Univision joins YouTube
Wired is reporting that Univision has entered an agreement with YouTube to add Spanish language programming to the online video site. This expands the possible audience and availability of Univision's poular programming, but even mor einteresting is the progressive business model.
They will be streaming online with ads, but they will also use Google's technology to recognize when users upload Univision content and instead of threatening the user and taking it down, they will injct ads and monetize the copyright infringement.
This allows them to protect their rights to profit form their content while not alienating fans. At the same time, it crowd-sources revenue opportunitities because a fan might present a clip in a context or manner the networks didn't think to, possibly reaching more viewers than the rights holders would have in the beginning.
Anyway, stay tuned to your computer for upcoming episodes of shows ranging from Mujeres Asesinas to El Gordo y La Flaca and Don Francisco Presenta.

Fox News Latino uses "anchor baby" slur for Cruz-Bardem baby
Writing for Fox News Latino, Alexandra Gratereaux summarizes a Spanish article, by saying actors Pénelope Cruz and Javier Bardem plan on having an anchor baby because the baby will be born in Los Angeles instead of heir native Spain.
A Fox News press release describes their Latino portal as "an unprecedented opportunity to expand our reach by engaging a new audience and providing a unique platform on which web users can access compelling content focused on the Latino community and the American dream."
The idea of an anchor baby is that immigrants come here just to have a baby on US soil and make them US citizens. It's a derogatory slur and would be on par with calling Bristol Palin's child a bastard or illegitimate, which no professional journalist would stoop to. Add a comment
