Prince Harry's decision to attack the British press for introducing "racial overtones" into the reporting of his relationship with an American actress was made because he had never before witnessed such a "degree of pressure, scrutiny and harassment" from the media.

Initial reaction on the stock market shows investors do not believe there will be a significant impact on global advertising. In early trading the share price of WPP is no more volatile than usual, falling just 1.6% to GBP16.98 as of 9am UK time. It was a similar picture at French groups Publicis, down 1.6% to EUR59.41, and Havas, which is unchanged at EUR7.17.

Facebook has been forced to end a hugely controversial data-sharing agreement with WhatsApp. The decision would have seen WhatsApp hand out information on all of its users to Facebook, allowing the latter to use data about people's chats to inform its advertising. It would also have allowed companies to send WhatsApp's offers to people based on things they have bought on Facebook.

More than 77% of content shared via mobile takes place on messaging apps, according to research by RadiumOne, but consumers need a compelling reason to interact with brands in an environment they do not consider to be public. This channel is sometimes referred to as "dark social," as people share content out of general view.

When a major world event is taking place, it's only natural to turn to Google to find out more information about what's going on. So it's no surprise that, ahead of the U.S. election this week, search volume around the two main presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, has rocketed. What may come as more of a surprise is what people in Europe are actually searching for.

"The tabloids have labeled Impress, the newly-recognised press regulator, "mine". Of course this is nonsense. A glance at the Press Recognition Panel website shows that. Our family charity has put up money but has absolutely no influence over Impress. It is completely independent. My family's support for Impress is a public service, that's why it's charitable."

The Walt Disney Studios passes its own box office record with over $6.07bn this year thus far, with two months left to count thanks to big box office hits such as "Captain America: Civil War," "Finding Dory," "Zootopia" and "The Jungle Book." In 2015, Disney had its biggest year-to-date with $5.851bn. Industry-wide, this is only the second time that a studio has passed $6bn.

ITV has joined forces with Havas ahead of today's monumental U.S. presidential election by building a custom artificial intelligence platform to help gauge the mood of Americans before official results begin to pour in. EagleAi is claimed to be the first AI system to be developed for television news and will sift through a morass of unstructured data to glean insights that humans may have missed.

Channel 5 has reported a rise in pre-tax profits of almost 50% as shows including "Celebrity Big Brother" and "The X-Files" helped it improve ratings against ITV and Channel 4. It is the first time that Channel 5 has reported back-to-back years of profitability in its 20-year history. Pre-tax profit soared to GBP58.9m, compared with GBP39.5m in the year to September 2015.

Virgin Media has launched its first 4G tariffs, the last major UK network to offer high-speed mobile Internet plans. The network said it would "zero-rate" both WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, so using the apps would not count toward customers' data usage. However, the apps will stop working if customers use up their data allowance by other means, to stay within EU net neutrality rules.
