Amazon claims New York Times didn't check facts for work culture exposé
Amazon have said that the New York times have spoken about their work and how what they've been saying isn't rue and that they should get "facts" before they make a assumption about the Amazon company.They said that they were just focusing on one story and that were the workers. The New York times are saying that they are only saying what they saw and what they saw is true. Amazon are denying that the workers there don't like working there and that they don't do alot.
- Bo Olson, who provided the most damning quote in the Times pieces when he said that “nearly every person I worked with, I saw cry at their desk”.
- be critical of the company, adding: “When there are two sides of a story, a reader deserves to know them both. Why did the Times choose not to follow standard practice here? We don’t know.”
- Carney wrote: “Had the reporters checked their facts, the story they published would have been a lot less sensational, a lot more balanced, and, let’s be honest, a lot more boring. It might not have merited the front page, but it would have been closer to the truth.”
I think that there are always two sides to a story and sometimes there isn't. I'm not sure whose telling the truth here. I feel that Amazon at not treat their employees right. But i also think that the New York times are saying most of things to make a story out of it. Having these two sides makes it difficult to know whose telling the truth.
Google launches €150m fund for publishers' digital news projects
Google has decided to launch its fund for European publishers to help tap a develop in the new and news digital projects.Google announced its intention to launch the innovation fund in April that aims to support and improve historically often fractious relations with European publishers. they are trying to appeal to bug companies so that they can download it too.
- Google has launched its €150m (£109m) fund for European publishers
- Medium-sized projects are defined as those that require up to €300,000 in funds, of which Google will award up to 70%.
- The Digital News Initiative was launched in April with eight European publishers. More than 120 have now signed up to try and take advantage of the fund.
- Google said that there can be exceptions to its €1m per project funding cap if there is an idea that is collaborative, “eg: international, sector-wide, involving multiple organisations”, or if it “significantly benefits the broad news eco-system”.
I think that its good that Google have given the Europeans some access to the app so that it can help them. This will help them become more broader and have a more of a range when they are more successful than they are.
