Tech overlords Google and Facebook have used monopoly to rob journalism of its revenue
Joanne Lipman, Opinion contributors Published 9:31 a.m. ET June 11, 2019. USA Today
Tech giants Google and Facebook have robbed the news media of its advertising revenue. Congress must act to preserve a fair and independent press.
Over the past decade, the news business has endured a bloodbath, with tens of thousands of journalists losing their jobs amid mass layoffs.
The irony is, more people than ever are consuming news. There’s never been a greater need for factual reporting, from the White House down to the local school board.
Why the disconnect? Look no further than a new study by the News Media Alliance, which found that in 2018, Google made $4.7 billion off of news content — almost as much as every news organization in America combined made from digital ads last year. Yet Google paid a grand total of zero for the privilege. News industry revenue, meanwhile, has plunged.
Google and others, including a number of journalists, dispute the calculation by the News Media Alliance, which represents 2,000 publishers of primarily local newspapers. But the fact remains: Google and Facebook command about 60% of all U.S. digital advertising revenue, and have siphoned off billions of dollars that once were the lifeblood, of the news media.
