With Google announcing that it will ban Canadian news media sources due to the recent laws that would require platforms to pay media organizations to link to their news content it makes you wonder how big that would affect businesses here. This isn\u2019t just about reporting events that are happening. A lot of business rely on media exposure as a way to grow their business and some even pay them to do positive reports on them. Now imagine being blocked from some of the biggest search engines and platforms where people can\u2019t find you that way.<\/p>\n
As a business, do you also immediately start to pull out any investments and reliance on news media to promote your business and instead try and pay a company such as Google directly instead to get listed independently? Or if you are a media company would you consider this over or would you still see yourself as bigger than any online platform where you don\u2019t need them? Example, everyone who still solely watches TV may be enough for some companies.<\/p>\n
It’ sows you how fast an industry landscape can change and how one company or government\u2019s new law can make or break businesses. I do wonder if this would affect even regular people in a great way as well. Imagine someone just writing what they saw in a local event. Would that be considered media too? Interesting situation that developed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
