And the pixels at the very bottom of the screen are being sold by an agency in Patagonia

Here’s a small but still interesting/weird story for anyone involved in the Hungarian media market: According to kreativ.hu, ad sales for the website of Hungary’s most widely read political daily – nol.hu – will now be handled by the Adaptive Media Sales House, instead of majority owner Ringier, while news portal hirszerzo.hu will be represented by Ringier Online, having switched over from Adaptive.

As the switch leave the two groups with roughly the same product profile – with one large news portal each – it’s hard to see why they even bothered. Unless, of course, the idea was to just get people to write about them. Oh, wait…

    Just to let you know Erik that I had Frosties for breakfast this morning and I put in 1.5 spoons of sugar in my coffee which it is hard to see why I did that since I normally only put in 1 which is 1/2 less than today.

    You see, this journalism lark is quite simple when you put your mind to it.

    Ahh Jan, I see your maths. Indeed I usually add 2/3 of the sugar as I did yesterday, but it was indeed 1/2 a teaspoon less. My fault for not being clear.

    I guess your right, this journalism is much tougher than I first thought :-)

    What journalism? A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down….

    PS. With this sort of logic combined with your natural flair for math/arithmetic you are guaranteed a government job. Certainly.
