PORTO CERVO, SARDINIA – Media OutReach – 10 February 2021 – KAMPOS, the ultimate Italian brand promoting luxury with integrity, is expanding overseas by entering the South Korean market.

The brand has recently signed a partnership with a local distributor, Sanghyun Yu, based in the capital, Seoul, and has already established KAMPOS South Korea Ltd. As part of the strategy, the brand has just launched its South Korean website ( https://kampos.kr/ ) .

When we ask the reason of this expansion to Alessandro Vergano, Founder & CEO of KAMPOS, he declares: ”This international move is more than a business decision; it is a strategic and meaningful move to strengthen our sustainable mission. We are determined to transform the way of consumption by challenging the luxury industry’s norms, inspiring change, and reducing marine waste.” He adds: ”Sharing our message at an international has become obvious as we understand the need to reach further international customer profiles outside Europe.

Australian media reforms pass parliament after last-ditch changes

February 25, 2021 by tuoitrenews.vn

CANBERRA — The Australian parliament on Thursday passed a new law designed to force Alphabet Inc’s Google and Facebook Inc to pay media companies for content used on their platforms in reforms that could be replicated in other countries.

Australia will be the first country where a government arbitrator will decide the price to be paid by the tech giants if commercial negotiations with local news outlets fail.

The legislation was watered down, however, at the last minute after a standoff between the government and Facebook culminated in the social media company blocking all news for Australian users.

Subsequent amendments to the bill included giving the government the discretion to release Facebook or Google from the arbitration process if they prove they have made a “significant contribution” to the Australian news industry.

Some lawmakers and publishers have warned that could unfairly leave smaller media companies out in the cold, but both the government and Facebook have claimed the revised legislation as a win.

“The code will ensure that news media businesses are fairly remunerated for the content they generate, helping to sustain public-interest journalism in Australia,” Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Communications Minister Paul Fletcher said in a joint statement on Thursday.

The progress of the legislation has been closely watched around the world as countries including Canada and Britain consider similar steps to rein in the dominant tech platforms.

The revised code, which also includes a longer period for the tech companies to strike deals with media companies before the state intervenes, will be reviewed within one year of its commencement, the statement said. It did not provide a start date.

The legislation does not specifically name Facebook or Google. Frydenberg said earlier this week he will wait for the tech giants to strike commercial deals with media companies before deciding whether to compel both to do so under the new law.

Google has struck a series of deals with publishers, including a global content arrangement with News Corp, after earlier threatening to withdraw its search engine from Australia over the laws.

Several media companies, including Seven West Media, Nine Entertainment and the Australian Broadcasting Corp have said they are in talks with Facebook.

Representatives for both Google and Facebook did not immediately respond to requests from Reuters for comment on Thursday.

VnExpress International named among top 15 English news websites in Southeast Asia

December 1, 2016 by e.vnexpress.net

  • AT&T to buy Time Warner for $85 bln, create telecom-media giant
  • Da Nang bans civil servants from social media during work hours

VnExpress International , the English version of Vietnam’s most-read news site VnExpress, has been listed among the top 15 English websites in terms of information quality and presentation in Southeast Asia.

It is the only website from Vietnam on the list, standing together with established sites in the region such as Channel NewsAsia and The Straits Times of Singapore, Bangkok Post and The Nation of Thailand, The Star Online of Malaysia and Indonesia’s Jakarta Post . The Philippines also has several sites on the list.

The six countries, which make up 95 percent of total ASEAN GDP, are the most advanced countries and more proficient in English than their peers, according to ASEAN UP, which compiled the list.

The websites are great sources of information about their respective countries from a local perspective, it said. They have a large reader base and are also popular on social media.

Florian Bansac, founder of ASEAN UP, said it first came up with a bigger list of 50 media outlets that included several other English news sites from Vietnam.

The “quintessential list” was selected based on four criteria: quality of information, quality of design and user experience, web domain authority and the number of social media followers.

VnExpress International was launched last April, targeting global readers with daily news updates and analysis of Vietnam’s culture, travel and development. Its Facebook page now has nearly 10,700 fans.

“The criteria that make VnExpress stand out from its peers is especially its clear design and structure of information that enables a much better user experience and intuitive navigation through the news that each visitor might be interested in,” Bansac said.

He said the online domination of the Vietnamese version of VnExpress also makes its English version more recognized through search engines than other Vietnamese news websites.

Officially launched in April 2014, ASEAN UP has been focusing on finding and spreading quality resources from top companies, media and government agencies while creating its own resources.

Fujifilm to restart clinical trial of Avigan to treat COVID-19: media

February 21, 2021 by tuoitrenews.vn

TOKYO — Fujifilm Holdings Corp will restart a clinical trial in Japan of its antiviral drug Avigan for the treatment of COVID-19, the Nikkei newspaper reported on Sunday.

Domestic approval of the drug was delayed after a health ministry panel said in December that trial data was inconclusive.

The new study will involve about 270 patients and Fujifilm will aim to seek approval again in October, Nikkei said.

Representatives from Fujifilm did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Japan has approved Avigan, known generically as favipiravir, as an emergency flu medicine. But concerns remain, as the drug has been shown to cause birth defects in animal studies and its effectiveness against COVID-19 has proven difficult to demonstrate.

Japan’s government has called on Fujifilm to triple national stockpiles of the drug, which has been approved for COVID-19 treatment in Russia, India and Indonesia.

Facebook to restore Australia news pages after deal on media law

February 23, 2021 by dtinews.vn

Facebook said Tuesday it will lift a contentious ban on Australian news pages, after the government agreed to amend a world-first law requiring tech giants to pay media companies.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Facebook said a compromise had been reached on key aspects of the law, which was fiercely opposed by the tech companies.

“As a result of these changes, we can now work to further our investment in public interest journalism, and restore news on Facebook for Australians in the coming days,” said Will Easton, managing director of Facebook Australia.

The social media firm sparked global outrage last week by blacking out news for its Australian users and inadvertently blocking a series of non-news Facebook pages linked to everything from cancer charities to emergency response services.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison had angrily accused Facebook of making a decision to “unfriend” Australia.

But the last minute compromise — as parliament looks set to pass the law this week — means that Facebook and Google, which was also targetted, will not be penalised so long as they reach some deals with local media firms to pay for news.

They will also get an additional two months to broker those agreements.

“We’re pleased that we’ve been able to reach an agreement with the Australian government and appreciate the constructive discussions we’ve had” said Easton.

– Precedent-setting –

The tech firms had fiercely opposed the legislation from the get-go, fearing it would create international precedent that would threaten their business models.

“There is no doubt that Australia has been a proxy battle for the world,” said Frydenberg.

In particular, the companies objected to rules that made negotiations with media companies mandatory and gave an independent Australian arbiter the right to impose a settlement.

Google was keen to avoid creating a precedent that platforms should pay anyone for links, something they could make their flagship search engine unworkable.

Facebook — which is much less reliant on news content — had said being forced to pay for news was simply not worth it.

“We have come to an agreement that will allow us to support the publishers we choose to, including small and local publishers,” said Facebook vice president for global news partnerships Campbell Brown.

Despite earlier threats to pull its services from Australia over the legislation, Google had already softened its stance and brokered deals worth millions of dollars with a host of local media companies, including the two largest: Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. and Nine Entertainment.

Facebook and Google still face the prospect of having to agree deals with media around the world, as the European Union, Canada and other jurisdictions move to regulate the sector.

Since their emergence around the turn of the century, Google and Facebook have been largely unregulated and have grown into two of the world’s largest and most profitable companies.

But a string of scandals about misinformation, privacy violations, data harvesting and their virtual monopoly on online advertising has triggered the attention of watchdogs.

For every $100 spent by Australian advertisers today, $49 goes to Google and $24 to Facebook, according to the country’s competition watchdog.

Critics of the law have said it is punishing successful companies and amounts to a money grab by struggling but politically connected traditional media.

They also lament that there is no requirement in the law that money gained by the media companies from Facebook and Google be spent on expanding public interest journalism rather than just boost profits.

Thousands of journalism jobs and scores of news outlets have been lost in Australia alone over the past decade as the sector watched advertising revenue flow to the digital players.

Niigata Prefecture, Japan hosts Facebook live event EXPLORING NIIGATA ONLINE with Cheesie vol.3 featuring popular influencer

February 8, 2021 by bizhub.vn

Niigata Prefecture welcomed an increasing number of travelers every year from 2017 through 2019, making the prefecture one of the most popular destinations in Japan. Since 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has restricted inbound visitors to Japan. Today, people still cannot visit Niigata Prefecture (chart on the below). 

Niigata Prefecture and Yuzawa Town are hosting a Facebook live event to provide people with the opportunity to explore Niigata online even if they cannot physically visit Niigata Prefecture.

 

EXPLORING NIIGATA ONLINE with Cheesie lets people explore sceneries, culture, seasons, and food in Niigata Prefecture, featuring Cheesie, one of the most popular influencers in Singapore and Japan tourism specialist. Held for the third time, this event includes live streaming from a ski resort in Yuzawa Town, Niigata Prefecture, known as one of the snowiest places in Japan, showcasing snow activities, making of Japanese traditional ‘soba’ noodles, ‘sake’ rice wines, and other attractive aspects of the snow resort.

Filming of Vol.1

A representative in Niigata Prefecture who planned this event said:

“Before tourists were restricted due to COVID-19, we had seen for several years significant growth in the number of visitors to Niigata Prefecture from Southeast Asia. Today, we cannot welcome tourists, but we understand that many people in Southeast Asia are looking forward to traveling to Japan when international travel restrictions are lifted. In such a situation, we will provide people with the opportunity, through Facebook Live and in collaboration with the influencer Cheesie, to find out about the sightseeing spots and other attractive aspects of Niigata. Through this, we create ties with people interested in visiting Niigata, hoping that many people in Southeast Asia become interested in visiting our prefecture when they can travel freely again.”
