The Communication Research Institute has put product information back on the agenda as the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), in Australia, has made it mandatory that a risk management plan be developed for all new pharmaceutical products as part of the approval process which allows a product to be released into the market. This follows similar changes to regulation within the European market.
Professor David Sless, CEO of the Communication Research Institute, said today, "One of the biggest risks that any organisation faces is that customers, or key users of a product or service, fail to understand the information they are given because it is so poor in quality that no one can understand it, let alone use it appropriately."

NBC's program, Today, has opened its annual wedding competition to allow gay couples to enter for the first time in the competition's eleven year history. The program invites its viewers to act as wedding planners ,choosing what the winning couple will wear, where they will honeymoon and who will ultimately win a wedding at the Rockefeller Plaza.
The controversial move came as a federal judge in Boston ruled part of the Defense of Marriage Act, within the US, as unconstitutional. The theme of the competition this year is 'modern love' and the show's move to include gay couples has created a lively debate, including this letter to the Los Angeles Times by community commentator, Andrew Heslop.
He writes,"The decision by the NBC Today Show to allow same-sex couples to enter the program's annual wedding contest is both landmark and revolutionary. It's also not unexpected from a show that has been a consistent leader since its inception.

Sky News, known for their constant tickers and captioning, airing the response speech by Opposition Leader,Tony Abbott, today, reflecting his comments as large captions as he made them. Shame that captioning doesn't provide a real context for what is being said. This sends a very strange unconscious message which is almost hypnotic.
