The EU Copyright Directive includes Article 11, also known as the Publishers' Right, which would allow news publishers to copyright their content, a fundamental right currently afforded to news publishers in the U.S. The global news industry wholeheartedly supports this endeavor and supports passage of the EU Parliament's version of Article 11 in the current negotiations leading up to an EU vote in early 2019. We've put together a resource that addresses common myths about Article 11 with the facts about the proposed law, what it does and does not do, and to whom it applies.

On August 29, when the International Trade Commission (ITC) announced a negative finding on newsprint tariffs, reversing the Department of Commerce's decision earlier this year, newspaper publishers felt like they had won the World Series. They lobbied hard to end the tariffs, taking their argument not only to their readers (through editorials and op-eds), but to Congress, the U.S. Department of Commerce and the ITC. Through countless hours of hard work, American newspaper publishers had claimed victory. After the confetti and rounds of congratulations for everyone's hard work, publishers began looking around for that World Series trophy, which in this case would be lower newsprint prices. But they were nowhere to be found.

"For the first time media is the least trusted institution globally," Edelman, the global PR and marketing firm, concluded in its annual worldwide study on trust in institutions like the media, business and government.
These international findings are in line with recent data coming out of the U.S. A 2016 Gallup poll reported that just 32 percent of Americans trusted the mass media, while an Ipsos poll from summer 2018 found that nearly one-third of Americans agreed that the news media is the "enemy of the people."

Monday Note via Medium
No one knows exactly how much money Google spends to support the news media. I'm not even sure that someone even bothered to do the math internally (I tried to find out, to no avail).
My rough estimate would put it above the half-billion dollar mark over the last six years. I'm factoring the approximate 100 product managers involved, at some point, in news-related products and the teams working with them in nearly every division of the company: search, ad, architecture, mobile, etc.
