	Discussion About the Watchdog Conferences
		As most of you know, the Nieman Watchdog Project was the inspiration of Murrey Marder, a 1950 Nieman Fellow who gave his life savings to try to reinvigorate the media's sense of responsibility under the First Amendment to keep tabs on those who wield power, especially government, but also on business and nonprofit organizations.
		The first was that there was a strong feeling that the underlying strength of watchdog reporting comes hard-driving reporters, but that they cannot function effectively without a commitment from management, meaning editors and publishers.
		She was a hell of a news director for a local television station.

	Watchdog Virus -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		A watchdog timer is a computer hardware timing device that triggers a system reset if the main program, due to some fault condition, such as a hang, neglects to regularly service the watchdog (writing a 'service pulse' to it).
		The most common use of watchdog timers is in embedded systems, where this specialized timer is often a built-in unit of a microcontroller.
		Watchdog timers may also trigger control systems to move into a safety state, such as turning off motors, high-voltage electrical outputs, and other potentially dangerous subsystems until the fault is cleared.

	Watchdog hits U.K. TV merger - Apr. 3, 2000
		LONDON (CNNfn) - Britain's television watchdog ruled Monday that the impending $12.6 billion merger of broadcasters Carlton and United News and Media would breach existing laws on media ownership, but held out some hope for the deal by indicating the rules could be changed.
		The Independent Television Commission, regulator of commercial television in Britain, said in a statement the Carlton-United merger would not "fit within the terms of current policy and legislation." But the ITC added that modified legislation could allow the merger to proceed.
		The current rules have established a 25 percent ceiling, but the merger would require that limit to be raised to at least 35 percent.

	Gotcha! 'Dateline' Paves a Walk of Shame for Online Predators - New York Times
		Since the first installment of "To Catch a Predator" on "Dateline" in 2004, all kinds of men have fallen into the trap, including a rabbi from Potomac, Md., who thought he was going to have sex with a teenage boy.
		Many suspects are passive and astonishingly candid when confronted: a testimony, perhaps, to the hypnotic powers of a television camera.
		Television entrapment isn't new: the "Dateline" segments echo Mike Wallace's hidden-camera ambushes on "60 Minutes" in the 70's.

	Crosswalk.com - Hollywood Slighting Americans' Belief in God, Study Finds
		The study, entitled "Faith in a Box: Entertainment Television and Religion, which was released Thursday by the Parents Television Council (PTC) in conjunction with the National Religious Broadcasters, also found that NBC by far leads the other major networks in terms of the number of negative depictions of faith.
		Bozell, who is also president of the Media Research Center and founder of CNSNews.com, pointed to a 2003 Harris Poll that indicates 90 percent of Americans believe in God and 80 percent of those polled believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
		Though portrayals of religion have increased over the past six years, they still do not reflect the importance of the topic or the breadth of interest in it, as evidenced by the recent success of both films ("The Passion of the Christ") and books ("The Purpose Driven Life") with religious subject matter.

		During one week last March, the watchdog Parents Television Council said it counted 3,056 flashes of nudity or sexual situations and 2,881 verbal references to sex.
		An independent analyst said the findings shouldn't come as any surprise to people who watch MTV regularly but would be eye-opening to people who don't — just like the MTV-produced Super Bowl halftime show did when exposed to a large audience on CBS last year.
		Thompson said the report offers valuable consciousness-raising, particularly when many children have televisions in their bedrooms that aren't monitored by parents.

		Germany's media watchdog blocked publisher Axel Springer AG's planned 3.5 billion euros ($4.23 billion) acquisition of the nation's biggest television company ProSiebenSat.1 on Tuesday, saying the combined company would have too much sway over public opinion.

		When the acquisition was announced, Springer's chief executive said the company aimed to mount a challenge to Bertelsmann AG, which owns Stern Magazine and the RTL television channel and has a market share of about 38 percent.

		Members of the Parents Television Council, which has crusaded against coarse language and sexual content on television, made numerous complaints during the year and fear that the inaction by Federal Communications Commission will lead to racier programming.

	What's wrong with public broadcasting? by James MacGuire
		Even Richard Nixon, who opposed much of the public affairs programming aired on public television (correctly considering it to be slanted against him), felt strongly that public broadcasting had an important educational mission to fulfill.
		Lack of capital also prevented public television’s attempt to create a digital video service for use in elementary and secondary classrooms, a market now dominated by Discovery Networks, which moved aggressively into the field, acquiring United Learning, and began making its own deals with individual public broadcasting stations.
		Pack’s initiatives are constructive and deserve to be commended not least for their openness to talented new producers, but the fact that they have already fallen far behind schedule and will take three to seven years to produce and distribute raises questions about the bloated bureaucratic processes to which they are subject.
