    DALLAS --

    Republic Editorial has added editor Jaime Valdueza to its roster. Valdueza, who’s spent the last 16 years cutting films and commercials in Los Angeles, looks to help boost Dallas-based Republic Editorial further into the booming Latin market. 

    A native of Madrid, Valdueza got his start in the U.S. as the founder of Module Zero Media, a postproduction house in Venice, Calif., in 1998.  Teaming up with agencies such as J. Walter Thompson and Campbell-Ewald, he received numerous awards at Cannes, San Sebastian and other shows in the U.S. and abroad.

    After Module Zero Media, Valdueza took his talents to Lost Planet, where he worked under editor Hank Corwin. Valdueza has collaborated with directors such as Antony Hoffman, Andy Fogwill, Rob Pritts and Alfredo de Villa, and was most recently represented by Cutters in Santa Monica.

    In addition to his commercial work, Valdueza has features under his belt, including his most recent, Anna, the Studio Canal thriller produced by Jaume Collet Serra which was released this past June. Valdueza’s credits also include Fugly, a comedy written by and starring John Leguizamo, which was directed by Alfredo De Villa.

    “What I love about Jaime is his wide range of scope as an editor,” said Republic Editorial’s partner/sr. editor Keith James. “He’s able to tell many types of narrative, from comedy to drama, in both long and short formats.”

    Valdueza said he was drawn to Republic editorial “because they had such a great reputation in the Latino advertising community. Dallas is a hot bed for Latin work, and having a shop that’s intricately connected to the key players in town is exciting.”

    Valdueza joins Republic Editorial’s team of editors which includes James, Chris Gipson, Keith James, Patrick Hammond and Andy McGee.  Working with the company’s turn-key postproduction team of finishing, motion-graphics and visual effects artists, they’ve generated award-winning work in both general and Latin markets for such clients as McDonald’s, AT&T, Nissan, 7-Eleven and Charter Communications. Carrie Callaway is partner/managing director of Republic.




    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
