    One of the companies most responsible for putting newspapers out of business now wants to look like the white knight by swooping in to handpick a few to help?
    Thanks, Google, but by and large fuck you.

    The Journalism Emergency Relief Fund is targeted at newsrooms with a minimum of two full-time employee (FTE) journalists up to a maximum of 100 FTE journalists.​

    Who the hell is still employing 100 full-time reporters?

    It's scary that google is making so much money it can afford to give away zillions of dollars. Gosh have they won the war. Money to burn.

    This is how I felt about Craig Newmark giving millions to CUNY for its journalism school. He did not make the billions Google/Facebook has, but he might as well have nailed the coffin shut.

    Meanwhile, in Australia ...

    Facebook and Google to be forced to share advertising revenue with Australian media companies
