An ideologically wide range of news outlets now stand to make some money off Meta’s obsession with AI.Partnering means paying; Meta’s plans to compensate those publishers an undisclosed amount, Axios media reporter Sara Fischer confirms. It’s the latest in a series of moves by the operators of AI services to pay sites for access to their content.But all of these deals, plus similar ones with non-news sites like the content-licensing contracts Google and OpenAI inked with Reddit in 2024, have one unfortunate thing in common: They leave out smaller sites that can’t afford lawyers to negotiate with the likes of Google and Meta. Google has repeatedly said that it’s not seeing an overall drop in clickthrough traffic and that AI Overview sends sites a little more “high-quality” clicks, meaning ones that result in more time spent at the site. It has yet to publish numbers documenting that second claim. Should small news outlest form an association to speak on their behalf ?
