Newspapers moan that Google steals their content and displays it for free. Google points to the fact that it sends a billion clicks a month to newspaper websites and pays newspaper billions of dollars annually for hosting Google advertising.
Google says newpapers would do well in the new world if they learnt from sites such as such as video site YouTube and the online shopping site Amazon that build their content so there is always more to buy or more to watch.
Google says linking to more information, engaging readers in dialogue and making the content more interactive are “web fundamentals” that could be used to build a product much different from news online today.
