Quality

It is no secret that traditional press are suffering financially.
In France, many have joined a legal action against Google,
part of the Internet forces that profit from their content
without remuneration. Because the Internet does attract
a lot of (new) ad money.

I am no doubt part of this heartless crew because I link
to the press quite a bit. But then, I run free blog(s) on Google.
Just letting the pieces fall where they may...

There is a cheerier note in all this. Facebook is expected to
announce today that, henceforth, it will be buying quality
articles from the press - and spend millions doing so - to feed
a news service on its platform. 💫
