☆ Publicis Raises 2022 Organic-Growth Guidance Again
  + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( Megan Graham | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +4 min
Organic growth refers to the change in net revenue excluding the impacts of acquisitions, disposals and currency fluctuations. Publicis and its rival companies had previously increased their expectations for growth in 2022, despite global factors including inflation and the consequences of the war in Ukraine. Chief Executive Arthur Sadoun said the company hasn’t seen a material impact from clients dealing with macroeconomic challenges. Publicis CEO Arthur Sadoun Photo: Publicis Groupe“All of our clients are actually confronted with one, two, three or four major challenges, like inflation, like the supply shortage, like the war in Ukraine,” Mr. Sadoun said. Publicis said its organic revenue grew 10.3% in the third quarter from a year earlier.
☆ I wrote a book while working full time—5 habits that make me 'super productive'
  + stars: | 2022-10-11 | by ( Julia Boorstin | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
I find it thrilling to race between reporting breaking news, interviews, phone calls with sources and brainstorming sessions with my colleagues. But my career in the fast-paced world of TV meant I also knew that I could focus and write incredibly quickly. Listening to my body and brain about what type of work feels most efficient helps me make the most of my time. For big projects, set lots of smaller deadlinesThe idea of having over a year to write a book seemed overwhelming — so much to do over such a long time. So I broke it down: I set deadlines of when I would deliver a few chapters at a time to my editor.
☆ 'Avatar' re-release shows franchise's overseas strength while pulling in $10 million domestically
  + stars: | 2022-09-25 | by ( Sarah Whitten | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Disney is expected to snare $30 million in ticket sales globally from its theatrical re-release of 2009's "Avatar." While domestic ticket sales, which will reach $10 million, according to projections, are in-line with analysts' projections, it's the international tally of $20 million that has box office analysts buzzing. "Avatar: The Way of Water," the first of four sequels to the original film, is slated for release in December. There's clearly still audience interest for "Avatar," box office analysts agreed after seeing Sunday's projected figures. However, it's still up in the air as to whether that interest will translate to ticket sales in December, particularly for 3D showings.
☆ 'The Woman King' shows why the box office needs more mid-budget movies
  + stars: | 2022-09-25 | by ( Sarah Whitten | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
"The Woman King" held firm at the box office during its second weekend in theaters. "Proof that ''The Woman King' is in it for the long haul is reflected in its 42% second-weekend drop," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. Lower-budget films like this don't make explosive box office numbers but provide much-needed supplementary revenue to cinemas. While big-budget franchise films dominate the box office charts, films with small-to-mid budgets are equally important to the theatrical ecosystem. Without them, the domestic box office loses out on billions in ticket revenue.
☆ 'Avatar' returns to theaters as Disney tries to hype audiences for its long-delayed sequel
  + stars: | 2022-09-22 | by ( Sarah Whitten | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Bringing the highest-grossing film of all time back to theaters has two purposes for Disney: drum up excitement for "The Way of Water" and fill a vacant spot on the theatrical calendar. The rerelease of the original film is a sort of litmus test for whether audiences still want to visit its eco-conscious science fiction world. But it never captured the cultural relevance that Star Wars or the Marvel Cinematic Universe – both also owned by Disney – have enjoyed. "Avatar" captivated audiences more than a decade ago, in part because of the technology that Cameron helped develop to film and animate the movie. Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, "Avatar: The Way of Water" tells the story of the Sully family.
☆ 'Serial' put global attention on Adnan Syed. Is that still possible in today's crowded podcast market?
  + stars: | 2022-09-20 | by ( Https | Media-Cldnry.S-Nbcnews.Com Image Upload Newscms | Daniel Arkin | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +7 min
Eight years after the show’s debut, the podcast circuit across all storytelling genres has never been more crowded or competitive. But in today’s oversaturated market, could any one show prove to be as singularly culture-shaping — influential enough to help free an imprisoned person? “I remember a time when I could keep up on new podcast series, but nowadays that seems virtually impossible,” he added. Cindy Ord / Getty Images file“Serial” is not the only podcast to have helped put more focus on a possible miscarriage of justice. In the years since, the stylistic tropes of true-crime podcasting have become all too easy to satirize.
☆ ‘The Woman King’ poised for big box-office run after surprisingly strong opening weekend
  + stars: | 2022-09-20 | by ( ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +2 min
During a lull in the movie calendar, Gina Prince-Bythewood’s “The Woman King” is generating the kind of buzz — and ticket sales — that the box office desperately needs. ″‘The Woman King’ opened on the high end of our expectations and looks poised for a very healthy theatrical run thanks to strong word of mouth,” said Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at BoxOffice.com. Overall ticket sales were driven predominantly by older female viewers, a demographic that has been slower to return to cinemas coming out of the Covid pandemic. Additionally, Black audiences accounted for 56% of all opening weekend ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada. “Much like ‘Black Panther,’ ‘The Woman King’ demonstrates that positive, culturally based stories can resonate strongly among all audiences,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore.

☆ Fact Check-Recommendation for social media ID requirements in Australia is from 2021 and has not been implemented
  + stars: | 2021-01-05 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Australia has not implemented “social credit” to access social media platforms, contrary to claims online. Social media users making this claim misrepresent a broadcast that dates to April 2021 about a proposal made by a parliamentary committee looking to reduce “technology-facilitated abuse”. Reuters found no evidence that the recommendation, which proposed requiring a form of identification in order to open a social media account, has been implemented. The Department for Social Services and the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. The circulating news video dates to April 2021 and describes a proposal by a committee of the Australian parliament looking into domestic and sexual abuse to require identification to access social media.
