French Newspapers Partner To Sidestep Google News

According to Search Engine Land, A group of six French newspapers is partnering to create an online news site that they hope will be an alternative to Google News. France’s National Daily Press Union announced the plan yesterday and said the virtual newsstand will be launched in September.

According to the Shaping the Future of the Newspaper blog, the French newspapers are reacting against Google’s unwillingness to share ad revenues from Google News:

The maneuver comes months after Google announced its intention to include advertising on its news aggregation system. French newspapers had tried to negotiate with Google to receive a percentage of the ads revenues. But, as their request was denied, they have decided to launch a paid service of their own.

SFN Blog says Le Monde, Libération, Le Figaro, Les Echos, Le Parisien and L’Equipe are the initial partners in the news site, and other papers and magazines are expected to join later.

One of the newspapers said yesterday that monetizing the news content is the main goal of this new web site. Google is reportedly developing NewsPass, a micropayment system that would presumably allow allow papers to charge for content found in Google News and Google search.
