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.

Juror Misconduct in the Digital Age
GOOGLE, GADGETS, AND GUILT: JUROR MISCONDUCT IN THE DIGITAL AGE THADDEUS HOFFMEISTER* This Article begins by examining the traditional reasons for juror research. The Article then discusses how the Digital Age has created new rationales for juror research while simultaneously affording jurors greater opportunities to conduct such research. Next, the Article examines how technology has also altered juror-to-juror communications and juror-to-non-juror communications. Part I concludes by analyzing the reasons jurors violate court rules about discussing the case. In Part II, the Article explores possible steps to limit the negative impact of the Digital Age on juror research and communications. While no single solution or panacea exists for these problems, this Article focuses on several reform measures that could address and possibly reduce the detrimental effects of the Digital Age on jurors. The four remedies discussed in this Article are (1) penalizing jurors, (2) investigating jurors, (3) allowing jurors to ask questions, and (4) improving juror instructions. During the discussion on jury instructions, this Article analyzes two sets of jury instructions to see how well they adhere to the suggested changes proposed by this Article. This is followed by a draft model jury instruction. * Associate Professor of Law, University of Dayton School of Law. In addition to researching and writing on issues impacting jurors, the author edits a blog titled Juries. Prior to teaching, he served in the military, clerked for a federal judge, and worked on Capitol Hill.

INTRODUCTION The vast majority of Ohioans use the internet. And nearly all of those who do use Google Search. Google is so ubiquitous that its name has become a verb. A person does not have to sign a contract, buy a specific device, or pay a fee to use Good Search. Google provides its CLERK OF COURTS - DELAWARE COUNTY, OH - COMMON PLEAS COURT 21 CV H 06 0274 - SCHUCK, JAMES P. FILED: 06/08/2021 09:05 AM search services indiscriminately to the public. To use Google Search, all you have to do is type, click and wait. Primarily, users seek “organic search results”, which, per Google’s website, “[a] free listing in Google Search that appears because it's relevant to someone’s search terms.” In lieu of charging a fee, Google collects user data, which it monetizes in various ways—primarily via selling targeted advertisements.

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.
