AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Streaming Business: Netflix plans to cut about 1,000 jobs, around 6% of its workforce, amid mounting competition for viewers and pressure to sustain growth. Ad-Tech Under Fire: An Israeli ad-tech firm allegedly delivered spyware through targeted ads to at least 45 devices on Al Jazeera’s network. The broadcaster is seeking an independent investigation, and some ad firms are cutting ties. Media Deals: The UK government is considering intervention in Sky’s proposed £1.6 billion purchase of ITV, while Ofcom has warned that a UAE-backed Telegraph bid could threaten press freedom. Press Freedom: Turkey’s takeover of opposition broadcaster Halk TV has escalated, with four people jailed pending trial and senior journalists resigning. In Pakistan, new rules bar live TV coverage of attacks and require reliance on government-verified information, drawing warnings of censorship.
