational structure of the advertising industry. While there is certainly impetus for the growth of the Togolese media, 2012 saw an almost across-the-board regression in each objective, save for its supporting institutions, which the panel rated as having experienced modest improvement. For all the positive signs that can be discerned, it must be said that the overarching trend was negative, with the Togolese media requiring much work to begin the long road to sustainability.

  • 2010 Annual Forecast Dinner Featuring David Tice and Art Hogan
    2010 Annual Forecast Dinner Featuring David Tice and Art Hogan David W. Tice, Federated’s chief portfolio strategist for bear markets, has been at the forefront of bear market investing for more than 20 years. Mr. Tice has long taken the role of a Cassandra to warn investors about the dangers of investing near the end of a secular bull market and has debated nearly every bullish Wall Street strategist. He gained national recognition through articles he wrote for Barron's and as the subject of numerous business journal and television interviews beginning at the time when he was among just a handful of courageous people who dared to short the market. Today he shares his views of the market and bear market investing approaches with both Federated investment personnel and clients alike. Prior to his career as an investment manager and strategist, Mr. Tice held financial analyst positions with Atlantic Richfield Company and ENSERCH Corporation, a diversified energy company. He then joined Concorde Financial Corporation where he served as director of investments and was responsible for launching an equity mutual fund. He launched his firm, David W. Tice & Associates, LLC in 1988 to provide clients with hedging or sell discipline perspectives and recommendations through his "Behind the Numbers" publication and research service. This effort formed the origins of Federated Prudent Bear Fund in 1995 and Federated Prudent Global Income Fund in 2000. Mr. Tice holds an undergraduate degree in accounting as well as an MBA from Texas Christian University. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst. Arthur R.

INTRODUCTION Chances are, by the time you’re finished reading this introduction, you will have gotten at least one notification. Email, chat, social media, weather updates, news alerts—all of these things are competing for your time and attention. With so many distractions, it’s no wonder people’s average attention span has been steadily decreasing over the years. As of 2015, it was 8.25 seconds: less than that of a goldfish. As a result of this stif competition for consumer attention, streaming media content providers have to work harder than ever to stand out from the crowd. Today, the biggest diferentiator for content providers across industries is the user experience (UX) their platform provides. Three metrics that most influence the UX of streaming media content are: • End-to-end latency: The time between video or audio being captured by a camera, microphone or other source, and that same audio or video being played back on a user’s device.
