...With the mergers of multimedia companies inevitably comes the reduction in reporting sources. Good journalism thrives on the competition between news organizations. With fewer media sources, the number of independent eyes covering a given story declines. Also, the rise of large media conglomerates creates disincentives for reporters to cover stories that could be potentially harmful to the parent company. Even if these subsidiaries were to report on the drawbacks and problems with their parent companies, definite doubts concerning their objectivity arise...
...asked young churchgoers to stay after Mass and do aerobics, to prevent a crush at the door. His evangelical preaching style attracted so many worshippers that he had to move services to an old glass factory (capacity: 40,000) in a suburb of Sao Paolo. Now he's a multimedia sensation. He has sold nearly 5 million CDs and has 28 weekly radio shows. Thanks in part to the priest's rock-star popularity, more Brazilians are going to Mass: weekly attendance rose to 12% last year, up from 4% in 1997. "I do not use communication to denounce...

Audio may rely on a high-quality recording to recreate the dynamic of a live performance, but it often fails to match the intensity of group's multimedia theatrics. The album opens with the power of ringing guitars and tight percussion assaults which combine to form an exciting, tension-filled narrative. Hollow echoes and vivid peaks evoke images of creation and destruction, and tracks like "Rods and Cones" and "Drumbone" will appeal to the electronic sensibilities of any Lansdowne Street...
...Much more clubhouse than gallery, Zeitgeist provides all counter-cultural necessities: vegetarian potluck dinners on Mondays, poetry readings on Mondays, figure drawing on Wednesdays, jazz on Thursdays and improvisational jazz on Fridays. The director says that he likes multimedia art and installations, preferably "non-traditional" and "politically involved." Currently showing are garish, clumsy paintings by David Grossack and Michael Hallaren. A billboard on the side of the Harvest Co-op in Central Square ("The Zeitgeist Artboard: Gallery of the People's Republic of Cambridge") offers additional exhibition space for local artists...
