4-Minute Roundup: Apple's iAds; Journo-Programming Degree

by Mark Glaser, April 9, 2010

Tagged: apple, columbia university, google, iad, journalism education, mobile phones, programmer-journalist

Here's the latest 4MR audio report from MediaShift. In this week's edition, I look at Apple's plan to enter mobile advertising with its new iAd platform. Apple has been known for hardware and software but has never handled ad sales before, and now finds itself squarely in competition with Google and AdMob in that arena. Plus, Columbia University announced a new dual journalism-programming degree. And I ask Just One Question to AdAge reporter Kunur Patel about her take on the new Apple iAd platform.
