"..Google will also offer to pay for free access for users to read paywalled articles on a publisher’s site. This will let paywalled publishers grow their audiences and open an opportunity for people to read content they might not ordinarily see."https://t.co/bukMbGthuF

Regulators globally have been threatening Google with broad-based policies that would force it to pay publishers on policymakers' terms. Now, Google’s getting ahead of that threat by introducing its own payout terms, while strengthening its relationship with embattled publishers. https://t.co/e97Itozj3z

If what we know about Facebook News is anything to go by, this might result in a some welcome incremental revenue for small number of big publishers in big markets, and very little for small publishers and publishers in small markets.

I'd love to see details on, e.g. (1) $$$ involved, (2) basis on which it is paid, and (3) number of publishers expected to enroll over time (e.g. comScore tracks 596 news publishers in Germany alone, how many will be paid?).

After all the negative news of late here's something positive. Publishers, take note.

Of course, we'll see how this works out in practice. In particular, I'm concerned over Google getting to decide which "select publishers" are worthy of being paid. https://t.co/8ulXXbqPdV

Google says it will start paying some news publishers for "high-quality content." It marks a change of direction from Google, which has for years fended off demands from news outlets to pay for distributing their work. More here: https://t.co/ipaiMviNBy

After years of resisting demands from publishers, Google announced 3 licensing deals to pay for news. Important to note this comes only after global regulators took action, and none of these deals include the US. The battle is far from over. @savethenews https://t.co/big9H85VKC
