Is it wise for news organizations to agree to take part in Zuckerberg's “discussions” like this? Why not just ask for an interview? http://www.facebook.com/... http://twitter.com/... Mark Scott / @markscott82 : .@Facebook watchers — Zuck just dropped this hour long chat w/ Mathias Dopfner, head of Axel Springer & arch US tech antagonist (disclosure: Springer owns half of POLITICO's EU outfit) http://bit.ly/2FOOuDH Peter Kafka / @pkafka : Facebook's newest news idea: *Dedicated “tab” for “high quality” publishers *Free for users *May pay publishers a license fee/may give them a (better) cut of ad $ *May hire editors to curate content *Aiming for end of 2019. http://www.recode.net/... Ritesh Banglani / @banglani : Congratulations Zuck, you have invented Yahoo http://www.recode.net/... Josh Young / @jny : This is the cable model that @peretti loves. The problem is that Facebook has commoditized its suppliers in a way that cable companies never did. The cable company needed ESPN. Facebook will never need BuzzFeed, so the revenue will always be fickle. http://twitter.com/... Mathew Ingram / @mathewi : Axel Springer CEO Matthias Dopfner tells Zuckerberg he needs to adopt the new copyright scheme passed by the EU where any content, even short excerpts, needs to be licensed. Zuckerberg says he's thinking about it http://www.facebook.com/... Mathew Ingram / @mathewi : Based on this interview, Zuckerberg wants to do the same thing for print articles that Facebook did for video with Watch: Pay certain outlets to produce (or at least hand over) “quality” news. This seems like a spectacularly bad idea http://www.facebook.com/...

Mark Scott / @markscott82 : 3) Fun fact — Springer gave Zuck its inaugural Axel Springer award back in 2016 when FB was seen as the ‘good’ US tech giant vs Google's ‘bad behavior.’ Don't believe me?
