The State of the News: Texas
THE STATE OF THE NEWS: TEXAS GOOGLE’S NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE JOURNALISM INDUSTRY #SaveJournalism #SaveJournalism EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Antitrust investigators are ﬁnally focusing on the anticompetitive practices of Google. Both the Department of Justice and a coalition of attorneys general from 48 states and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico now have the tech behemoth squarely in their sights. Yet, while Google’s dominance of the digital advertising marketplace is certainly on the agenda of investigators, it is not clear that the needs of one of the primary victims of that dominance—the journalism industry—are being considered. That must change and change quickly because Google is destroying the business model of the journalism industry. As Google has come to dominate the digital advertising marketplace, it has siphoned off advertising revenue that used to go to news publishers. The numbers are staggering. News publishers’ advertising revenue is down by nearly 50 percent over $120B the last seven years, to $14.3 billion, $100B while Google’s has nearly tripled $80B to $116.3 billion. If ad revenue for $60B news publishers declines in the $40B next seven years at the same rate $20B as the last seven, there will be $0B practically no ad revenue left and the journalism industry will likely 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 disappear along with it. The revenue crisis has forced more than 1,700 newspapers to close or merge, the end of daily news coverage in 2,000 counties across the country, and the loss of nearly 40,000 jobs in America’s newsrooms.

How to Get Your Website Added to Google News and Drive Real Time Traffic
How to Get Your Website Added to Google News and Drive Real Time Traffic ● Let’s look at some of the best practices for getting added to Google News and how you can get real-time traffic. Adhere to the Principles of Good Journalism ● If you look at recent additions to the Google News syndication platform, you’ll notice that Google is no longer 100% focused on news-related “current events”- type content. ● It’s evolved over the years, leveling the playing field for bloggers, content creators and news media experts. This evolution may not be obvious from the headlines, but the content reveals this expansion. ● However, the principles of good journalism haven’t been discarded. Google still cares about the style and substance of articles. Good journalism is all about being honest and as objective as possible. ● Why do you think Google crawls, indexes and publishes content from CNN, BBC, Techcrunch, The Wall Street Journal and others? ● One of the reasons is because these sites adhere to strict standard journalism practices. They’re transparent and they adhere to the same professional standard. ● Your reporting must be original, honest and well-structured. Standard journalism is all about investigation. So, you should be able and ready to investigate a story and authenticate it, before reporting it. ● For your story to strike a chord with editors, who will in turn syndicate it at Google News, PBS recommends that you present information from the most to the least important content points. ● There’s an established application process to get your stories featured on Google News.

What Do News Aggregators Do? Evidence from Google News in Spain and Germany*
What Do News Aggregators Do? Evidence from Google News in Spain and Germany* Joan Calzada† Ricard Gil‡ December 2018 Abstract The impact of aggregators on news outlets is ambiguous. In particular, the existing theoretical literature highlights that although aggregators create a market expansion effect when they bring visitors to news outlets, they also generate a substitution effect if some visitors switch from the news outlets to the aggregators. Using the shutdown of the Spanish edition of Google News in December of 2014 and difference-in-differences methodology, this paper empirically examines the relevance of these two effects. We show the shutdown of Google News in Spain decreased the number of daily visits to Spanish news outlets between 8% and 14%, and that this effect was larger in outlets with less overall daily visits and a lower share of international visitors. We also find evidence suggesting that the shutdown decreased online advertisement revenues and advertising intensity at news outlets. We then analyze the effect of the opt-in policy adopted by the German edition of Google News in October of 2014. Although such policy did not significantly affect the daily visits of all outlets that opted out, it reduced by 8% the number of visits of the outlets controlled by the publisher Axel Springer. Our results demonstrate the existence of a net market-expansion effect through which news aggregators increase consumers' awareness of news outlets' contents, thereby increasing their number of visits. * We thank Shane Greenstein, Avi

We offer it to the public with the permission of Professor Schmidt. Google Data Collection Professor Douglas C. Schmidt, Vanderbilt University August 15, 2018 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Google is the world’s largest digital advertising company.1 It also provides the #1 web browser,2 the #1 mobile platform,3 and the #1 search engine4 worldwide. Google’s video platform, email service, and map application have over 1 billion monthly active users each.5 Google utilizes the tremendous reach of its products to collect detailed information about people’s online and real-world behaviors, which it then uses to target them with paid advertising. Google’s revenues increase significantly as the targeting technology and data are refined. 2. Google collects user data in a variety of ways. The most obvious are “active,” with the user directly and consciously communicating information to Google, as for example by signing in to any of its widely used applications such as YouTube, Gmail, Search etc. Less obvious ways for Google to collect data are “passive” means, whereby an application is instrumented to gather information while it’s running, possibly without the user’s knowledge. Google’s passive data gathering methods arise from platforms (e.g. Android and Chrome), applications (e.g.

Adding Realtime Coverage to the Google Knowledge Graph
Adding Realtime Coverage to the Google Knowledge Graph Thomas Steiner1?, Ruben Verborgh2, Raphaël Troncy3, Joaquim Gabarro1, and Rik Van de Walle2 1 Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – Department lsi, Spain {tsteiner,gabarro}@lsi.upc.edu 2 Ghent University – IBBT, ELIS – Multimedia Lab, Belgium {ruben.verborgh,rik.vandewalle}@ugent.be 3 EURECOM, Sophia Antipolis, France [email protected] Abstract. In May 2012, the Web search engine Google has introduced the so-called Knowledge Graph, a graph that understands real-world entities and their relationships to one another. Entities covered by the Knowledge Graph include landmarks, celebrities, cities, sports teams, buildings, movies, celestial objects, works of art, and more. The graph enhances Google search in three main ways: by disambiguation of search queries, by search log-based summarization of key facts, and by explo- rative search suggestions. With this paper, we suggest a fourth way of enhancing Web search: through the addition of realtime coverage of what people say about real-world entities on social networks. We report on a browser extension that seamlessly adds relevant microposts from the social networking sites Google+, Facebook, and Twitter in form of a panel to Knowledge Graph entities. In a true Linked Data fashion, we inter- link detected concepts in microposts with Freebase entities, and evaluate our approach for both relevancy and usefulness. The extension is freely available, we invite the reader to reconstruct the examples of this paper to see how realtime opinions may have changed since time of writing. 1 Introduction With the introduction of the Knowledge Graph, the search engine Google has made a signiﬁcant paradigm shift towards “things, not strings” [3], as a post on the oﬃcial Google blog states.
