@jason_kint Thanks @jason_kint for your informative quick-take on why serious media is in crisis. Here are a few pertinent points from my two+ decades in online publishing (that includes long association for @allafrica w/ Google). 1/4
@jason_kint @allafrica (1) Discovery: Google has pushed search results for reputable news off 1st screen in favor of more lucrative Google ads
(2) Design: Publishers are pressured to adopt AMP which "tightens Google's grip on the web"
2/4
@jason_kint @allafrica (3) Data: Google assigned 'all liability' to publishers for any violations of GDPR

(4) Dollars: Having "cornered" ad serving & dominated ad demand, Google can (and does) effectively set pricing of ads in its favor
3/4
@jason_kint @allafrica An additional issue for publishers w/ global reach like @allafrica - @AdSense payout 4 page viewed in #Nigeria, for example, is 1/3 vs USA (the 2 places where we have most users) - even if the Nigerian is wealthy enough to fly caviar from London for an elaborate celebration!
4/4
