I think this will only lower traffic to traffic starved local news sites and similar. I don't see this as a win for news organizations. I think google/facebook/etc will just stop aggregating news. They certainly aren't going to be sending billions their way. It's kind of up to those news sites to put in advertising to get value from being on google's news page, google isn't going to pay them and neither is facebook.
