The News Media Alliance strongly condemns Google's announcement that, under the newly adopted European Union Copyright Directive, it will stop displaying previews of news articles in France unless a publisher waives its right to compensation. We stand strong with our global partners — including French Culture Minister Franck Riester — in asserting that this position is contrary to both the law and the interests of news consumers. Article 15 of the EU Copyright Directive, also known as the "Publishers' Right," empowers news publishers to protect their content online — including "snippets" and summaries — by asking for compensation from online platforms for use of their content.

Each year, we salute the newspaper carriers who are working hard to deliver the newspaper into the hands of our readers. This year, the newspaper industry has designated Saturday, October 12, 2019 as International Newspaper Carrier Day.

Audio stories have become a huge part of the news and storytelling ecosystem. Podcasts — the original 21st century audio storytelling method — are booming, and everyone seems to have a new show. In 2018, we saw the premiere of a slew of original podcasts, from regular news shows to short miniseries focused on a single newsworthy topic. We've seen podcasts tackling everything from breaking daily news to in-depth dialogue concerning historic issues to light and fresh takes on newsworthy topics. But no one can keep up with every new podcast that pops up. I've rounded up some of the best listens to help inspire you as you create your own podcasts in your newsrooms.

INMA
Several subtle but significant shifts were noted in discussions about the future of the news media business among industry leaders gathered in Hamburg for INMA's Reader Revenue Symposium.
For one, INMA may have to change this event's name moving forward. An increasing number of executives here preferred the term "consumer revenue" to reader revenue, and referred to a broader mix of income streams than just charging readers for access to content.

Great reporting and writing are the foundations of what we do. They combine to uncover widespread and unreported abuses, prompt government officials to take action and often, give voice to the forgotten.
In generations of journalism, that hasn't changed.
But a lot has.
Last month at the Society for Features Journalism's annual conference in Detroit, I, along with Poynter managing editor Barbara Allen, presented a talk about what you have to do to get your work the audience it deserves.

Ad blocking for audio has arrived. But the tech is in its infancy and poses little threat to a marketing channel where skipping an ad is already as easy as clicking a fast-forward button.
The product, Ad Block Radio, is the brainchild of Alexandre Storelli, a French software engineer, whose open-source software uses machine learning and acoustic-fingerprinting techniques, similar to the Shazam app, to detect and fast-forward through ads on audio streams.

U.S. adults are getting news from social media increasingly often — but they also think that the big platforms have too much control over the news they see and that this results in a "worse mix of news" for users, according to a study of 5,107 people from the Pew Research Center.
Both Democrats and Republicans are concerned about social media companies' power over the mix of news presented, but Republicans are significantly more skeptical.
