Google launches 150m
fund for publisher’s digital news project
The article is about Google granting European publishers
€150m to start new projects for digital news sources to be developed with no
strings attached. It is all part of the digital news initiative from Google to
help publishers get online with their news. the grants will be broken into
three sections and will hrant the money as is needed to complete the projects.
€150m (£109m) fund for European publishers to tap to develop
new digital news projects
prototype projects that Google will fully fund to “fast track”
with up to €50,000.
Medium-sized projects are defined as those that require up
to €300,000 in funds
Google will also fund up to 70% of proposals defined as
large projects, those up to €1m.
A 13-member council will have oversight of the fund’s
selection process and in the case of large projects a vote will be held before
a plan is approved.
This is another example of traditional media platforms such
as newspapers being pushed out by bigger online companies such as Google and is
killing this platform for publishers for newspapers as due to things like this
there is a decline in newspapers and the publishers are struggling to keep the
companies open.

In my opinion this is a prime example of how audiences are
changing and shying away from traditional media such as newspapers, as is shown
in the decline of newspapers, to new
online forms of media such as YouTube. This will carry on in my opinion and the
online community is only going to get bigger and bigger further pushing out
these traditional media platforms.
