Alliance, Others Encourage USPS to Incentivize Business Mailings Amid COVID-19 Crisis
NEWS MEDIA ALLIANCE – 01/04/2020
Paul J. Boyle
The Alliance and 11 other business associations sent a letter to the United States Postal Service (USPS) encouraging the agency to put forward measures in the coming weeks that will provide business mailers with incentives to stay in our nation’s postal system during the COVID-19 crisis. Associations representing newspapers, magazines, direct mailers, non-profit mailers and others reminded USPS management that its operations are fully funded by postage rates paid by individuals and businesses. As the coronavirus crisis continues to unfold, businesses are pulling back on advertising, which is already having an impact on solo and shared mail marketing campaigns, including newspapers’ Total Market Coverage products. As a result of this advertising contraction, businesses that distribute marketing mail for advertisers are likely to scale back their own operations or abandon the mail altogether. The business association letter encourages USPS to adopt incentives now to encourage businesses to remain in the mail. Specifically, the letter encourages USPS to: (1) propose to the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) an immediate 5 cent per-piece rate reduction for all market-dominant products; (2) defer collection of postage payments for customers with various USPS accounts; and (3) introduce a new promotion incentive to bring back mail volume in the summer.
The death of Hungary’s democracy is a worldwide press-freedom warning
COLUMBIA JOURNALISM REVIEW – 01/04/2020
Jon Allsop
ON FRIDAY—as concern spread internationally about Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s authoritarian prime minister, using the cover of the coronavirus to consolidate his personal power—Politico published an op-ed in which Judit Varga, Orbán’s justice minister, lashed out at the country’s critics. “False claims about a power grab in Hungary are spreading as quickly as the coronavirus,” Varga wrote; Orbán’s government, she argued, is being slandered by “Western European thinkers” who don’t like its “coherent, Christian-Conservative policy,” and by a “leftist-liberal media” that doesn’t like its treatment of migrants. (Hungary has erected razor-wire fences to keep migrants out; Orbán’s administration has accused George Soros, the philanthropist and conspiracy magnet, of plotting to destroy Hungary by flooding it with foreigners, and passed “Stop Soros” laws making it illegal to help undocumented migrants with asylum claims.) On Friday, Varga shared her Politico article on Twitter, with the caption, “Stop lecturing HU Gov by spreading #fakenews!”

Sostenibilidad (o viabilidad) de los medios durante la pandemia

JANINE WARNER AND NAIMID CIRELLI
Mientras las medidas para disminuir el contagio de COVID-19 se extienden en el mundo, millones de personas quedan en cuarentena en sus casas, la información verificada es más importante que nunca. Las audiencias de noticias crecen en números récord, pero muchos medios de comunicación encuentran que sus ingresos están bajando rápidamente. Muchas empresas afectadas por la situación económica están suspendiendo sus anuncios. Los eventos públicos y las conferencias ya han sido cancelados hasta mayo y posiblemente por más tiempo. Algunos medios de comunicación informan que sus suscripciones están creciendo, pero ante tanta incertidumbre, ya temen que algunos lectores puedan cancelarlas pronto. ¿Qué están haciendo los medios nativos digitales independientes para sobrevivir a esta crisis sin precedente y qué recomiendan los que trabajan en sostenibilidad de medios?
