He means that smaller publishers don't have a brand yet where people just browse directly to their site. Those smaller publishers get a disproportionate share of views when one of their article trends on google news.
- mcv 8y agoI guess the only solution for news sites now is massive mergers into a handful of news giants that do have the brand name to stand on their own without needing links from aggregators. Of course it would help a lot if they also dramatically revised the way they offer their content on the internet. Many news sites are rather awful.
