Newspapers find a common enemy: Google
Monday, April 6th, 2009
Having fought tooth-and-nail against each other for years, the world’s embattled newspaper groups appear suddenly to be brothers-in-arms against a common enemy: Google.
Last week The Guardian led the way with a submission to the Government’s Digital Britain report, claiming that the search giant was effectively pick-pocketing its content. “The argument has traditionally been that search engines and aggregators provide players like guardian.co.uk with traffic in return for the use of our content, and this is enough to make the relationship symbiotic and equal,” the submission stated. “However, there is a vast over-supply in the market of advertising inventory, and yields have come under severe downward pressure. As a result, the value of the traffic generated by search engines and aggregators has reduced significantly.”
E Ink: the future of newspapers?
Monday, September 8th, 2008
A video has gone up of Esquire’s lovely new E Ink cover, which you can see here. The promise of these things is immense. Imagine a newspaper with content that can be updated over the course of the day, so that the lead changes, stories are amended and breaking news is delivered to your morning newspaper.
Instead of buying a static newspaper for 60p, you buy 12 hours worth of news for £2. Then you go out and do it again tomorrow. It’s quite a cool idea, especially for folk like my dad, who buy their paper in the morning, read it at lunch and then probably won’t look at the news again until they get home from work and flick ITV on.
