Net-linx Americas announces the signing of an agreement with Brazil's “Os Diários Associados”, for the group-wide implementation of the AdVision Advertising System and the Dateline Editorial system.
Os Diários Associados is one of the largest media companies in Brazil and publishes newspapers such as: “O Estado de Minas”, “Diário da Tarde”, “Correio Brasiliense”, “Diário de Pernambuco” and “Jornal do Comércio”, all of which will be implementing the AdVision and Dateline systems.
The agreement signed between the companies will first see the implementation of Dateline systems at the “O Correio Brasiliense”, “Diário de Pernambuco” and “Jornal do Comércio”, bring them onto the same technology platform as “O Estado de Minas” and “Diário da Tarde”, who already run the Dateline system.
The project will start by upgrading the exiting AdVision advertising system at “O Estado de Minas” and “Diário da Tarde”, after that the installation team moves to new system implementation at “O Correio Brasiliense” and “Diário de Pernambuco”.
With the signing of the agreement, Os Diários Associados are making a significant investment in the integration of the group across the entire country.
Associados' editorial groups have responded enthusiastically. Josimar Gimenez, editorial manager for "O Estado de Minas" and "O Correio Brasiliense", said “The group-wide integration will have huge benefits and we will be able to share editorial content much more efficiently now, with substantial improvement for our users”.
The advertising departments share a similar enthusiasm. Paulo César, advertising director of "O Correio Brasiliense," and Mário Neves, advertising director for "O Estado de Minas," believe that the improvements will increase the aggregate value of Associados’ products.
A common advertising selling platform throughout the group will allow the advertising directors to work together more closely. The economies of scale will bring benefits such as reduction of costs, increased cross-selling opportunities and will generally improve the ad selling processes.
The visionary behind the agreement is Mr. Guilherme Machado, CIO of Associados.
“We are very satisfied with the agreement with net-linx because it will allow the Group to integrate and improve its use of publishing systems. It allows us to reorganize and integrate the IT department, giving us the efficiencies to pursue future projects such as integrated newsrooms, sharing of content and a unified management. Without doubt, this will all be a great advance,” he said.
Net-linx Brazil continues with a serious commitment of establishing a strong presence in the Brazilian market. “We are very enthusiastic about the agreement with the “Diários Associados” said Allan Katzen, Vice President of Business Development.
“Associados has a vision that has immediate benefits today, but they are also positioned to pursue the nxEditorial and nxAdvertising later on. We are delighted that Associados has selected net-linx as their partner in this prestigious project” he said.

The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area. 
The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy. 
On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil. 
Some sectors of the fight against AIDS have suggested that Thabo Mbeki, the former president of South Africa, committed genocide through his absence from the fight against the illness in his country throughout his two terms. 
One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber. Some of them, most undocumented Bolivians, work in basements of small apparel factories in São Paulo and other metropolis. 
On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking. 
Depletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse. 
Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose. 
The push of vigilante groups in Rio de Janeiro's favelas (shantytowns) in the last three years is the most important and alarming information of the just-released study by the Rio de Janeiro University's Violence Research Center (Nupev-Uerj). 
A dispute over drug trafficking territory in Rio de Janeiro has intensified lately, leaving in its wake unprecedented acts of violence, such as the downing of a police helicopter in the northern zone of the city on October 17. Three policemen died and another two were injured. This event has drawn the attention of the international media, who are raising the issue of public security for the 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio.
