Speculation surrounding the new SRG CEO centers around three candidates: The great unknown, of whom nothing at all is known, Publigroupe boss Hans-Peter Rohner and Filippo Leutenegger, former editor-in-chief of SF DRS and media politician. The latter made some pithy comments about SRG before the selection process. According to the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper on Saturday, Leutenegger does not think much of a fee increase to restructure the finances. On the other hand, saving money is at the top of his list of priorities. An expansion of the program, which would entail additional costs, would not be in his interest. On the other hand, he told Klartext that language balance in the full program is "SRG's most important raison d'être". As Leutenegger explained at the request of the Tages-Anzeiger, he still stands by his statements before the selection procedure.

Jörg Abderhalden is the wrestling king of 1998, 2004 and 2007 and is regarded as one of the best wrestlers of all time. It would take a superhumanly strong opponent to put him on his back. Only Lovely, the leading actress in the Swiss milk producers' long-running campaign, can do it.
The motif promotes the nutritional message "Milk. Your natural fitness program." The daily fitness eating program is three portions of milk and dairy products per day: 1 glass of milk, 1 yoghurt and 1 piece of cheese.
The motif is used in the context of wrestling events.

The shares sold, which belong to the subsidiary Axel Springer Financial Media, will be taken over by the current management, which will continue the business, and by the remaining shareholders. The approximately 75 percent share in the financial community Wallstreet Online will be taken over by the founder and former board member, André Kolbinger. This writes New-business.de on Friday. The share of 75.1 per cent in the fund mediator Wallstreet on-line Capital acquire member of the board René Krüger as well as Prokurist Ewald Brunen in the course of a management Buy out. A 33.3 percent stake in Zertifikate Journal, a service provider for certificates and structured financial products, is taken over by the two previous board members and founders Christian W. Röhl and Werner H. Heussinger.

The concept comes from Ina Küper, who completed her traineeship at Braut&Bräutigam magazine at the beginning of 2009. Erotica for young women, without fuss and awkward descriptions, but humorous and refreshing, as Küper summarizes her idea. Alley Cat is like an intimate conversation with your best friend, according to the publisher, and in this way obviously taps into the "Sex and the City" fad with the stray cat.
The introduction to the magazine "Vorspiel" is intended to provide short news items, while "Im Schlafzimmer" focuses on sex and eroticism. There are also celebrity stories, beauty questions - and answers, as well as culture and travel tips. You will also find "Hot washboard bellies" and "Bad girls". Burda's stray cat also already has a web address: Alley-cat.de. So far, however, there is no content there.
The first issue will hit the newsstands with 150,000 copies under the wing of Henning Ecker's Burda Style Group. However, like the other titles in Burda's latest magazine offensive, Alley Cat must first prove itself before the editorial team is allowed to produce new issues. The magazine is sold for 3 euros per issue.

According to the official news agency Xinhua, seven million people in Xinjiang use the internet. Internet services have been fully restored, the government of the autonomous region announced on Friday.
At the beginning of July, security forces crushed a peaceful demonstration by Uyghurs in the Muslim-majority region in the northwest of the country. According to the authorities, almost 200 people were killed in the ensuing clashes between members of the Muslim minority and Han Chinese, most of them Han Chinese. As a result, the authorities severely restricted communication channels: E-
Mail and Internet services were switched off and telephone calls were restricted to the region.
Even under normal circumstances, there is strict internet censorship in China. The almost 400 million users in the communist country are not allowed to access many foreign sites such as the Facebook internet network and the YouTube video portal.

Two different commercials are now running in 140 cinemas in Berlin. The commercials show various situations in which users search for answers with the help of Google. The various search applications are demonstrated, according to Horizont.net. In the first commercial, for example, a boy wants to know whether the man in the moon actually exists. The two cinema spots and a further video can now also be seen on YouTube.
The Hamburg agency Kolle Rebbe is responsible for the creation, while Infected took care of the production.
Google had already used a TV commercial for the first time last year. However, this film for the Chrome browser was only shown on pay TV and on a cable channel in the USA.

What is happiness? What is injustice? Where do I come from? Children have given pragmatic answers to these questions in video contributions. The best contributions have now been selected and are available immediately at: www.wireltern.ch.
This is the first time the magazine has published web content with children. The aim of this competition was to herald an expansion of the "Wir Eltern" website. Readers are to be increasingly involved with votes and their own content such as pictures and videos on the website.

The former Spiegel editor-in-chief said in an interview that the high level of attention had certainly damaged the project. WAZ and Axel Springer Verlag had previously announced their withdrawal from the jointly planned project, citing the economic situation as the reason.
Just a few days ago, rumors emerged that Dirk Ippen's newspaper group, publisher of the Münchner Merkur and the Hessische/Niedersächsische Allgemeine, will take a 20 percent stake in the property. This was reported by Horizont.net on Friday. The WAZ Group should also hold 20 percent, Springer 52 percent and Aust 8 percent. In a statement from Springer and WAZ, it is said that Aust now wants to continue the project with other partners. Ippen could play an important role here.

The new newspaper has become better and has also improved the quality of its competitor, the Berner Zeitung. This is the conclusion of the committee after almost 200 issues of the new Bund. Should circumstances require it, the committee could be reactivated at any time, according to a communiqué issued on Friday.
Exactly one year ago, on May 14, 2009, Tamedia decided not to merge the Bund with the BZ, but to continue publishing it as an independent title. However, the traditional newspaper now cooperates closely with the Tages-Anzeiger, from which it benefits on a daily basis, according to the rescue committee. The tenor is that the new Bund is even better than the old one. In addition, the greater Bern area will retain two journalistic voices. Mutual control and competition with the BZ have had a positive effect.
The "Save the Confederation" committee has 16,500 members. Hundreds of them donated around CHF 33,000 in the winter of 2008/09, enabling a campaign against the discontinuation of the Confederation.

Thür lodged his complaint against the BAZ because of the article entitled "Cloudy view of Google's Street View/Criticism of the new online service is increasingly turning into a data protection farce". The topic was possible inconsistencies between Street View and the applicable data protection guidelines, which had long been pointed out by cantonal data protection officers, among others. Thür was accused of behaving strangely passively for a long time. Because the article did not take into account information available from Thür, the Press Council partially upheld a complaint, as the committee announced on Friday.
The BAZ wrote a series of articles on this topic. In one of them, the Association of Swiss Data Protection Officers (Privatim) criticized the anonymization measures taken by Google and Thür's attitude. As Thür was on vacation when this article was published, he requested the opportunity to comment on the allegations upon his return. He suggested that the newspaper publish a clarification he had already written. A few days later, an interview with Thür appeared in the BAZ. And a week later, the accusations of passivity were leveled against Thür, whereupon he first made representations to the editor-in-chief and, after a negative response, to the Press Council.
The Presidium of the Press Council has now partially upheld the complaint. BAZ should have taken available information into account in the article and referred to the denial of the Federal Data Protection Commissioner, which should have been included in the report "in an appropriate manner". However, BAZ had not violated the other guidelines.
