Life!tv zendt TEDx-conferenties uit
Vanaf zaterdag 10 december zendt Life!tv telkens vijf TEDx-sprekers uit. De specialisten ter zake deden hun visie over de toekomst uit de doeken tijdens de TEDx-conferenties die in Brussel werden georganiseerd de laatste jaren.
TEDx is een spinoff van TED, de grote Amerikaanse broer waarmee alles begon. TED ontstond in 1984 en had de bedoeling om via conferenties de werelden van de technologie, entertainment en design dichter bij elkaar te brengen. Ondertussen worden overal ter wereld TEDx-conferenties gehouden. TEDx is een afkorting. De T staat voor technologie. De E staat voor entertainment. De D staat voor design. De x betekent dat het om een onafhankelijke lokale conferentie gaat gebaseerd op de principes van de grote TED-conferenties in Amerika.
Gert Van Mol, CEO Life!tv: “Het DNA van onze zender is erg mannelijk. Je hebt natuurlijk mannen en mannen. Naast auto’s, games, sport en babes, maken we in ons programma-aanbod met plezier plaats voor een reeks TEDx-conferenties. We zijn er ons bewust van dat dat geen vrijblijvende televisie is. Maar in plaats van te spreken in termen van moeilijke of gemakkelijke televisie, geloven we eerder in niches en doelgroepen. De TEDx-conferenties slagen er telkens in om het kruim van de hedendaagse denkers en doeners naar België te halen. De tickets daarvoor zijn in een mum van tijd de deur uit. Dus daar is duidelijk een publiek voor. Ook televisie mag zo nu en dan wel een punt maken. Life!tv maakt dat punt graag de komende weekends tussen 22u en 23u.”
In het komende weekend (10 en 11 december) brengt Life!tv de volgende TEDx-presentaties:
Tan Le een dame die erin geslaagd is om via denkpatronen objecten te doen bewegen op een computerscherm
Stromae de bekende muzikant en artist die muziek gebruikt in digitale leerprocessen
Dries Buytaert de man achter Drupal, het website platform dat tot in het Witte Huis gebruikt wordt
Nicolas Negroponte de bezieler achter One Laptop Per Child, of de 100-dollar-laptop voor de derde wereld
Mary Lou Jepsen dankzij haar innovaties bij de ontwikkeling van computerschermen uitgeroepen door Time Magazine tot een van de meest invloedrijke vrouwen ter wereld (2008)

LONDON, 2011-10-11 18:32 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Wall Street Journal Europe today announced the resignation of its publisher, Andrew Langhoff.
A search will begin for a successor. In the interim, Kelly Leach, senior vice president and head of strategy for Dow Jones, will oversee EMEA operations.

As publisher of The Wall Street Journal Europe and managing director for EMEA, Mr. Langhoff had been responsible for Dow Jones'' consumer and enterprise businesses in the region since January 2009. Prior to his European role, he served with distinction as the CEO of Ottaway Newspapers, which since has been renamed the Dow Jones Local Media Group. Mr. Langhoff joined Dow Jones in 2003 as general counsel for Ottaway and later led that unit''s digital development operations.

Publisher of WSJ Europe Resigns
LONDON—Dow Jones & Co.'s top European executive resigned Tuesday following an internal investigation into two articles published in The Wall Street Journal Europe that featured a company with a contractual link to the paper's circulation department.
Andrew Langhoff, managing director of Dow Jones & Co. in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and publisher of The Wall Street Journal Europe, stepped down after an internal probe showed two articles in the paper's Special Reports section had been prompted by an agreement the circulation department struck with Executive Learning Partnership, or ELP, a Netherlands-based consulting firm.
"That relationship, overseen by a now-former employee, is no longer in place," Mr. Langhoff said in an internal email to employees. "Because the agreement could leave the impression that news coverage can be influenced by commercial relationships, as publisher with executive oversight, I believe that my resignation is now the most honorable course," Mr. Langhoff said.
Dow Jones is a unit of News Corp., which owns all editions of The Wall Street Journal.
According to people familiar with the matter, an internal investigation at Dow Jones showed that Mr. Langhoff personally pressured two reporters into writing articles featuring ELP. Mr. Langhoff declined to be interviewed Tuesday.
The Wall Street Journal Europe has appended disclaimers to two articles featuring ELP that ran in the paper's Special Reports section on Oct. 14, 2010, and Mar. 14, 2011. The disclaimer says the "impetus" for the stories was an agreement between The Wall Street Journal Europe's circulation department and ELP. It says "the reporting and writing were solely the responsibility of the News Department" and were not subject to review by the paper's circulation department or the firm. "However, any action that creates an impression that news coverage can be influenced by commercial interests is a breach of the ethical standards of Dow Jones & Co.," the disclaimer says.
Between May 2009 and April 2011, ELP was a lead sponsor of the "Future Leadership Institute," an initiative of The Wall Street Journal Europe's circulation department, Nick Van Heck, a partner at ELP, said in an interview Tuesday.
Both Mr. Van Heck and a spokeswoman for Dow Jones & Co. declined to comment on the specifics of the contract. According to a person familiar with the matter, the agreement was a bulk-circulation deal in which discounted papers were sold to ELP for distribution to students and others, boosting the Journal's circulation in Europe.
People familiar with the matter said the contract included language suggesting ELP could receive some coverage in the pages of The Wall Street Journal Europe. A paragraph in the agreement gave the paper's news department final control over any article, including the possibility that no story at all would appear, one of the people said.
"It was made very clear to us that the editorial freedom, or the editorial independence, was not being infringed by this," Mr. Van Heck said. He said if executives from ELP were interviewed or included in the paper, that was the editorial staff's choice. Mr. Van Heck says ELP terminated the relationship earlier this year.
Still, last fall, Mr. Langhoff personally, and through people who worked with him, pressed for an article featuring ELP to fulfill the contractual obligation, people familiar with the matter said. A Special Reports reporter alerted the paper's then-editor, Patience Wheatcroft, who people familiar with the matter say reviewed the contractual language about editorial control. The article went forward and was published.
Ms. Wheatcroft left The Wall Street Journal Europe in late 2010 to join the U.K. House of Lords. She declined to commentTuesday.
The following spring, Mr. Langhoff and others pressed for ELP to again be featured in an article, according to people familiar with the matter. The reporter didn't flag the assignment because he believed the practice was established policy, people familiar with the matter said.
The issue came to light after a former Dow Jones circulation employee in Europe lodged complaints about Mr. Langhoff and the ELP contract, people familiar with the matter said. An internal investigation was launched, leading top editors in New York to discover the editorial component of the deal and the two stories produced, according to the people familiar with the situation.
The Wall Street Journal Europe has a circulation of about 73,250. The paper runs themed Special Reports regularly.
New York-based News Corp. has been reeling from a scandal at News of the World, its now-closed British tabloid that intercepted voice-mail messages in pursuit of scoops and allegedly paid bribes to police.
Mr. Langhoff is the second top Dow Jones executive to depart in recent months. Les Hinton, chief executive of Dow Jones and before that executive chairman of News Corp.'s U.K. newspaper unit, resigned in July amid the backlash over the voice-mail hacking scandal. Mr. Hinton said he didn't know about the phone hacking but resigned because it occurred on his watch. Mr. Hinton is scheduled to appear before a parliamentary committee via video link Oct. 24.
Dow Jones said it will begin a search for Mr. Langhoff's successor. Kelly Leach, senior vice president and head of strategy for the company, will oversee Europe, the Middle East and Africa in the interim.
"Andrew has played a number of important roles at Dow Jones since 2003 and has been instrumental in successfully growing our businesses in Europe over the past several years," Todd Larsen, president of Dow Jones, said in a statement. Mr. Larsen said Mr. Langhoff built a strong team and left the paper with strong momentum in Europe.
