Contrary to what Google is claiming in its public relations campaign, "Together for Copyright," the changes Google is lobbying for to the European Union's proposed Copyright Directive would have detrimental effects on the availability of—and your access to—high-quality online news and information in Europe. Why would Google launch such a coordinated effort against a relatively obscure piece of legislation? The Copyright Directive includes a clause (known as Article 11) that would create a so-called Publishers' Right, which would finally grant European publishers the right to protect their original content online. This is a basic right that other creative industries, including film and music, already have in the EU. Currently, online platforms such as Google and other corporate businesses can use—and make money from—publishers' online news content every day, paying the publishers nothing.

The news media industry saw a lot of changes and challenges in 2018. We faced new battles on Capitol Hill, like the fight against newsprint tariffs and the push for an antitrust safe harbor for news publishers. At the same time, we had to contend with an extremely hostile political environment and a digital ecosystem that continues to favor dominant giants and disfavor quality content. But looking forward to 2019, I think it is pretty easy to see that it is shaping up to be an absolutely pivotal year that may well determine the strategic landscape for news publishing for many years to come.

Encountering a random selection of high-end publications online, you might not think they had much in common. For example, The Ringer is a sports-centric website; Vox is a politics-explainer behemoth; and Funny or Die is a decidedly non-journalistic viral-comedy-video producer. And yet, although they don't appear particularly alike in their visual or editorial outlook, they all run on the same publishing technology.

The world of programmatic advertising has advanced so rapidly that it is sometimes practically impossible to figure out what the key pieces are to deploying a successful strategy. The pace at which all of the actors evolve and change requires constant adaptation. There are no magic formulas to determine what factors lead to the optimal outcome. But if publishers think like advertisers, they can better understand what their needs are and act accordingly.

What is the biggest benefit of paying for online news? Digital publishing firm Twipe surveyed nearly 4,000 people from six European countries and the U.S., and found that the most-cited reason for paying is unlimited access to stories. Most of the people surveyed also spend between 5 and 20 minutes per day consuming news, so it's not as if they're reading everything they have access to, but the "all you can eat" feeling is appealing.
