A news organization that was founded in 1846 is making another attempt to transition to the digital age. The Associated Press has announced the creation of a unit called AP Gateway, and with the unit, the agency intends to "facilitate development of fresh news consumer experiences for the Web as well as mobile phones, tablets and e-readers." This is meant to be truly cutting-edge stuff. For example: it's already been decided that one of the first products out of AP Gateway will be an...

After a seven-week-long hiatus, Google is now hosting content from the Associated Press again. The two have had a deal in place in the past, but AP content quietly went missing from Google, and that very fact became a topic of wide discussion last week. Now the deal appears to be renewed to some uncertain extent. The statement Google has given on the matter says, "We have a licensing agreement with the Associated Press that permits us to host its content on Google properties such as Google News...

Update: Google evidently likes the Reuters philosophy on this matter. The company recently tweeted the following message: Original Article: For those of you interested in the online news industry and the never-ending controversial discussion surrounding the Associated Press , linking, fair use, etc., you should be interested in reading what Chris Ahearn, Media President at Thomas Reuters has to say. He appears to come from the opposite side of the tracks as the AP. Ahearn wrote a piece on a Reuters...

As if there wasn’t enough change on the Internet these days the Associated Press (AP) is now putting together a program that will cost anyone who uses anything that they publish a minimum of $12.50. While that may seem a bit much it gets even worse when you discover that that price is for using just 5 words or less of their material! We touched on the subject recently and this update suggests that things may be getting really weird since desperation rarely yields good results . Mashable gives...

The AP is known for having some fairly unconventional tactics toward the use of their content online. Sure, a company should be concerned with how their content is being used online... but how far is too far? Do you agree with the AP's new strategy? Tell us . A new tactic, that the AP is currently employing, is one that will surely rub some people the wrong way. The AP is now charging individuals if they quote 5 words or more from any article. For those of you wondering, 5 words will set you...

Other than involving their respective Web campaigns, these two tidbits are only semantically related—you can file them both under odds and ends. While artist stages the inaugural “Intellectual Property Competition,” fans of unfortunately named and since changed Butt Hole Road have waged an Internet campaign to change the name back to the rude original. AP versus Shepard Fairy In this competition, the winner is still a loser. A gutsy artist irritated both by the Associated Press’s...

Yes, the AP (Associated Press) is desperate . Yes, the AP has lost control of the news . And yes, bloggers are more and more going local with their focus . That leads to an obvious question, will bloggers eventually replace the AP and other news organizations? Wall Street Journal columnist Mark Penn points to statistics which claim that in the U.S. alone there are over 20 million bloggers, of which 1.7 million get paid for it. Mr. Penn also references a Technorati report which says that there are...

One of the big debates about online news is that original sources don't always get the recognition they deserve. Google News has recently been one of the focal points in the ongoing Associated Press finger-pointing sessions . Within the last week, Google has introduced a timeline for articles on Google News, which could help this to some extent. Of course "sort by date" was always an option when looking at Google News search results, but now, you can visually see the sequence of articles...

In case you’ve missed the kerfluffle recently, the AP is rather dissatisfied with their relationship with the Internet , and Google in particular. Google is everyone’s favorite villain these days. I mean, aren’t they singlehandedly bringing the newspaper industry to its knees? Not so much, as TechCrunch reminds us. Google News isn’t the most popular news site on the Internet: In the U.S., Google News is overshadowed by both Yahoo News and even the sites controlled by the New...

If not, WebProNews Publisher Rich Ord has a good piece on that here . News has now come out that the AP is even going after its own affiliates for...embedding YouTube videos uploaded to the site by the AP itself, embed code and all. Now one might think that when you upload...

Let’s pretend for a moment that you’re the newspaper industry. Your ranks are dwindling as even old stalwarts are dropping like flies . You’re pretty much clueless about the online information economy . You’re even resorting to using your old nemesis, video , to attract online viewers. So now what? Oh, I know! Let’s lash out at Google . Clearly, the failings of a centuries-old industry to adapt to a new communication paradigm are all Google’s fault. ( What isn’t...
