Media Brief

I'm the BBC's media correspondent and this is my brief selection of what's going on. Some content may need a subscription.

Apple's Steve Jobs has unseated Google's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, at the top of the annual MediaGuardian 100. The BBC's Mark Thompson is third, Rupert Murdoch fourth. Twitter founder Evan Williams comes in at fifth.

Peter Sissons has written to the Daily Telegraph saying Selina Scott is not alone in being treated badly by the BBC.

David Elstein says in The Times [subscription required] that Jeremy Hunt should not cut the licence fee, but replace it with subscription.

Janet Street-Porter says in the Daily Mail that the idea of Jeremy Hunt having a mandate to emasculate the BBC makes her blood boil:

The Guardian reports that The Times lost two-thirds of its internet readership in the first week it started charging, according to Experian Hitwise.

The BBC is introducing performance-related pay on Strictly Come Dancing, according to The Sunday Telegraph.

The first edition of Men's Hour on Radio 5 Live was never tear-jerking but was frank, according to Zoe Williams in the Guardian.

Andrew Billen says in The Times that Men's Hour was 'more bearable than Top Gear'.

The BBC Newspaper review says today's papers focus on David Cameron's Big Society.
