It's the week's best media, marketing and digital news straight from the mouths of those making the headlines...

Stephen Fry (briefly) quits Twitter after facing criticism for comments he is alleged to have made about female sexuality.

"The idea is not to be ideological about any one model but to learn things each time. The US is a newer market for us and obviously we haven't sold as many apps there as in the UK. We think we can do better and are interested in looking at an ad-funded, free app in the US and using the model to increase reach."
Guardian.co.uk editor Janine Gibson explains the paper's decision to introduce subscription charges for its iPhone app in the UK - but not in the US.

"I can't believe he is talking about hard choices this week because who has he chosen to put on the civil service payroll this week? His own personal photographer. There's good news for the Prime Minister - apparently he does a nice line in airbrushing."
Labour leader Ed Milliband takes a pop at David Cameron for putting his personal photographer on the public payroll.

"We need to be able to move away from the ratings rat race we are caught in. We are driven to look for mass audiences, so it in a sense drives us to the lowest common denominator."
ITV chairman Archie Norman makes a candid assessment of the broadcaster's own schedules.

"I think if Ali G gets to hear about this, he'll have a real laugh at us doing something so silly."
Anne Damerell, secretary of the Staines Town Society, blasts the Surrey town's idea of effectively 'rebranding' itself to escape Ali G.

"We are very pleased by the response to our new digital services. These figures very clearly show that large numbers of people are willing to pay for quality journalism in digital formats."

"In the developed world, newspapers are in the process of becoming extinct, driven by rapidly changing use of media and revenues out of line with cost structures. There'll be a transition of what newspapers currently do to other channels of various kinds."
Australian futurist Ross Dawson predicts that UK newspapers will die out in 2019.

"I've always had it in the back of my mind to work in the UK. Both my parents are English and I have dual nationality. To be honest, even though I was brought up in Australia, I grew up on The Two Ronnies, toad-in-the-hole and FA Cup Finals."
McCann Erickson Birmingham's new executive creative director, Vince McSweeney, says he'll fit right in at the Solihull agency after moving from Sydney.

"I really enjoyed working with the guys at McCanns, they’re a great bunch, but it was never a permanent move. What I've been building up is working direct for clients.”

"This was an unusual lapse in standards by the broadcaster and, most critically, the World Service. It was Michael Buerk's frontline reports for the BBC from Ethiopia which prompted me to act and establish Band Aid in the first place and I recognise the important journalistic and humanitarian role the BBC has played in our story."
