S4C should demand the time and space to decide how best it can serve the needs of its audience. It should focus its resources on making vital programming that reflects Wales culturally, socially and politically. Since 1982 ITV has abandoned its role as a regional broadcaster and BBC Wales makes fewer programmes that represent Wales and its people in the authentic way that used to be the case.

In defence of arts funding
On the Guardian theatre blog, Guild member Sarah Grochala urges people to join the campaign against arts funding cuts.
We are all busy, but if we focus too exclusively on individual battles, there is a danger we will lose the overall war. The DCMS's four-year plan implies a slow death for the Arts Council. As much as we might grumble about ACE from time to time, surely none of us want to see its demise. Events such as Cut Off might not offer any new perspective on the current situation but they serve to remind us that our voices are strongest when we speak out as a community. Together we should be able to collect enough signatures to instigate a Commons debate on the arts. It may not change anything, but it's worth a shot.You can sign the Save the Arts petition here.
In bed with John and Yoko
For BBC News, Guild member and TV Committee Chair, Gail Renard, shares memories of meeting John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969.Gail's new book about her week with John and Yoko, Give Me A Chance, is published by Walker Books.

Google ebooks launches in America
By Charles Arthur in The Guardian
Google is launching its long-expected web-based ebook offering, now renamed Google eBooks, in the US from today and says it aims to bring it to other countries next year.Here's the story on the Official Google Blog, with the video below.
The launch means that there are now three big players – Amazon, Apple and Google – in the ebook market, with the latter two having only just joined this year. Apple launched into the market with its iBooks offering for its iPad tablet in April.
Previously known as Google Editions, the new platform will be web-based but incorporate various technologies to prevent piracy.
Google says that it will "make it easier for writers to find new audiences for their books, and for readers to find, buy, and read books on most devices."
