The New York Times CEO Warns Publishers Ahead of Apple News Launch (reuters.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Apple is expected to launch an ambitious new entertainment and paid digital news service on Monday, as the iPhone maker pushes back against streaming video leader Netflix. But it likely will not feature the New York Times. Mark Thompson, chief executive of the biggest U.S. newspaper by subscribers, warned that relying on third-party distribution can be dangerous for publishers who risk losing control over their own product. "We tend to be quite leery about the idea of almost habituating people to find our journalism somewhere else," he told Reuters in an interview on Thursday. "We're also generically worried about our journalism being scrambled in a kind of Magimix (blender) with everyone else's journalism."
Next up: Littly Timmy threw is sand shovel at little Stewie! Following: 3 days of drama, starting with the news at 11!
(Just please ignore all the things that actually matter!)
Aggregators lower quality and take clicks away from the news source = takes money away from the news effort. NYT is one of the last places with enough to pay for quality reporting and sees no benefit in diluting themselves.
Apple would never screw you over, no waaaaaaay. They are the paragon of playing nice, no back stabbing, stealing other companies IP, etc. Greeeeeeeeeeeeeat company!
Apple: "Thanks Mark, we'll give you 0.000000000001 cents everytime reads one of your articles on our news feed! You are welcome dear content creating friend!"
Will they still source buzzfeed and CNN?
I need to hear about my hero Jussie! And my daily Drumpffff rage!
NYT is one of the last places with enough to pay for quality reporting
Maybe they should try putting that in the paper instead of what they publish now...
I just assumed the NYT was excluded with lots of other questionable "news" sources. It's called "Apple News", not "Apple Democratic Party with Bylines".

"habituating people to find our journalism somewhere else..." Yes, that's me. I purposely avoid clicking on any NYT link, and I detest their love of click-bait headlines.
I thought democrats were the ones chopping off their nuts and Frankensteining a front hole.
Reuters and the Associated Press are owned by the Rothschild ...
The House of Rothschild bought Reuters news service in the 1800's. Within the last 20 years, Reuters bought the Associated Press. Now the Elite own the two largest wire services in the world, where most newspapers get their news.
get a new job ivan you have failed and are transparent
try doing something good for a change
like assassinating vladimir putin
nymag is a joke lol, you nazi Republican faggots are pathetic nutless incels being swept into the fire.
The true colors of the attack rainbow spoken like a true democrat.

You're thinking of the Washington Post which is becoming Fox News for the right. The NYT is as factual and accurate as one can find. "Fake news" is pretty bipartisan these days with plenty on both sides of the fence. Whatever your taste, you can find somebody who will tell you what you want to hear. I have a neighbor who really believes that Breitbart is the only accurate news source.
Another real problem is news is being replaced with entertainment swill like TMZ per the last half hour of Fox Noon "News."

If they had any integrity they would. If gun bans stop murders then them cutting off their dicks and balls would stop rapes.

"right"? Er, make that "left" (partisan political labels are so hard to keep straight as they both act so much alike)

'Memba when Glenn Thrush of Politico was exposed seeking Podesta's approval of articles about Clinton. Even Thrush wrote "please don't tell anyone" and "I'm such a hack". The consequences for Thrush? He was hired by the New York Times after the election.
'Memba when a New York Times reporter called Melania a hooker and they wouldn't even release the name of the reporter that said it, let alone fire her.
'Memba when The New York Times used eliminationist rhetoric as the lead sentence of an article on the op-ed page in December 2009: "A message to progressives: By all means, hang Senator Joe Lieberman in effigy." Burning an effigy, like burning an American flag, is constitutionally protected symbolic speech. It is also about as eliminationist as speech can get, short of a true threat or incitement.
'Memba when New York Times advocated for authoritarian China-style government?
'Memba when NYT journalist Ali Watkins blamed Trump lawyers for leaks, while she was fucking a Senate committee staffer twice her age who was leaking her classified info? Her punishment? The journalist was reassigned and given a "mentor" instead of being fired for breaking one of the most basic rules of journalism.
'Memba when the New York Times praised a coup in Venezuela? And stated in print, falsely, "With yesterday's resignation of President Hugo ChÃvez, Venezuelan democracy is no longer threatened by a would-be dictator. Mr. ChÃvez, a ruinous demagogue, stepped down after the military intervened and handed power to a respected business leader, Pedro Carmona."
'Memba when the New York Times finally admitted in print to being a liberal newspaper?
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
The NYT shouts get off my lawn.
Paywalls be a falling.
Blockchain is the answer, to your problems, keep on hashing, then you can solve them. If you feel that you can take no more, and you stock is heading for the NYSE door, got to keep on hashing and bashing. Luring. Keep on fooling. Flying on a corporate jet. It's the best that you can get. Blockchain! Cha, cha, chaa.
Lying, totalitarian shit rag. Those fuckers know how to goose step.
"We're also generically worried about our journalism being scrambled in a kind of Magimix (blender) with everyone else's journalism."
The NY Times gave up journalism in favor of click-bait a long time ago. It's understandable, they were bleeding subscribers before they did it. But they are now indistinguishable from every other click-bait site.
Rape Prevention: The only way to stop a bad guy with balls and a dick is a good guy with balls and dick. Just like guns. See.
The right is so far gone that there are no longer facts, everything is go team and spin. There are corners of the liberals that do this: anti-vax yuck, and tiny swaths of the left like truthers and Assad-suckers, but the entire right wing is now a tantrum based cult. Y'all have made "owning the Libs" a religion.
The Times isn't bad. Far better than MSNBC which is at least not cloud-coo-coo like the opinion / political propaganda as entertainment on Fox.
But that's not gonna work around here. Incel libertarian engineers don't want to hear it and y'all are the Gish Galloping cavalry of the alternative-facts front line. We just have to wait for you to die off. Given that, by definition, you don't get laid I guess we've got 10 years until the high end of the Fox demographic drops and then slashdot can host the rest of you when pornhub is down but there won't be enough to screw things up. Then the liberals can go back to screwing things up but at least reality based screwing up.
Also, protip: Jews can be assholes too. E.g. Israels leaders are much closer to the Nazis than to their ancestors who were victims of the Nazis. Most old Jews can't condemn Israel's leadership for exactly that reason.
You sound pro-Israel-leadeship, and hence *contra* old victim Jews.
An Rothschilds are horrible assholes, no matter how you turn it. And no matter if they are Jews or not.
I'm a moderate. Voted for Obama in primary and both generals.
Watched the Kavanaugh circus, scared.
I've lost faith that the press. The press who used to be able to bury their subconscious biases, and whose biz models supported them actually reporting. My sense is that the *people *, who're overwhelmingly left, are angry. Angry they were wrong re HRC. Angry at the other 50 % of citizens who voted Trump. Angry that their decently paying careers have been reduced to them writing vapid click bait headlines.
I'm worried, as a functioning democracy needs an informed populace.
Maybe the intellectual dark web dweebs can stop pontificating and offer constructive policy proposals?
The New York Times is the most heavily censored newspaper in America.
Every single one of your claims is an outright lie and fabrication You are a Russian paid troll out to stir up outrage as distraction for Vladimir Putin's crimes against humanity and to delay his assassination and/or war crimes trial.
There's a lot of "homeless" liberals now. We used to think there was at least a little fact hidden in the "spin cycle", but now I see next to none.
In the pursuit of public interest, they've ironically lost what they sought in the first place.
As for the news commentators on YouTube or BitChute, most of them are trying to put their heads together and figure out what to do. Not sure any of us could do any better as no one hired them, either.
Tim Pool is trying his hand at a news channel with less bias: Subverse. Haven't checked it out yet, but if it's anything like his solo reporting, it's probably as factual and accurate as he and his team can make it. At least Tim's open with his biases and doesn't pretend they don't exist.
... that is the sound of anti-competitiveness. That is the sound of your death.
Goodbye, Mr. Thompson.
NYT laid off many of its old-school seasoned staff, and replaced them with just out of school activist "journalists" with next to no experience, and frequently no background in what they are writing about. However, they do tend to be female, and when possible, coloric. Their headlines are now mainly just clickbait, and the "news" articles in most cases are advocacy pieces. This is not your father's NYT. ...Unfortunately.
