The Internet has brought about great changes in the way people think about and access information, entertainment and news. This has also meant significant changes in how information is produced, not least in the news industry, which in recent years, has faced significant financial pressures as traditional business models evolve with technological advances.
Google is committed to partnering with news organisations and developing new technologies that support journalism and quality content online. In February of this year, we launched One Pass , a tool that enables publishers to charge for their material online or in mobile apps and manage subscriptions. Google News is a constantly evolving product which gives publishers control over their content, drives users to their sites and enables them to experiment with new ways of earning revenue.
On September 29th at 18:00, Madhav Chinnappa, head of Google’s strategic partnerships with European news publishers, will be in Brussels for a special news-focused Google TechTalk. He’ll give his vision of how online news is developing - and outline how Google is working with the news industry as it transitions to the digital world. We look forward to seeing you there!
Madhav Chinnappa joined Google in 2010 to focus on Google News in Europe as part of the Google Strategic Partnerships team. Madhav has worked in the news industry since 1994 - first in the launch team of Associated Press Television (APTV), then in M&A at United News & Media. He subsequently spent over 9 years at BBC News, most recently as Head of Business Development & Rights.
