President and CEO Mark Thompson said that in recent months "traditional display" like banners have accounted for less than half of digital ad revenue.
Audience and advertisers are moving quickly to smartphone mobile and with different kinds of campaigns. In the transition, the company recorded a 7 percent quarterly loss year-to-year in digital advertising revenue.
But Thompson said that he expects "double-digit growth" to resume in the second half of the year. More

Mark Mahoney Editorial for The Daily Gazette: Contact your lawmakers about their pay raise
The New York State Commission on Legislative, Judicial and Executive Compensation is in the process of determining whether our top state officials -- including the governor and members of the state Legislature -- are deserving of a pay raise.
The legislators' pay hasn't been raised since 1999, and the commission is in charge of making recommendations for an upgrade. Ultimately, lawmakers must vote on whether to accept the recommendations. If they don't change the recommendations, they'll take effect.
At least one member of the pay raise commission on Tuesday suggested a raise of 47 percent. No other commissioners objected. So it's safe to assume no one found that outrageous, which means that's probably a number close to the one they'll settle on.
Do you think lawmakers are worth a 47 percent raise? More

- I was speaking at a conference a few weeks ago about Spirited Media, the local news startup I currently run. After giving some background on our overall strategy, I took a few questions about our business model, which is primarily focused on events and not advertising. The questions were good ones, all coming from people who clearly understood that, without new revenue models, the survival of independent journalism is no sure thing. It was quite encouraging to get so many questions about revenue. In fact, it felt too good to be true. And, of course, it was. Soon, the inevitable happened. One of the journalists in the room asked, essentially, "Why are you talking so much about business stuff? I remember meeting you a few years ago, and you were so high-minded about journalism. When exactly did you sell out?" Now, those were not his exact words, but I'm pretty sure those in attendance would agree that was the gist of the question/statement.
Welcome to journalism, the only industry where a significant amount of its smartest employees not only take pride in the fact they don't care how the companies they work for make money, but chastise those who do. More

From Politico.eu -After the killing of an elderly priest at a church in northern France, Le Monde has called for the media to rethink the way it covers such attacks to avoid 'glorifying' the perpetrators. "If the companies that control our social networks and new mass media don't reflect on this, it will become increasingly difficult to counter the effects of hate," Jérôme Fenoglio, Le Monde's editorial director, wrote on Wednesday.
