How to Sponsor a Podcast
Directions Media will produce an "advertorial" podcast on your behalf during which we will record an audio interview of your selected staff member(s) on topics of your choice. We will work with you to decide on appropriate topics and themes. This podcast, which will be clearly identified as advertorial in nature, will be highlighted in our sponsor section on our website. At completion, you own the podcast. We encourage you to use internal means to get the word out about the podcast, which can be used as part of your marketing material or Web-based promotions. Production of the podcast includes staging the audio, introductory music, editing, advertising in our newsletters and hosting in our sponsor section of Directions Magazine. We will work with your team on the broadcast, and archive the podcast for a six-month period. We can deliver the final edited version of the podcast to you and you are welcome to host the podcast wherever might be appropriate for your purposes. For details on cost, scheduling and planning, contact us at ads@directionsmag.com.

Last August, John Graham took the helm of Intergraph's Security, Government and Infrastructure Division (SG&I), which provides geospatial technology products and services. Graham spoke to Editor in Chief Joe Francica about his evaluation of the worldwide geospatial marketplace as he looks to restructure his division to work with a more global perspective. He also commented on the competitive landscape in the GIS sector, as well as how the company continues to see opportunity in spite of the current economic downturn.
Is it time for a global licensing framework for geospatial data? The GSDI Legal and Economic Working group thinks so and offered a presentation and a way forward at the GSDI 13 conference held in Quebec City in May. The effort aims to harmonize existing licensing without changing fundamental access policies and funding models and be compatible with the diferences in national legal systems. That's a tall order, but an important one as the world moves toward geodata sharing. Geoff Zeiss reports.
