On behalf of these intrepid people in Tunisia, Egypt and other countries, Swiss Advertising SW is therefore naming Emna Ben Jemaa as Communicator of the Month. 33-year-old Ben Jemaa is a lecturer at the private Time University in Tunis, Tunisia, and works as a journalist. In blogs, on Facebook and on Twitter, she and other fellow campaigners have done what has now triggered the beginning of a new chapter in (democratic) history: she has communicated. History is currently being written once again - primarily thanks to modern means of communication and because there are courageous people who obtain information, pass on messages and create knowledge, according to a SW press release. And further: "Without being able to make a political judgment or assessment: It is simply tremendous what is currently happening thanks to modern means of communication, and what we can experience thanks to communication. We are reminded of the invention of the printing press and what it ultimately triggered: enlightenment, reformation, democracy. What would not have been possible back then without books is inconceivable today without the Internet, cell phones, etc. But it takes courageous people like Martin Luther to use the means of communication to break power. Power that can only "work" through censorship. Through censorship of information. Neither the "Inquisition" nor other dictatorships were able to maintain their power in the long term as soon as knowledge and information became freely available."
 

Google is adding a snowmobile to its Street View vehicles in Switzerland. Street View will soon also cover Swiss ski resorts. To this end, Switzerland Tourism and Google are calling on the Swiss population to vote for the most popular ski resort in Switzerland. In the "Street View Piste Prize", the Swiss population can choose their favorite ski resort from 30 destinations until 14 February and decide which ski resort will be photographed first by the snowmobile. Switzerland Tourism is giving away 3 overnight stays for two people and a 3-day pass for the prize-winning ski resort.

The fact that Street View also shows remote or special places is an advantage for Switzerland, says Thomas Winkler, member of the Executive Board of Switzerland Tourism: The first time a snowmobile was photographed for the 2010 Winter Olympics and enabled a virtual Olympic slope descent on Google Maps in the Canadian ski resort of Whistler.

The content for the newspaper, which was specially developed for the iPad, is provided by an editorial team of around 120 people. It breaks with previous conventions in the media industry, if only because iPad manufacturer Apple is heavily involved and wants a share of the cake. In return, the high costs for printing and distribution that arise with a print newspaper are eliminated.

The local radio stations are setting up an Internet platform on which musicians, record labels and distributors can upload their music directly. In this way, they want to avoid the high fees charged by the industry giants. These charge fees of around CHF 4,000 per year, which is beyond the budget of non-commercial local radio stations.18 Swiss local radio stations are involved in the platform. The Swiss local radio stations in the Unikom association were no longer supplied by the four major labels after the association refused to use the expensive Music Promotion Network MPN. They received neither music nor information. Interviews with artists from the respective companies were also refused.
However, in order to continue to provide free access to the music - which they are actually promoting - Unikom radios are now expanding the existing, user-generated platform Openbroadcast.ch into an open and neutral hub, as detailed in a press release on Wednesday. Musicians, record labels and distributors can now supply 18 radio stations with their sound online free of charge. The deal is also interesting for them, especially as the major labels charge musicians 100 francs per song for uploading to their own platform MPN, according to Unikom. In addition, the 18 local stations have a combined audience of around half a million listeners.
