Google Publishers to be Paid for their News Content

Google publisher will now be paid, Google announced to pay news publishers directly to license their new contents, in a change of tack for the internet.

Google said it would pay media partners in three countries and cover the costs of pay-walled news sites to give users free access to a dedicated news app. Google has long tussled with publishers over how it displays its content, with media companies arguing the search giant should pay them for the privileges.

Who is a Google Publisher

Google publisher is one who uses his platform to reach audience to earn from Google.

Basically, Google uses the publisher’s website as a medium to reach users and ask them to participate in.

The company said on Thursday that it would introduce a licensing program that pays publishers for “high-quality content” to be posted on a new service expected to launch later this year. Google said it would pay some media groups in Australia, Brazil, and Germany for high-quality content and expects to do more deals with others.
