Internet ad revenues are growing fast. But, even now, they make up only 4.5% of the global wholeHere, as recession ends, is a reality check on the global media ad market (courtesy of Nielsen). Revenues via the internet are up 32.4%, up 4.3% via TV and 5.1% on posters. But they're down 2.2% for newspapers and 1.1% on magazines (with radio and cinema also in negative territory). So, that's another familiar yarn about the march of the online battalions.Step back, though, and look at the whole cake, neatly sliced. TV, at 57.6%, is the king of the jungle.

But for perspective – shares in the real world – amid so much buoyant hype? Pass the rock cakes, please.BBC: play for todayThe BBC complaint of the moment, muttered into a coffee cup, has absolute resonance. Look (it says): please don't go on, and on, about Jimmy Savile some 40 years ago. Don't see the 60s and 70s as the day before yesterday. Don't put plump management payoffs and digital foul-ups into some current equation (whatever the recently departed DG says to his select committee audience on Monday on another quick trip from New York). Please stop obsessing about things past and concentrate on the... Continue reading at 'The Guardian'
