The Internet has changed how many consumers receive news and altered the advertising landscape. Low entry barriers on the Internet have allowed new voices of journalism to emerge; the Internet- enabled links from one web site to another have given consumers easy access to all types of news; efficiencies available through the Internet have substantially reduced advertising costs. These and other changes related to the Internet have benefitted consumers greatly. At the same time, however, lower online advertising costs have reduced advertising revenues to news organizations that rely on those revenues for the majority of their funding. The explosion in the number and types of web sites has increased the supply of advertising locations. As that supply has increased, advertisers now pay less for online advertising, and some advertising has moved from print, television, or radio to online sites. In addition, most online news is offered free, so online readers of news frequently do not contribute subscription revenues to news media. These developments are challenging the ability of news organizations to fund journalism. The workshops will consider a wide range of issues, including: (1) the economics of journalism on the Internet and in more traditional media; (2) how the business models of different types of news organizations may evolve in response to the challenges associated with the Internet; (3) innovative forms of journalism that have emerged on the Internet; (4) how competition may evolve in markets for journalism and advertising; and (5) changes in governmental policies that have been proposed as ways to support journalism. The Commission seeks the views of the news media and the legal, academic, consumer, and business communities on the issues to be explored at the hearings. This notice poses a series of questions on which the Commission seeks comment.", "2009-10-07", 2009, 10, "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/10/07/E9-24197/public-workshops-and-roundtables-from-town-crier-to-bloggers-how-will-journalism-survive-the", "https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-10-07/pdf/E9-24197.pdf", "Federal Trade Commission", "192", "The Federal Trade Commission (\"FTC\" or \"Commission\") announces that it will hold two days of public workshops on December 1 and 2, 2009, to examine the Internet's impact on journalism in newspapers, magazines, broadcast television and radio, and cable...", null]], "columns": ["document_number", "title", "type", "abstract", "publication_date", "pub_year", "pub_month", "html_url", "pdf_url", "agency_names", "agency_ids", "excerpts", "regulation_id_numbers"], "primary_keys": ["document_number"], "primary_key_values": ["E9-24197"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.4038889892399311, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
