Peter Bale - Scoop as a model; mad French fine in Google: more curated media, journalism, and related technology news
I don't know this chap but he is consistently both funny and cutting. I worked alongside Boris at one stage and he was an appalling confector of twaddle. The description of the UK political press is spot on. A colleague in the Lobby once told me I was asking "a question too far".
Tech company must come up with proposals for how it would compensate agencies for use of their news
As my mate Ben Evans pointed out on Twitter, this is effectively the market cap of all the publications involved. If this sort of nonsense is happening then Google should remove news from its services in France. So there. The idea Google or Facebook "stole" advertising from media is insane. They came up with a better mousetrap.
Good job. This group has shown what a committed non-profit can do to create high-quality journalism that is campaigning but still discernibly done to high standards of impartiality.
No idea Facebook won't plagiarise.
I find this interesting given some of the things I am working on about access to news and what subscriptions do. We are losing a golden age of access and I respect those still trying to adhere to keeping it open but it is getting harder and harder to just share links to great information.
Good. We could learn much from the difficulty of bringing any defamation action in the United States. As you may know, in Australia even truth is not a complete defence in several states.
So not reassured by this but it rings true along with similar claims in the new Michael Wolff book. Milley is clearly laundering his own reputation and his adolescent comment about "we're the guys with guns" is ghastly.
No one quits Facebook. It is too big. Too big to be regulated. Too big to fail and too big for Mark Z to manage. It's out of control and will stay that way.
Say anything you'd like, Mr. Trump! This is Fox News.
Were this not so serious it would be hilarious. Maria was a terrific financial journalist who popularised the markets at a critical moment. She's now an enabler of the worst kind of lies. As is her employer.
