For digital news publishers, nailing a prominent link in Google News has almost always been a good thing. It is a traffic boon. The automatic news aggregation service sends 4 billion clicks to news websites every month, according to Google. But some publishers – namely AP, AFP, and Rupert Murdoch – have long taken umbrage with Google, whom they have accused of leeching off of newspapers’ content. Cantankerous Murdoch has called Google “content kleptomaniacs.”

Targeting niche groups isn’t just an online trend. Brands are finding that with innovation in regional press, local activity is a valuable tool.
Damian Radcliffe's insight:
NB: Much of this due to the increase in smartphones and news consumption via mobile. Some good examples here.

In short, Twitter users and anyone else using social media is just as responsible for unlawful material as the traditional and mainstream press. Ignorance of the law is not a defence. The message is clear: if you should not say something in a national newspaper or on the sofa of a news show, you should not say it on Twitter. The public cannot treat their posts on Twitter and Facebook as they would a casual chat to a couple of friends in the pub. Delete the scoop?

"I don't think Patch is delivering.
What works in digital brand advertising is context. An ad for a bridal salon is out of context on a news site and is unlikely to be effective. Put that same ad on a site for local brides and watch what happens. My experience has been that click-through rates on relevant vertical sites are exponentially higher than on general news sites.
And that’s where Aol is missing the boat.
Aol already has dozens of vertical content sites. If I were heading-up Aol, I’d dump the entire Patch strategy and move toward the evolution of the verticals so that they are both national and local in nature. What if you could go on ParentDish, Aol Autos, KitchenDaily or Engaget and drill down from the national level to also see local content, listings and ads?" Delete the scoop?

In 2012, newspapers lost $16 in print ads for every $1 earned in digital ads.
Damian Radcliffe's insight:
Since 2003, print ads have fallen from $45 billion to $19 billion. Online ads have only grown from $1.2 to $3.3 billion. Stop and think about that gap. The total ten-year increase in digital advertising isn't even enough to overcome the average single-year decline in print ads since 2003. Ugh. Delete the scoop?

While civil war rages on the Syrian battlefield between regime loyalists and myriad rebel factions, another battle is taking place in the media world. Al Arabiya and Al Jazeera, the two Gulf-based channels that dominate the Arabic news business, have moved to counter Syrian regime propaganda, but have ended up distorting the news almost as badly as their opponents. In their bid to support the Syrian rebels' cause, these media giants have lowered their journalistic standards, abandoned rudimentary fact-checks, and relied on anonymous callers and unverified videos in place of solid reporting.

Owens takes issue with my position that none of the hyperlocal sites can claim journalistic success, maintaining that The Batavian is an unqualified journalistic success, as are West Seattle Blog, suburban New Jersey's Baristanet, "and a few of the other 'authentically local' news sites sprinkled around the country." He knocks me for citing no data in my curt dismissal of hyperlocal journalism (criticism accepted) and rejects my view that hyperlocal's real traffic competitor is social sites like Facebook.
