On 11-8-23, the Seattle Times penned an editorial for: "Google owes news outlets at least $10 billion yearly, study estimates" | Brier Dudley, and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:
Bravo Mr. Dudley. You have certainly raised this reader's awareness of the secondary impact for how search engines, cyber information and consumer sites are influenced from the newsprint media. And the impact of lost revenue from advertising suffered primarily by the print media because of them.
Yes, when I stop to think about it, there are dozens of cyber inquires I make based on your newsprint industry. Like inquires for definitions of new words I see in print. Like on-line ordering of that book from the latest top read lists. Like inquiry to a locally positioned news source to find out more about a sketchy report by my news source. And it goes on and on.
And of course, the biggest impact of all. That cyber story is either a reprint or an enhancement of a news story originally researched and penned by journalists of the newsprint media. Thus, I'm paying so much more for my newsprint's loss of revenue to sources that enjoy marketing advantage at their expense? Wow!
