Where To Watch The 2012 Super Bowl Live Online (GigaOM / NewTeeVee)
Here's our growing list of online resources for Super Bowl XLVI Sunday. AdAge / Super Bowl: In a 60-second apocalyptic-themed Super Bowl spot that will air during the game's first quarter, GM's Chevrolet brand manages to get in a dig at crosstown rival Ford. Adweek / AdFreak: It's been quite amazing how many finished Super Bowl spots, not just teasers, have been released online before this year's game. This morning we have two more 30-second spots -- E*Trade's "Fatherhood" spot from Grey, New York, and Century 21's "Smarter. Bolder. Faster," from Red Tettemer + Partners in Philadelphia. AdAge / Super Bowl: It's no wonder that the lovely Adriana Lima was the pick for not one, but two, marketers' Super Bowl ads in 2012. Both Kia and Teleflora have chosen her to star in their spots, and considering the millions of dollars spent on airtime during the game, they are hoping for some serious ROI. AdAge / Super Bowl: It's no wonder that the lovely Adriana Lima was the pick for not one, but two, marketers' Super Bowl ads in 2012. Both Kia and Teleflora have chosen her to star in their spots, and considering the millions of dollars spent on airtime during the game, they are hoping for some serious ROI. AdAge / Super Bowl: Like monkeys in your Super Bowl ads? Funny gags? Celebrities?

Cable Networks Cover Donald Trump Endorsement (TVNewser)
At 3:45 p.m. ET, MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News went live to the Donald Trump press conference in Las Vegas, where the real estate mogul -- and frequent cable news guest -- endorsed Mitt Romney for president. HuffPost: The New York Times, The Associated Press, Politico, National Journal, and CBS all initially reported that the Celebrity Apprentice host would announce his support of Newt Gingrich. According to Politico, the Times was the first to report Trump's endorsement of Gingrich. News sources like Drudge, however, reported that Trump would endorse GOP candidate Romney. By Thursday morning, news sources seemed to wonder -- who's it going to be? B&C: Gingrich's campaign continued to hammer on the media as a campaign strategy, specifically a fund-raising strategy. CJR / Campaign Desk: Journalists are suddenly eager to admit the media is biased in favor of an extended campaign. Will they do anything about it?

Fenwick Named CEO Of Dow Jones (WSJ)
News Corp. named former Bloomberg CEO Lex Fenwick CEO of Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones. NYT / Media Decoder: The move, announced Thursday by News Corp., Dow Jones' parent company, fills a six-month vacancy created when Les Hinton resigned in July amid a phone-hacking scandal at the company's British newspaper unit. Fenwick, 52, will assume the helm of the publisher as it aggressively pushes into new digital platforms as readers increasingly turn to the Web. TheWrap.com / Media Alley: Fenwick spent 25 years at Bloomberg, and his new job will place him in charge of a Bloomberg competitor. Reporting to News Corp. chief operating officer Chase Carey, Fenwick will oversee The Wall Street Journal, the Dow Jones newswires, and the Dow Jones financial information service, among other properties. Adweek: Unlike his predecessor, who was a longtime Murdoch soldier and confidant, Fenwick is a News Corp. outsider, and his selection could be seen as aimed at helping distance the division from the phone-hacking troubles.

Arthur Sulzberger Tells Shareholders That The Times' Search For A New CEO Is Still In 'Early Stages' (Capital New York)
The New York Times Co.'s search for a new CEO "is in its early stages," according to Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the company's chairman and interim CEO. Nieman Journalism Lab: The New York Times is one of the most respected brands on the planet. It is a pinnacle of the news trade. It generated revenues of $2.32 billion in 2011, according to the latest quarterly numbers released Thursday morning. It sits square in the middle of the planet's media capital, New York. And yet its longtime CEO just parachuted out in a cloud of more than 20 million dollar bills, and few can come up with a shortlist of names who could, or should, take on the job. paidContent: Late last year, The New York Times relaunched its tech blog to add more reporters and more video -- in hopes of pulling in more ad revenue. That followed an even larger buildup of its business and finance blog, DealBook. Now, the company will be giving the same treatment to its health blog, Well.

NBC Adds New Ultra-Slow-Motion Cameras For Super Bowl (B&C)
NBC Sports has decided to use four new NAC Hi-Motion II cameras from NAC Image Technology for the network's coverage of Super Bowl XLVI. AdAge / Super Bowl: You know how women have been trying to teach men for decades that a gift or a date is not an economic transaction guaranteed to garner bedroom action later that night? Well, Teleflora has missed that message. TheWrap.com / The Box: Are throwbacks the big trend when it comes to Super Bowl ads this year? Matthew Broderick created quite the stir this week when it was revealed that he'd spoof his 1986 film, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, in an ad for the Honda CR-V to air during the Big Game Sunday. And now, as it turns out, football giant "Mean Joe" Greene has offered his own variation on the theme. The former Pittsburgh Steeler re-creates -- sort of -- his classic 1980 Super Bowl ad for Coca-Cola, in a new ad for Downy Unstopables In-Wash Scent Booster. AdAge / Super Bowl: While Twitter hashtags and Facebook page addresses have become common sights in commercials of many stripes, movie-ticketing service Fandango hopes it can make its name a steady presence in the dozens of movie trailers that appear on TV. LA Times: Over the past several months, Los Angeles-based advertising agencies have put a Saint Bernard in a fat suit, a French bulldog in red sneakers, a Holstein in pigtails, and Broderick, a la Ferris Bueller, in an SUV. During Sunday's Super Bowl broadcast, with big-budget ads for clients like Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda, and Pepsi, the agencies are going head-to-head with competitors from Madison Avenue to Marina del Rey. Time / Techland: Here are 32 tech companies from Super Bowl ads over the years. Just like National Football League teams, some of these companies have flourished; others haven't fared nearly as well. Multichannel News: For the first time, the NFL's title game will be streamed live to mobile devices, with Verizon Wireless exclusively offering the telecast of the New York Giants taking on the New England Patriots to subscribers with select smartphones. Mashable: The explosive growth of social media over the past four years has drastically changed how the Giants and Patriots market themselves and connect with fans compared to the two teams' most recent Super Bowl trips. Twitter Blog: While the @Giants' and @Patriots' rematch and halftime show play out on TV, the national conversation is happening well beyond your den: It also happens on Twitter. Follow your favorite NFL players, coaches, and commentators during the game, or just search for #SuperBowl to see how everyone is reacting to the action on the field. CNET: The NFL is gearing up for tens of thousands of visitors to descend upon Indianapolis to watch the Super Bowl live this weekend. In order to help fans navigate the city and stadium, the sports federation released a free app for iOS and Android called Super Bowl XLVI Guide. TechCrunch: Shazam, an app that allows people to connect with extra TV content by listening to a few seconds of audio, says it has big plans for Sunday, and IntoNow, a Yahoo!-acquired app offering similar capabilities, is announcing a big partnership, too. AllThingsD: About one-half of the Super Bowl advertisers have given Shazam bonus content (like videos and sweepstakes entries) to reward those who "tag" the ads from Shazam's smartphone apps. Plus, Interscope and Bud Light are sending out bonus halftime-show content, and game stats and social features will be running throughout the game. TVNewser: Here's some counterprogramming for you. With the Super Bowl airing on NBC, CBS' 60 Minutes gives it up for the ladies.

Reactions To Facebook's IPO Announcement (AllFacebook)
Reaction to the official announcement Wednesday about Facebook filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission for its initial public offering was fast and furious. Business Insider / Money Game: Many high-profile investors have been sounding off on the company since news of the IPO filing broke. AllFacebook: Scammers will seize any angle they can to try to reel in the unsuspecting, and the IPO announced by Facebook Wednesday is no exception.

HuffPost Streaming Network: Game Changer? You Decide (FishbowlNY)
Thursday at the AOL Studios in New York, AOL and Huffington Post executives assembled media pros for hors d'oeuvres -- including, as one reporter put it, lobster bisque in a shot glass -- a one-year anniversary celebration, and an unveiling of the HuffPost Streaming Network. TechCrunch: Say what you will about The Huffington Post and AOL, their merger has given HuffPost the resources to conquer the online news-aggregation business. Thursday HuffPost dropped some big stats about the year since its acquisition, most importantly a 47 percent growth of monthly unique visitors to 36.2 million. Next it's aiming to take down CNN and the cable news industry with The Huffington Post Streaming Network, which will stream content live on the Web for 12 hours per day. NYT / Media Decoder: The ambitious plans come at a time when all manner of media organizations are trying to expand into live video, creating a new set of online competition to established television channels like CNN. The Wall Street Journal streams about four hours of live video each weekday on its website. The New York Times started its first daily business Webcast earlier this week. AllThingsD: Will it work? There's little question that Web video viewing is on the rise. According to a 2011 Nielsen report, U.S. consumers now spend an average of four hours and 20 minutes per month watching video on the Web, one hour and 10 minutes more than the amount they watched in early 2010. But Huffington and Huffington Post founding editor Roy Sekoff believe that, despite the fact that HuffPost is mirroring the cable TV model and a lot of the programming will be live, consumers still aren't all that interested in watching on a set schedule. GigaOM: At a time when some newspaper websites are happy to get page views in the tens of millions in a month, HuffPost racked up more than 1 billion page views in December. And while page views can be inflated, some of the site's other metrics show that if there's one thing the team that builds HuffPost understands, it is how to get reader engagement to hit levels that other news sites and publishers can only dream of. AdAge / Digital: There were Prosecco bottles popping, waiters gliding around with platters of hors d'oeuvres, and Huffington, in a sleek black dress, looking the part of a Greek movie star. For all intents and purposes, this was a movie premiere starring, who else, Arianna. FishbowlNY: Sekoff mentioned that the network will be a full division of the media company and equipped with at least 100 employees. Huffington chimed in that they are actively hiring at every level in preparation for the summer launch.

NYT Co. Sees Drop In Earnings But 20 Percent Rise In Digital Subs (paidContent)
Higher online circulation was a small bright spot in an otherwise gloomy earnings report for The New York Times Co., which is still looking for a CEO who can implement a comprehensive digital strategy. Business Insider / Silicon Alley Insider: The New York Times Co. reported its fourth-quarter earnings Thursday, and it lost $39.7 million in 2011, or 27 cents per share, after making $107.7 million in 2010. Q4 profit is down 12.2 percent year-over-year thanks to the continuing decline of print advertising and a 67.4 percent decline in the About Group's operating profit, which also saw a 25.7 percent decrease in quarterly ad revenues year-over-year. Boston Globe: The New York Times Co. said it has agreed to sell one-third of its remaining stake in the group that owns the Boston Red Sox for $30 million. AllThingsD: The New York Times Co. ended 2011 with 390,000 digital subscribers, up about 20 percent from its third-quarter total. Some of the new subscriptions came from the publisher's International Herald Tribune, which started digital sales last fall.

Facebook Officially Files SEC Documents For $5B Offer (AllFacebook)
Facebook officially filed papers with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a forthcoming $5 billion initial public offering. Inside Facebook: Facebook had $1 billion in net income on $3.71 billion revenue in 2011, according to its filing. The company's revenues grew 87 percent year-over-year from 2010, which, in turn, more than doubled from the year before. Payments and fees revenue made up $557 million, or about 15 percent of revenues for all of 2011, showing that the company is still heavily dependent on display advertising. Ads made up $3.154 billion in revenue. Just to note, Facebook has $3.91 billion in cash and marketable securities. TechCrunch: We learned a lot of things about Facebook Wednesday from its IPO filing. But there is one detail that sticks out for its improbable exactness: The $1.000 billion in profits Facebook reported for 2011. The number wasn't $998 million. It wasn't $1.003 billion. It was $1.000 billion right on the dot. Inside Facebook: Facebook announced new usage milestones in its S-1 filing Wednesday: 845 million monthly active users, including 425 million users who access the service on mobile devices. CNET: Buried in Facebook's filing for its much-ballyhooed initial public offering is the sort of contradiction that might sink a lesser company: The more that people use Facebook's mobile offerings, the worse the company's bottom line becomes. CNET: The social-networking giant's initial public offering document reveals a wealth of detail about its business operations previously known only to the likes of co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg, and the company's legion of private investors. AllFacebook: Co-founder Dustin Moskovitz has almost 133.8 million shares in the company, but none of the co-founders who've left the company appear in the list of the top stakeholders, meaning that Chris Hughes and Eduardo Saverin have pared down their stakes in the company. Ditto for Sean Parker, the company's former president and currently an investor in Spotify. B&C: In terms of compensation, Zuckerberg received a base salary of $483,333, bonuses of $220,500, and other compensation valued at $783,529, for a total of $1,487,362 in 2011. Sandberg received a base salary of $295,833, bonuses of $86,133, and stock awards valued at $30,491,613, for a total package of $30,873,579. The second-highest-compensated executive was Mike Schroepfer, vice president of engineering, who received a total package of $24.7 million in 2011. Inside Facebook: Zuckerberg will take a $1 annual salary starting next year, mirroring other iconic public company founders like Apple's Steve Jobs and Google's Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Mashable: The filing noted that Zuckerberg spent nearly $700,000 for costs related to private plane use "chartered in connection with his comprehensive security program and on which family and friends flew during 2011." Business Insider / Silicon Alley Insider: Facebook has approved the use of a private plane for Zuckerberg and Sandberg. NY Post: The first-ever peek behind the curtain at the eight-year-old tech titan shows just how powerful the 27-year-old CEO is -- including controlling 57 percent of Facebook's voting power and being able to name a successor, even one after he is dead. Inside Facebook: Facebook revealed that it took steps to increase the reserve price in its advertising auction system, which increased the minimum bid for some advertisers. Inside Facebook: Facebook also revealed that it spent $68 million in cash and stock on acquisitions last year. Inside Facebook: Facebook said it paid out $1.4 billion to developers through payments on its platform in 2011. Apple paid out half that much to iPhone, iPod, and iPad developers last quarter. AllFacebook: Wednesday's S-1 filing revealed that Facebook generates approximately $550 million annually through Credits, $375 million of which can be attributed to Zynga. Inside Facebook: Facebook named Google as its prime competitor among others including Microsoft and Twitter. CNET: Facebook is painting itself as the David to Google's Goliath. TechCrunch: It appears that the excitement over the Facebook IPO has crashed the SEC's website. LA Times: Just moments after Facebook filed its long awaited S-1 Wednesday afternoon, the S-1 itself got its own Twitter feed. NY Observer / Betabeat: One underwriter slipped through: boutique New York-based investment bank Allen & Co., which puts on the annual Sun Valley conference that regularly attracts billionaires and media moguls. Business Insider / Silicon Alley Insider: Newark Mayor Cory Booker is probably smiling right now. Zuckerberg donated $100 million of his stock to the school system back when Facebook was worth $20 billion. If Facebook IPOs at the anticipated $100 billion valuation, the public school system will get five times that amount, which means one of the country's worst school systems may soon be $500 million richer. CNET / Molly Rants: Facebook's IPO will make some bankers, some venture capitalists, some privileged early investors, and some early employees rich. Everyone else should steer clear.

Fox News Wins Florida Primary, But Only CNN Improves From Non-Primary Night (TVNewser)
Fox News easily won the cable news coverage of the Florida GOP primary, drawing more than the combined average of CNN and MSNBC. But the early finish of the primary, with the call at 8 p.m. ET going to Mitt Romney, may have sent viewers elsewhere. B&C: CNN was second with 1.09 million total viewers and MSNBC third with 984,000. In the key adults 25-54 demo, FNC drew 641,000 viewers, CNN had 402,000, and MSNBC saw 245,000. AP: Social media will again play a role in disseminating the results from a state caucus. Results of the Nevada Republican Presidential Caucus Saturday, Feb. 4, will be released through Twitter and Google, state GOP leaders have announced. Google had a similar role in the Iowa caucuses. Yahoo! News / The Ticket: Fresh off his double-digit victory in Tuesday's Florida Republican primary, a chipper Romney hit the morning talk-show circuit Wednesday, appearing on the Today show, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, Fox and Friends, and CNN's Starting Point via satellite from Tampa. CJR / Campaign Desk: A suggested reading list for getting up to speed on this Super PAC thing. Yahoo! News / The Ticket: Among the 150-plus major donors disclosed by Restore Our Future, a super PAC supporting Romney: Marc Andreessen, the Netscape co-founder who's become one of the biggest venture capitalists in Silicon Valley. TVNewser: Cracker, a pejorative term generally used to describe Southern rural white people, turned up at least twice Tuesday during cable news coverage of the Florida primary. TVNewser: Neil Cavuto, meet Kevin Costner. "I think of it as like a Field of Dreams thing," says Cavuto as he prepares to anchor his fourth night of live political coverage (five if you count the State of the Union) this month. "If people see you're serious, they will come. And every time, every caucus, every primary, every major speech, it creates buzz, it creates recognition."

AOL Beats The Street, Q4 Revenue Down 3 Percent To $577M (TechCrunch)
AOL reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings Wednesday morning. The company, which owns TechCrunch, reported revenue of $576.8 million, down 3 percent from Q4 2010 revenue of $596 million. Earnings came in at $0.23 per share, or $22.8 million, down 66 percent from $66.2 million a year ago. Analysts expected $0.16 per share. paidContent: AOL Wednesday reported that its strategy to turn around its advertising business is definitely paying off, with sale up by 10 percent on the year before. But that wasn't enough to make up for declines in subscriptions and other areas, resulting in a net decline in revenues for Q4. AllThingsD: While the results are still down significantly from a year ago, AOL's stock has been rising -- gaining more than 25 percent in the quarter -- since CEO Tim Armstrong has improved advertising revenue. Forbes: For quite some time now, Armstrong has been telling investors that parts of Patch, the company's network of hyperlocal news sites, would cross over into the black by the end of 2011 in a "rolling thunder" of profitability. But on the company's year-end earnings call Wednesday, there was nary a rumble.

AllTwitter: This year's presidential election will be even bigger and better on the social plane than four years ago -- and the fine folks at MGD Advertising put together a comparison of how social media was used in the election four years ago and how it's grown today.

Gingrich: I Wouldn't Accept Debate Versus Obama Moderated By Reporters (msnbc.com / First Read)
Newt Gingrich threatened Monday to skip any debate as the Republican nominee versus President Barack Obama that's moderated by a member of the media. HuffPost: Speaking to a rally in Pensacola, Fla., Gingrich said, "As your nominee, I will not accept debates in the fall in which the reporters are the moderators.

Reclusive Randy Smith's Alden Global has been building a national newspaper empire, but after suffering some losses ,he may be looking to recycle that idea.
