Interview: Tom Curley, CEO, Associated Press; Portals, Local Content—‘The Mother of all Battles’
by mozkartLe point de vue du président d'Associated Press sur la vocation et l'avenir des agences de presse.
Last week, Curley spoke out again, this time as part of a consortium seeking changes from search engines. I interviewed him later that day about a range on subjects, including how to interpret that first speech, the role of the AP, and what it can do to help its 1,500 member newspapers profit from the transition to digital. One thing is clear: Curley has taken his ‘do not despair’ maxim to heart: “We believe that breaking news is worth more these days than it ever was. So breaking news is a premium business.”
