Murdoch buys Wall Street Jounal

Murdoch makes mark at Wall Street Journal Stephen Brook, press correspondentMonday October 8, 2007MediaGuardian.co.uk
Murdoch: has already made several visits to the WSJ to meet staff.
Rupert Murdoch has not yet taken ownership of the Wall Street Journal, but has already been putting his stamp of authority on the financial newspaper.
Although his company News Corporation's $5bn (£2.5bn) deal to buy WSJ publisher Dow Jones is not expected to complete until December, Mr Murdoch has made several visits to the company's New York headquarters to meet with executives and staff.
Last week Mr Murdoch - who vowed to safeguard the Journal's editorial independence - paid a visit to its headquarters and apparently did a "classic Murdoch number", one source told MediaGuardian.co.uk.
Mr Murdoch is understood to have met with editorial executives on the WSJ and Dow Jones wire service and critiqued the paper's coverage for that particular day. "He basically got out his red felt-tip pen," the insider added.
Mr Murdoch also "spent hours" in meetings with Marcus Brauchli, the paper's managing editor, the Financial Times reported today.
"First of all we don't own the paper yet. We're getting in there and trying to understand it," Peter Chernin, the News Corporation chief operating officer, told the Financial Times.
As part of ownership negotiations before agreeing to buy Dow Jones in August, News Corp made a number of concessions designed to safeguard editorial independence, include the formation of an editorial committee.
News Corp also offered Dow Jones' controlling shareholders the Bancroft family a seat on its board. Mr Murdoch has promised extra investment and wants the Journal to carry more US national news to take on the New York Times, focus more on luxury advertisers, expand the WSJ.com website and possibily dismantle its pay wall.
WSJ.com is one of the few newspaper websites worldwide to operate profitably with a subscription-based business model.
At an investor conference last month, Mr Murdoch said News Corporation had indentified $100m of potential savings at Dow Jones.

Bollywood Clips (h/w)

Within the older clip, the female is shown to be an entertainer as she’s dancing while all the males watch her. In both clips, the female is represented as a sex object who is there to be looked at yet within the newer clip, the female is wearing a more revealing costume which demonstrates the effects of globalization. Moreover, all the characters seemed to have become more westernized as this is not only reflected via their costumes, but also because the actual video is more like a music video. Whereas, in the first clip, the mise-en-scene is the same throughout the song, the second clip has shots of the female dancing interweaved with the males and the action. The second clip also reflects how important technology has become and it reflects how advanced we have gotten, as the clip has special effects added and a variety of different types of shots have been used. Although the genre has changed some of the ideology has remained the same, as both clips promote a patriarchal society and both show females to be passive, as neither seems to have an important role which helps to move the narrative along.
