Here’s the latest 4MR audio report from MediaShift. In this week’s edition, I look at Google’s recent move to stop censoring its site in China and instead redirect traffic to its uncensored Hong Kong site. Google is also running real-time search results and asking Congress to punish countries that filter the Net, but will the move backfire?

I ask Just One Question to Susan Currie Sivek about how the iPad will change the magazine business.
