cnet reports a CNN ireport story on its user generated site impacted apples stock by 9% yesterday.

Its a really interesting situtaion where the un verified story on a CNN service get picked up by other mainstream media and has a real impact.

Does this mean that mainstream news media cannot even associate its brand with user generated content?

Industry Moves: BBCWW Confirms Microsoft’s Dobson To Run Global Ad Sales

Just picked this up on paid content:

BBC Worldwide has now confirmed Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) UK’s online services group VP Chris Dobson is joining it, as we reported last month. His job title’s a big one – EVP and general manager of global ad sales. Dobson will oversee advertising across TV channels and online including BBC World News, and will sit above both Jonathan Howlett and Mark Gall, who were brought to head digital ads for international and US respectively in November, when BBC.com launched with its controversial advertising. Dobson, who will report to Darren Childs, has a remit to grow advertising income from the BBC’s commercial arm, which reinvests in BBC content. BBC.com made £1.5 million from ads between November and March, and BBCWW plans to grow that significantly.
