A “Smart Engineering” special is planned for just before Electronica.

National paper start charging for online
The Times, one of the UK’s leading daily newspapers, has announced it will start charging for content in June.
The new site is already on line and requires you register to read articles after your first click. Reactions on blogs and Twitter are mixed and summed up nicely by the following tweet.
My initial impression is i like the new times website, but i wouldn’t pay for it http://bit.ly/9xmgg8

We’ll have to wait and see if a pay model will work for national papers on the web. Having lost a fortune trying to develop a readership that advertisers didn’t pay enough to reach, the majority of the newspaper industry both in Europe and the US / Asia, will be keenly watching and hoping.

Awards entry season
It’s fast approaching summer and that means the entry deadlines for the many of the awards from the media are quickly approaching. This allows plenty of time for judging before the winter award ceremonies.
The deadlines for the WSJ Innovation awards and the Cable and Satellite International awards have both passed. The next on the list is Electronic Product Design’s (EPD) eLegacy, closing on May 30th. EPD has, so we’re told, gone with an 80s theme for its Kensington Roof Gardens ceremony in London.
The IET Innovation awards have opened and will shut in July. And Electronics Weekly’s Elektra awards, which will be held in the UK rather than at Electronica this year, will open for nominations on the 26th May.

Where to place advertising
The 2010 Media Power 50 has been published by B2B magazine, listing the most influential US publications and events in which to place business advertisements.
The list is topped, predictably, by the WSJ and Google. And third place went to the NFL – the American Football league. B2B stated: “In a reflection of its soaring popularity, the NFL Draft was a prime-time event for the first time this year, with the all-important first and second rounds showing on ESPN and the NFL Network two consecutive nights in April.”
The list is also broken down by sector and it’s worth noting that EE Times was listed amongst the most influential technology titles, alongside Information Week, CIO and ComputerWorld.
The complete technology list can be found on the B2B site.
