Creators vs. Aggregators

Last week during our presentation on Media & Entertainment, my team and I posited that newspaper publishers and other professional content creators were going to want to get a piece of the value captured by aggregators like Google News and Digg. It looks like that tug of war is getting underway: Guardian wants Government to look at Google News. It'll be really interesting to see how this plays out in the UK and if we'll see a similar move by one of the big players on this side of the pond any time soon.

  1. This will be a big issue as we struggle to figure out fair value split between creators of bite sized content (picture, videoclip, figures, etc.) and aggregators who provide effective access and personalization tools.
