Arbitron's flawed ratings hurt minority radio
By Ceril Shagrin and Charles M. Warfield Jr. - 10/01/09 05:40 PM ET

Even in an age of media fragmentation, free, over-the-air radio remains a
vital source of news, information and entertainment for millions of
Americans. Arbitron, the company that provides radio ratings data, plays a
critical role. Its data are used to determine the price broadcasters fetch
for advertising, which directly impacts the content that is available on the
dial. Arbitron's responsibility is heightened by the fact that it is the
dominant radio ratings firm and is unregulated by government.
Recently, Arbitron has introduced a new rating system called the Portable
People Meter (PPM) that requires participants to carry a cell phone-sized
device that picks up radio signals. Since its introduction, minority
broadcasters have demonstrated that this system undercounts African American
and Hispanic listeners. Recognizing the public interest at stake, both
Congress and the Federal Communications Commission launched investigations.

This past week, the House Committee for Oversight and Government Reform,
under the leadership of Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.), released information
that demonstrates the depth of the problem.

The Media Ratings Council (MRC), the independent industry body that
accredits media ratings systems, turned over its audits of the PPM system to
the oversight committee under subpoena. The committee put out a statement to
inform the public of the serious flaws in the PPM system that these audits
reveal.

According to the statement put out by the committee, the MRC's documents
indicated "persistent problems" with Arbitron's minority sample audiences.
For example, the committee reported that subpoenaed documents showed that a
relatively small subset of individuals is providing usable data. In New York
City, Arbitron recruited a sample audience of 5,400 people. But only 2,700
persons — half of the sample — provided data. The committee reports that
"the radio listening habits of over four million ethnic minorities are
represented by only 500 Arbitron recruits." This paltry sampling is being
repeated in cities nationwide, impacting the content available to tens of
millions of Americans. This is only one example of the concerns raised by
the commission.

It is hard to overstate the magnitude of Arbitron's dereliction of duty.
Americans are now painfully aware of the price paid when financial ratings
agencies fail to provide accurate information for the investment world.
Arbitron plays just as important a role in the media world. It is no
exaggeration to say that unless Arbitron acts in a principled fashion, it
has the power to upend the radio marketplace.

That is exactly what is happening today. Since the rollout of the PPM
system, Spanish-language and urban-formatted radio stations have seen their
ratings plummet. The industry faces the real possibility that these stations
will go under and the dial will become even more homogeneous — all because
the data that drive the system are simply wrong.

This scathing congressional report should have provided Arbitron with a
wake-up call.

Instead, it seems Arbitron is intent on hitting the snooze button.
Arbitron's response lashes out at the committee for reaching "erroneous
conclusions." The allegation is farcical.

Indeed, the committee offered no conclusions — it simply reported the facts
it had uncovered in the MRC documents.

Moreover, Arbitron claimed that it has been "open and forthcoming" with
Congress. If so, why did the committee have to subpoena the MRC records?
Surely, Arbitron could have turned them over voluntarily. The only
conclusion is that Arbitron knew those documents contained irrefutable
evidence that the PPM system is flawed.
It is time for Arbitron to stop playing games. A critical part of our
nation's media and cultural landscape is at stake. Millions of Americans are
counting on them to get this right, so that they don't lose the radio
content upon which they rely. It is not too much to ask the ratings provider
to deliver reliable data. It is simply a question of doing its job. That is
a message Arbitron must heed.

[creative-radio] Zambia: Catholic Community Radio stations

 

VATICAN CITY, OCT. 12, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Here are the English-language
summaries provided by the Vatican press office of the interventions given
today at the Eleventh General Congregation of the Second Special Assembly
for Africa of the Synod of Bishops.

* * *

H. Exc. Mons. George Cosmas Zumaire LUNGU, Bishop of Chipata, President of
the Episcopal Conference (ZAMBIA)

[...]

We have also been blessed in the area of social communications where we
now have Catholic Community Radio stations in all but one of our ten
dioceses. The radio stations are playing a big role in our evangelizing
mission, such as the promotion of good governance and civic education.
Rural communities, where illiteracy is very high, are now finding their
voice, freely articulating their faith on radio on matters of justice in
their own communities. Most of our radio stations also routinely make
space for non-Catholics.

CAMEROUN : UNE RADIO PRIVÉE DE YAOUNDÉ FERMÉE

http://tinyurl.com/yeojmq6

Le ministère camerounais de la Communication a décidé d'interdire la
diffusion de la station de radio "Le Démenti FM" émettant à Yaoundé. L'acte
de mise de scellés parle de « Piraterie de fréquence, exercice illégal de la
profession et atteinte grave et répétée à la législature sur la
communication sociale ». Tout comme "Sky One radio", fermée en août dernier,
il est reproché à la radio "Le Démenti FM" de s'être illustrée à travers un
programme qui encourageait la dénonciation à l'encontre de hauts
responsables du pays.

GABON : LES MÉDIAS GABONAIS SOUS PRESSION

http://tinyurl.com/yk3kn58

L'interpellation patron de l'unique quotidien du pays, L'Union, confirme les
menaces qui pèsent sur la presse gabonaise. Albert Yangari, par ailleurs
ancien directeur du cabinet privé d'Omar Bongo Ondimba, a été conduit, le 25
septembre, au quartier général des services de renseignements de l'armée et
interrogé avant d'être relâché. Il a dû s'expliquer sur une série de
reportages, intitulée « Je reviens de Port-Gentil », traitant des troubles
post-électoraux qui ont embrasé la capitale économique. Il estimé à une
vingtaine le nombre de personnes tuées à Port-Gentil, contrairement au bilan
officiel qui fait état de trois décès. Le rédacteur de l'article dit avoir
reçu des menaces de mort.

GUINÉE : LA PRESSE DANS LE VISEUR DES MILITAIRES

http://tinyurl.com/yhstw23

"Si tu passes la porte, je te coupe la langue", "La prochaine fois, quand il
y aura des événements, on saura descendre pour te trouver", "On te connaît,
on te réglera ton compte". C'est en ces termes que les militaires guinéens
s'adressent actuellement aux journalistes de Conakry. Dix jours après la
répression sanglante du 28 septembre, Reporters sans frontières dénonce un
environnement nauséabond et appelle les médiateurs du conflit à protéger les
professionnels des médias.

RD CONGO : LES JOURNALISTES MANIFESTENT CONTRE LES ASSASSINATS ET LES
MENACES DE MORT

http://tinyurl.com/yzf7avu

Des centaines de journalistes congolais ont organisé le 8 octobre des
marches dans plusieurs villes de la République Démocratique du Congo pour
protester contre le mutisme de la justice et réclamer plus de protection de
la part de l'autorité publique dans l'exercice de leur profession. Les
professionnels de médias en RDC protestent notamment contre les menaces de
mort proférées au mois de septembre dernier contre trois femmes journalistes
de Bukavu, alors que trois autres journalistes ont été tués en moins de deux
ans dans cette ville de l'Est de la RDC en proie à l'insécurité depuis une
dizaine d'années.

SÉNÉGAL : L'ENQUÊTE SUR L'ATTAQUE CONTRE UN JOURNAL COINCE

http://tinyurl.com/yccmcxl

Depuis l'attaque des locaux du groupe de presse Walfadjri, le 25 septembre,
aucune arrestations n'a été enregistré. Pourtant, l'enquête menée par la
Division des investigations criminelles (Dic) avait permis d'identifier des
coupables parmi les fidèles d'un chef religieux, outrés par des informations
diffusées par la télévision de ce groupe de presse. Selon des sources
proches du dossier, des personnes haut placées ont bloqué la procédure.
Pourtant juste après le forfait, le ministère de la Justice avait promis que
toute la lumière serait faite sur cette affaire.

[creative-radio] Five ways news sites can generate links

 

Five ways news sites can generate links

News organisations are trying to regulate use of their content and
encourage visitors to pay for their news. But most simultaneously realise
they need Google and other search engines to rank their sites in order to
have a significant chance at earning revenue online.

[excerpt]

http://www.ejc.net/magazine/article/five_ways_news_sites_can_generate_links/

Share buttons on The Wall Street Journal's website illustrate the paradox.
Even as News Corpplans to begin charging mobile readers re-raises
paywalls, its articles are surrounded by "share" buttons for Facebook,
Twitter, Digg and many more.

Why? Incoming links are crucial to search engine rankings. To search
engines, inbound links are similar to votes, showing that others feel
strongly enough about the page to link to it, indicating that it is worthy
of high rankings.
Newspapers and other news organisations already have an upper hand when it
comes to earning incoming links. Their brand and reputation prompt
linking. But with so many outlets competing for the same audience and many
online publications finding credibility with their audience, simply being
a reputable source is no longer enough.

How can news organisations get more incoming links in this increasingly
competitive climate? Here are five suggestions from a blogger and someone
who links to news sites every day.
