    NEW YORK --

    ShootersNYC, the content creation division of ShootersINC., has signed editor Debbie McMurtrey. She joins a company roster which also includes editors Anthony Marinelli, Dave Bradley, and Mark Hutchinson, as well as a talent pool of editorial, design, visual effects, and post artisans within the Shooters family of companies.

    With hundreds of national and international commercial campaigns to her credit, McMurtrey has also found time to cut award-winning shorts and feature-length documentaries, TV show pilots, SNL parodies and web content. She launched her editing career at Crew Cuts in 1999, rising quickly through the ranks. She has since worked at Nomad, Cutting Room and most recently Red Car, New York.

    McMurtrey’s commercial projects have found her collaborating with such ad agencies as BBDO, The Martin Agency, Droga5, and client direct with Google. McMurtrey has just teamed once again with director-producer Greg Kohs, but this time on his new feature-length documentary, The Great Alone, which is about the four-time Iditarod champion Lance Mackey. McMurtrey has just completed around-the-clock work on the documentary, due out this year on the festival circuit, and is just now available to work again on commercial projects via Shooters.

    McMurtrey said she has been a fan of her new root for some time and “when it turned out that Greg was editing his documentary here at Shooters, and he wanted me for the project, all the stars sort of lined up for us all to collaborate. I couldn’t be happier being part of the team here at Shooters, which has so much to offer in terms of creative talent.”

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
