It's being touted as "a new integration that will enhance audience measurement capabilities and increase accessibility to Advanced Audiences." That's the result of an expanded relationship between audience measurement leader Nielsen and TransUnion.

Some news organizations are calling it a "power grab" by the White House. Talk of court challenges has already emerged.

Now, Weil and Oberg have an agreement in place that expands Weil's Civic Media to the land of 10,000 lakes.
