Today, House Antitrust Chairman David Cicilline (D-RI) and Representative Doug Collins (R-GA), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced the "Journalism Competition and Preservation Act," to the buoyant applause of the News Media Alliance. The bill would provide a limited safe harbor for news publishers to collectively negotiate with Facebook and Google for better business arrangements. News Media Alliance President & CEO David Chavern said, "This is a great day for newsrooms across our nation. We are grateful to Chairman Cicilline and Ranking Member Collins for their commitment to quality journalism and we look forward to news publishers having some relief from the platforms that currently regulate who receives our content and how much we are paid."

Facebook appears to be mounting something of a charm offensive lately. A commitment to fund journalism to the tune of about $300 million over the next three years was followed by an op-ed from CEO Mark Zuckerberg in The Washington Post suggesting ways in which the giant social network could (and should) be regulated. Then, the Facebook co-founder revealed in an interview with Mathias Döpfner, the CEO of German publisher Axel Springer, that he is considering paying news publishers for their content.

There's a lot to evaluate about Apple's new News Plus subscription service, including if it's a good deal for the media business and forecasting how much of an existential threat it poses to an already at-risk industry. But inherent to those debates is whether iOS users actually use the service and find enough value in it to pay for it in the long run. Does it provide a decent user experience, and is it worth the $10-a-month subscription fee, considering it doesn't offer you a whole lot of actual hard news?

Look past the view of the 105. Beyond it is the unfolding of the 21st century, delayed but now in full force at the Los Angeles Times.
That's my big takeaway from a visit to Patrick Soon-Shiong's new temple to next-stage journalism. Last summer, he moved his just-purchased L.A. Times (whose lease was expiring) to one of the sprawling L.A.'s least glamorous addresses: 2300 E. Imperial Highway, El Segundo, CA 90245.

For newspapers and magazine publishers, growing paid digital subscriptions has become a nearly unanimous pick as an essential tool for rebuilding the business model. Unfortunately, a counter-trend is rapidly forming as consumers take a hard look at how much they are paying monthly for a wide range of subscriptions and whether that adds up to household budget-buster.

U.S. local digital advertising is expected to climb 9.2% this year to $77 billion, according to Borrell Associates — rising as a percentage of all U.S. local advertising to a 63% share.
In 2018, the local ad research consultancy says digital had a 53% share of the $126.3 billion total U.S. local ad market — $67.4 billion.
Much of this digital ad activity comes from "pure-play" digital media companies — $57.1 billion — with $10.3 billion from traditional media companies.

The world of marketing used to consist of established brands and everyone else. The established brands spent heavily in traditional media to maintain and grow their markets, which were served by brick and mortar retailers. Everyone else chipped around the edges using direct mail, newspaper inserts and cheap late-night TV spots for direct response and relied more on warehouses than retail storefronts.

Last week, Google announced it would partner with McClatchy to fund three, new local news entities in communities of less than 500,000 people. This marks a change in how quickly the news business is being absorbed into the fringes of large technology businesses. For the first time, a major technology company is working directly with news executives to set up a local news operation, which it proposes to fund.

Automated content has been a topic for years but it is still quite rare to find examples of media organisations who are employing it successfully, with some notable exceptions.
Sweden-based United Robots use bots to analyse and automate large datasets, and produce content on sports, property, local business and breaking news, with around 2,000 stories pushed out to its Nordic partners every day.

Bill Mullen, a fashion stylist and illustrator, wants you to know that he used to wear a belt made out of teeth, skulls on every finger and cataracts of crosses, his exotic turnout once spurring a stranger to bellow, "Go for it, space monkey, go for it."
