...newspapers has dipped 2.3% since February, distribution of Metro, Associated's morning London giveaway, has risen almost 10% to 549,000 copies a day. "We're keen to attract the urbanite audience on their way home," says Steve Auckland, head of Associated Newspapers' Free Newspaper Division. So, too, is Rupert Murdoch. His News Corp. already publishes the storied Times and tabloid Sun newspapers, but this week, it will also distribute thelondonpaper, with an opening print run and lighthearted content similar to London Lite's. Their difference? "We're building a genuine brand, a genuine newspaper," says an agitated News Corp...
...there were just 10.7 million Americans age 80 and older. By 2030 there were nearly 18 million--1 out of every 20 people. Continued advances in medical science meant that more and more people were living as long as a century--good news for the likes of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who celebrated his 100th birthday in 2031. But the rising proportion of the population in retirement imposed an ever higher tax burden on those still working. It also placed a sustained strain on the U.S. balance of payments, as the country consistently imported more than it exported, financing...
...young, gay Greek-Australian self-destructing over one nihilistic night, Head On was powered by an artistic urgency-a whirling dervish of emotion, with some audiences complaining of motion sickness.

Director Robert Greenwald has produced more than 50 TV movies and a handful of feature films during his 30-year showbiz career. But he's best known now as the rabble-rouser behind politically charged attacks on Rupert Murdoch's Fox News (Outfoxed), big-box department stores (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price) and now the mercenary and munitions companies getting rich off of U.S. Defense Department contracts. Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers will open the same innovative way Greenwald's previous documentaries have screened - in a select few theaters starting September 8th, a DVD release...
...over 7,000 screenings in one week alone where people not only saw the film but were asked to take action: write a letter, make a phone call, contact a politician about pending legislation or join an activist group. With the Fox documentary, the goal wasn't to change Rupert Murdoch into a flaming left-winger: that's not going to happen. We wanted to provide evidence for the media, so when they analyzed and wrote about Fox News they could show it's not a news organization like most others...
