Media Tenor, the leading international media research and analysis company with offices in eight countries, has taken over the administration and financial management of Mediachannel from Globalvision Inc, the company that created and has produced the unique internationally-oriented media watchdog and news network since Feb 2000.

The site will continue as a not-for-profit under the auspices of the IRS certified International Center for Global Communications Foundation Inc (The Global Center) with offices at 575 8th Avenue, New York 10018.

?Media Tenor has been one of the Mediachannel?s 700 affiliates since our formation,? explains Mediachannel.org editor Danny Schechter, "and is known for the excellence of its research, its high integrity and global reach. They are scholarly, professional and business oriented and will be able to attract resources to enhance our marketing and distribution. We are pleased that they are taking the baton and are committed to enhancing Mediachannel.org?s global outreach to more than two million monthly readers.?

Founded 1993 by Roland Schatz, author of books, reports and publications, and other media scholars, Media Tenor has hundreds of employees and partnerships with univer-sities, governments, NGOs and corporate clients worldwide: www.mediatenor.com

?We are proud to have been chosen to take Mediachannel?s work into a new era," says Schatz. ?We believe we can help strengthen its prestige and stabilize its operations while bringing advanced media monitoring and a truly international perspective enlarging its readers in the media, universities, governments and the public at large.?

Media Tenor will continue an association with Globalvision. Globalvision?s David DeGraw will remain as technical director, while Globalvision?s Danny Schechter and Rory O?Connor will remain contributors and bloggers. Media Tenor will announce its additional editorial plans March 2008 ? after the launch of the international Dialog report of the World Economic Forum.

?The Global Center will remain the owner of Mediachannel.org,? explains Center President Rory O?Connor. ?Consistent with our mission, we will continue to serve the public interest and we look forward to working together. Funding a not for profit independent media project is more difficult than ever and we are confident that Media Tenor will enable Mediachannel to survive and prosper.?
