New York Times CEO warns publishers ahead of Apple news launch
Apple Inc is expected to launch an ambitious new entertainment and paid digital news service on Monday, as the iPhone maker pushes back against streaming video leader Netflix Inc. But it likely will not feature the New York Times Co.
Mark Thompson, chief executive of the biggest U.S. newspaper by subscribers, warned that relying on third-party distribution can be dangerous for publishers who risk losing control over their own product.
"We tend to be quite leery about the idea of almost habituating people to find our journalism somewhere else," he told Reuters in an interview on Thursday. "We're also generically worried about our journalism being scrambled in a kind of Magimix (blender) with everyone else's journalism."
Thompson, who took over as New York Times CEO in 2012 and has overseen a massive expansion in its online readership, warned publishers that they may suffer the same fate as television and film makers in the face of Netflix's Hollywood insurgence.

Some have been waiting since Saturday of last weekend. And 4 or 5 of them could easily fit in the HUGE Blank Space in the (very dumb) Department Line of this one. But, oh, the C.E.O. of the Phoney Failing Fake News New York Times said something! And a very special Submitter made the Sub about it, that one must go through very quickly. Sad!
And, Mark is sooo predictable. He doesn't want N.Y.T. stories next to other stories. Doesn't want "people" to see, oh here's what the N.Y.T. says. And here are the other stories -- from Fox News, O.A.N., Breitbart, Washington Times, Sinclair, The Missoulian, The Whitefish Pilot -- that say it's Fake News. Because Tim/Apple brought them together. Go Tim!!

Sorry, Donny, but since the editors here at SN are volunteers they have to supplement their income some how. Right now they are working of editing a report from some guy named Mueller. I'm sure they'll get to you once they're finished.
