The landmark adtech trial of the century has now officially come and gone. Google and the Department of Justice wrapped up their cases with closing arguments last week.Next up – a decision in the case from the Judge presiding in the case, Judge Leonie Brinkema. Judge Brinkema said she expects to have a decision by the end of the year, but that could get pushed out to the start of next year.To get a better sense of what the closing arguments were like in person I'm bringing on Jason Kint, who has followed the case closely throughout. Kint is the CEO of Digital Content Next, a trade group for digital content providers._______To read the full stories included in this episode:Google and the DOJ spar in court on the last day of the ad tech trial: https://www.thecurrent.com/google-doj-court-ad-tech-trial-data-privacyClosing Arguments, November 25: Once, Twice, Three Times a Monopolist: https://www.usvgoogleads.com/trial-updates/closing-arguments-november-25-once-twice-three-times-a-monopolistExclusive: Threads adds 35M new sign-ups this month: https://www.axios.com/2024/11/26/exclusive-threads-adds-35m-new-signups-this-month_______The Current Report is our weekly news roundup of what's happening in the world of digital media.

Australian law firm Maurice Blackburn is investigating a publisher class action against Google in a strikingly similar $8 billion lawsuit already underway in Canada – led by a tiny regional community publishing boss, Lisa Sygutek, who won't be cowed. “Find your inner warrior, sign-up, go for it,” she urges Australian media owners. Miranda Nagy, the lawyer leading the Australian class action investigation, likewise calls on publishers large and small to join the proposed action. She's aiming to secure “best possible” retrospective compensation. Maurice Blackburn has come to the same conclusion as the US Department of Justice, various European regulators, and a dozen US state attorneys general. They allege Google manipulated and gamed publishers and brands for years with secret deals and projects – some in collusion with Meta – that actively sought to disadvantage them while entrenching Google's market dominance – taking billions of dollars away from publishers and fleecing advertisers in the process by charging far more than was either necessary or officially disclosed. The alleged ruses include things like ‘project Bernanke', in which Google was essentially able to “to take a bigger spread between publishers and advertisers, which means both publishers are getting less money and advertisers are paying more,” according to Adil Abdulla, the lawyer leading the Canadian legal effort through Sotos Class Actions. Then there was ‘Jedi Blue', in which Google is accused of colluding with Facebook to kill the free market publishers and the broader ad market had tried to build through header bidding, while ensuring Facebook got an ad auction advantage in return. Jason Kint, CEO of US peak publisher body Digital Content Next, says Jedi Blue's impacts “are still playing out” and forecasts “a bloodbath of lawsuits being filed”. He thinks the Trump administration will go just as hard with “eight to 10 different code name projects” to go after. While many US publishers, advertisers and agencies had been “captured” by Google, Kint reckons that “halo is starting to come off”. He urges marketers and the supply chain locally to likewise reject being strong-armed. For publishers, Future Media founder Ricky Sutton echoes that call: “This is the first window in 20 years where we've got a chance to take back some of the things that we've lost. What we do is too valuable to be lost to one commercial company with a 25 year run in the sunlight.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the MadTech Podcast, ExchangeWire CEO Rachel Smith is joined by Jason Kint, CEO of Digital Content Next, to discuss how Donald Trump's victory in the US election could affect the ad tech landscape. 

We're just a week away from the start of the U.S. government's antitrust trial against Google, the second one taking place this year. This one alleges that the company is illegally monopolizing the ad tech market. The trial comes hot on the heels of another DOJ antitrust case, whose verdict in August charged Google with monopolizing the search engine market.In the lead up to this second trial, the Department of Justice has unsealed a number of documents that offer a glimpse into how Google talked about its own products.Jason Kint, CEO of Digital Content Next, joins The Current Report to preview the case. The Current is owned and operated by The Trade Desk Inc.

Next in Media spoke to Jason Kint, CEO of the publisher-focused trade group Digital Content Next, about the potential impact of Google's recent anti trust ruling, and what to expect next month when a more advertising-focused decision regarding Google comes to a head.Takeaways• Google's Monopoly and Antitrust Cases: Google has been found to be a monopoly in both the App Store and search markets. • Impact on Media and Advertising: These antitrust cases are seen as unlocking competition, which is beneficial for media companies and small businesses. • Importance of Data Scale: Google's dominance in search, with 98% of unique queries, provides it an unparalleled data scale. • Microsoft's Struggles: Despite being a tech giant, Microsoft struggles to compete with Google in the search market due to the latter's vast data advantage.• Potential Breakup of Google: There is speculation that the ad tech trial could lead to Google being forced to divest parts of its business, possibly Chrome and Android, due to their critical roles in data collection.• Google's Internal Practices: The trial revealed nefarious internal practices, such as coordination between different Google departments to meet quarterly targets, despite public claims of separation.• Google's Defense and Market Impact: Google argues that its dominance in search is pro-competitive and beneficial for consumers due to its superior search experience. • Implications for Publishers: The outcome of these cases could validate the concerns of publishers who have long complained about Google's market power. • Future of Competition: Kint emphasizes that real change will come when there is actual competition in the market, with revenue directed towards where consumers want it. Guest: Jason KintHost: Mike ShieldsSponsored by: AcastProduced by: FEL Creative

CEO of Digital Content Next, Jason Kint, offers his analysis of the recently concluded Google trial proceedings. As one of the foremost authorities on digital media and tech policy, Jason offers invaluable insights into the implications and potential outcomes of this landmark case.

Today, I'm talking with Jonathan Kanter, the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division at the Department of Justice. Alongside FTC chair Lina Khan, Jonathan is one of the most prominent figures in the big shift happening in competition and antitrust in the United States. This is a fun episode: we taped this conversation live on stage at the Digital Content Next conference in Charleston, South Carolina a few days ago, so you'll hear the audience, which was a group of fancy media company executives.  You'll also hear me joke about Google a few times; fancy media execs are very interested in the cases the DOJ has brought against Google for monopolizing search and advertising tech — and Jonathan was very good at not commenting about pending litigation. But he did have a lot to say about the state of tech regulation, he and Khan's track record so far, and why he thinks the concepts they're pushing forward are more accessible than they've ever been.

President Joe Biden wrote an Wall Street Journal op-ed on January 11, 2023 calling for “serious federal protections for Americans' privacy.” Digital Content Next CEO Jason Kint tweeted out that “I'll sit down with anyone to explain why privacy integrated with antitrust is the critical issue of our time” and I took him up on his offer. Kint serves as a sort of industry watchdog for surveillance capitalism companies like Google and Facebook/Meta digging through anti-trust court transcripts, depositions, and other buried legal obscurities as he keeps close tabs on the relationship between the dominant players of advertising and their associated data practices. I wanted to get some of Kint's takes on the latest privacy frontiers of US law at the federal and state level, some of the recent $400M GDPR enforcement actions against Meta by Ireland's Data Protection Commission, and why he's keeping so close tabs on the anti-trust and the potential anti-competitive practices of Google and Facebook/Meta's ad businesses. Digital Content Next is a trade organization that represents the future News and Entertainment companies who are advancing the future of trusted content. He has been tracking how the advertising ecosystem has been steadily growing over many years, but mostly to the benefits Google and Facebook/Meta, which he identified was connected to their surveillance capitalism data collection methods that has been providing deep challenges to the fundamental nature of consumer privacy.

This week, Press Gazette's North America editor William Turvill interviews Jason Kint, the chief executive of Digital Content Next, a trade association for US digital publishers.Kint is known for his forthright views on Google and Meta/Facebook (AKA the Duopoly) and has spent years closely tracking numerous lawsuits and new legislations the tech giants face across the world. In this episode, we quiz Kint on the most significant forthcoming legal and regulatory changes, and ask him to predict what the future holds for Google, Meta and the media industry.

If you take the time to look at the SEC filings for Meta Platforms, Inc. - the company that operates Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp - you will find various disclosures about its ongoing legal battles. Taken together they reveal patterns, particularly in how the company is led. To get an update on some of the key cases under consideration, from Cambridge Analytica to competition, I spoke with one particularly keen observer of Meta: Jason Kint, the CEO of Digital Content Next.

La cerveza pone a prueba la publicidad de video podcasts, el negocio de podcasts para niños está floreciendo, y una súplica para más transacciones en el mercado privado en vez de en las FAANG (las cinco grandes compañías de tecnología: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflx y Google). La casa productora de podcasts, Crooked Media, ha lanzado una campaña que incorpora publicidad puramente visual en su podcast llamado Offline with Jon Favreau. El patrocinio viene de un sector poco visto en el podcasting. Alyssa Meyers de Morning Brew cubrió la historia el viernes pasado, destacando una asociación centrada en YouTube entre Crooked Media y la marca de cerveza Blue Moon, una filial de Molson Coors, la empresa cervecera líder mundial. Meyers escribe, “Crooked [Media] acordó agregar tarjetas de texto que digan ‘presentado por Blue Moon’, acompañado por el logo de la marca, al principio de cada episodio de Offline en YouTube", le dijo Joel Fowler, vicepresidente de marketing comercial y estrategia creativa de Crooked Media, a Marketing Brew.” Además de la tarjeta de texto y los anuncios leído por el anfitrión en cada video, Blue Moon también comprará espacio publicitario específicamente en el canal de YouTube de Crooked Media. Joel Fowler le dijo a Marketing Brew que Blue Moon es la primera "de las grandes marcas de primer nivel que uno está viendo entrar en el espacio de los podcasts". Fowler anticipa que más empresas de los Fortune 500 adopten campañas publicitarias de podcasts multimedia en un futuro cercano. La empresa de detección de desinformación NewsGuard busca brindar seguridad de marca a través de la eliminación la desinformación en los podcasts.Joe Mandese de la editorial MediaPosts informa, "Se dice que NewsGuard está en conversaciones con al menos tres de las grandes empresas de holding de la industria publicitaria para financiar el nuevo servicio de calificación de podcasts, los cuales obtendrían un periodo exclusivo de seis meses como parte del trato." Mandese relaciona el renovado interés de la industria en nuevas herramientas de seguridad de marca CON la polémica sobre el resurgimiento de la desinformación sobre COVID-19 en el programa The Joe Rogan Experience de Spotify*.* NewsGuard busca proporcionar un proceso único con analistas humanos quienes emplearán el conocimiento y el contexto previo para determinar la veracidad de un podcast, creando listas de podcasts seguros y problemáticos con el tiempo. Suena noble el intento de NewsGuard de adaptar sus fact-checkers o, verificadores de hechos, de su blog para el podcasting, pero sí trae ligera desaprobación. Es una herramienta privada que tendrá una exclusividad de seis meses para los holdings anónimos que financien el proyecto. Su método práctico de mano que eligieron tampoco es ampliable como otras soluciones actualmente en producción, como la que ofrece Barometer. A diferencia de NewsGuard, Barometer utiliza la estructura GARM (La Alianza Global por Medios Responsables), el cual es auditable públicamente y no se centra en la exclusividad con un inversor particular. La opinión de nuestro equipo en La descarga es que el problema de la seguridad de la marca no debe resolverse con soluciones propietarias, sino con estructuras accesibles y fáciles de replicar. Otra vez, J. Clara Chan de Hollywood Reporter tiene algunos desarrollos divertidos en el mundo de los podcasts. Publicado el martes pasado, el artículo: The Booming Business of Kids’ Podcasting (El Floreciente Negocio de Podcasts Infantiles), escrito por Chan, ofrece un resumen de la enorme atención que están recibiendo los podcasts para niños. Chan dice, “Los podcasts en la categoría de infantiles y familia han visto un aumento del 20 por ciento en el alcance de audiencia desde 2019, según el informe del Spoken Word Audio Report 2021 publicado por NPR y Edison Research. Las adaptaciones de podcasts de exitosos programas infantiles están proliferando, mientras que, por el contrario, los estudios de cine y televisión se están involucrando más temprano de lo acostumbrado para adquirir propiedad intelectual de podcasts dirigidos a los niños”. Es probable que ese número del 20 por ciento sea bastante bajo, como se explica en el blog en Medium escrito por Lindsay Patterson sobre cómo la categoría de infantiles y familia necesita una revisión completa. Independientemente de dónde esté el número, es suficiente para que algunos protagonistas se interesen en el contenido de podcasts para niños. Spotify ha producido un podcast derivado de la exitosa serie de videos sensoriales para niños pequeños llamada CoComelon. GBH Kids está produciendo una adaptación para continuar la famosa serie de PBS Kids recientemente concluida: Arthur (también conocido en español como Arturo). En el lado opuesto de la ecuación, Warner Brothers está optando por los derechos de televisión del podcast inédito: 20 Million Views de Gen-Z Media. Ben Strouse, director ejecutivo de Gen-Z media, contó mientras hablaba con Hollywood Reporter: "Todos buscan buena propiedad intelectual, especialmente buena propiedad intelectual de familia, la cual es con la que contamos". Como han descubierto YouTube, la televisión, y todos los demás medios de comunicación: crear contenido para entretener a los niños es lucrativo. Ahora, el podcasting solo le toca equilibrar la publicidad para audiencias jóvenes con una legislación como la ley de protección de la infancia en internet, la cual restringa severamente las prácticas publicitarias tradicionales. El miércoles, Michael Korsunsky publicó, en la editorial Adweek, un artículo de opinión llamado "How Publishers Can Lessen Their Dependence on FAANG" o en español: Cómo los editores pueden disminuir su dependencia de las FAANG”. Korsunsky empieza con un resumen del presunto acuerdo en el que Google ofreció beneficios a Facebook, tal como tarifas de publicidad digital más bajas, a cambio del apoyo de Facebook al programa de Google llamado Open Bidding. FAANG es una sigla de los cinco protagonistas más grandes en tecnología que consisten en Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix y Google. Y estas noticias hacen aparecer que la F y la G del acrónimo están juntas en cama. Además, Korsunsky no está contento. Él dice: “la noticia es una traición a la confianza de los editores, y destaca una vez más el dominio abrumador del jardín amurallado; y por lo tanto, debe tratarse como un punto de referencia para todos los especialistas en marketing digital.” Korsunsky cree que es hora de vencer los oscuros mercados abiertos y recibir con gusto transacciones directas y transparentes en los mercados privados. ¿Qué significa esto para los podcasts? Como industria, el podcasting está mejor posicionada para expandirse con programática a través de mercados privados, brindando más transparencia y mejores relaciones que los mercados abiertos. Si los anunciantes aceptan encontrar esta solución más preferible FUERA del podcasting, es probable que aumente las ventas programáticas DENTRO del podcasting. Manuela: Otra vez le traemos impactantes noticias publicadas en Twitter. El lunes, el director ejecutivo de Digital Content Next, Jason Kint, publicó un hilo de Twitter analizando las novedades en una demanda de privacidad contra Google en las cortes en el norte de California. La orden judicial exige que Ernst & Young, el auditor independiente de Google, renuncie inmediatamente a todos los archivos relevantes para la demanda. También se le ordena a Google que muestre motivos por los cuales no deben ser sancionados teniendo en cuenta la nueva información que sugiere que Google supuestamente ordenó a Ernst & Young que retuviera más de seis mil documentos confidenciales relevantes para el caso. Es una mala imagen que Ernst & Young participe de esta manera para Google, considerando que ellos realizan la gran parte de la auditoría en toda la industria publicitaria,” fin de cita. Además de las implicaciones de la industria publicitaria, Ernst & Young es una de las principales empresas de auditoría para certificaciones, como las del IAB, el Interactive Advertising Bureau.

In this episode we focus on the question of what should be done to constrain the dominance of the tech platforms, and to regulate the ways in which they control aspects of our economy, markets and the public sphere. First up, we hear from Alec MacGillis, a reporter for ProPublica that has just written a book that considers Amazon's dominance and what it means for wealth of American cities and people called https://www.amazon.com/Fulfillment-Winning-Losing-One-Click-America/dp/0374159270 (Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in One-Click America). Then, we listen to a panel discussion from the Betalab: Fix The Internet program at Betaworks.

An incredibly detailed twitter thread on ACCC report on google* Last week? We took a very high level look at a report from the ACCC into the digital advertising market - this isn't the media code, but moreseo looking at how competition in the digital advertising market which happens to be dominated by Google and Facebook. * Jason Kint has taken a deep dive into the 222-page report. He is an expert on the Digital Duopoly (Goog & FB) and he is the CEO of Digital Content Next which is an industry association that represents big publishers in the US like the NYT & Conde Nast. * "hands-down the best report I've ever seen on adtech complex - creates an overwhelmingly clear picture of the problem." Almost makes me want to read it! * One of the key findings of that report is Google's tech is the whole way along the advertising supply chain, that means its technology is representing the advertiser who is bidding on an ad spot and the publisher who is selling an ad spot. * Kint says "the report pretty much summarizes that both sides of the market are screwed due to Google's adtech monopoly power" - DSP and an SSP * He notes that a lot of Google's advantages come from the massive amount of data it collects on us, which make its advertising tools so much more effective than anyone else (except maybe FB). One proposed solution is to make Google silo its data and act as a service provider when selling ad tech. * All of this may go some way to explaining why publishers are so pissed off and pushing the media code so hard Aussies' iPhone obsession is saving the phone industryJohn Davidson of the Fin shares sales figures of mobile phones in the last quarterThe numbers show a modest increase in sales for the last q of 2020, up from 3 per cent A small growth, but much better than the “disastrous” sales at the start of the year, which makes a lot of senseThe rebound was not enough to make up for the slow start to the year, however, and the industry exited 2020 having sold just 8.38 million phones, down 1 per cent compared with the 8.44 million phones sold in 2019.The rebound was led by Apple, which had a bumper final quarter of the year after the release of its iPhone 12. Its market share increased by 3.8 percentage points in the year, Telsyte figures show.The iPhone now has 46.2 per cent of Australian phone sales, compared with 53.8 per cent for the entire Android market.Salesforce declares the 9-to-5 workday dead, will let some employees work remotely from now onIt's almost a year since we all got sent home from the office and companies are still working out what to do about remote work. Facebook, Microsoft, Dropbox have all announced permanent WFH policies in response to the pandemic. Salesforce says the “9-to-5 workday is dead” and that it will allow employees to choose one of three categories that dictate how often, if ever, they return to the office once it's safe to do so. Behind Door number one is Flex - which means coming into the office 3 days per week for team meeting etc. and 2 days at home to hang the washing out and get your packages delivered. The second option is fully remote - committing to a lifetime of Zoom calls and the third is office based, like the before... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week on “Marketing Today,” Alan’s guest is Jason Kint, CEO of Digital Content Next, a nonprofit trade organization that plays a strategic role working on behalf of digital content companies in managing direct relationships between consumers and marketers. In doing so, DCN provides research and advocacy in guiding established media companies, including The New York Times, NBC, Condé Nast, and ESPN, as well as digitally native organizations like Slate, Vox, and Business Insider. During the course of his discussion with Alan, Kint outlines DCN’s premium digital advertising marketplace, TrustX, and he discusses the duopoly of Facebook and Google as well as the issue of trust — or lack thereof — when it comes to those two platforms. In talking about the state of affairs in the digital realm regarding privacy practices and their impact on consumer trust, Kint says, “If you look at the data around user trust, in the digital environment and digital advertising, whether it be banners and buttons or on mobile or any format, it’s really, really low relative to television and magazines or any other format. ‘Why is that?’ Because consumers have never gotten comfortable with the way the digital advertising experience works, and this idea that they’re being tracked across the web only makes that worse.” Kint goes on to add, “And so it’s something, as an industry, we have to solve for.” Highlights from this week’s “Marketing Today” podcast include: Kint describes the career path that led him to Digital Content Next, and he provides an overview of DCN and its focus on premium publishers. (1:49) The great wall of Facebook and Google: Kint discusses the duopoly’s impact on content creators. (4:40) Kint’s take on today’s publishing models — and what those models might look like in the future. (8:50) What happens when billionaires buy media companies. (12:02) DCN’s stance on privacy practices. (15:55) Kint on DCN’s subsidiary, TrustX, and what it offers — “That’s exactly what TrustX is focused on: One hundred percent transparency, you know where your ads run, and you know where your money is going.” (19:47) Kint: “The pressure and the discussion around journalism and the press, and protecting it as an institution, has fueled me even more so in the last couple of years.” (29:27) Kint talks about veteran Filipino journalist, Maria Ressa, and the online news platform, Rappler, she co-founded with three other female journalists. Ressa was among the journalists honored collectively as Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2018. (30:44) Support the show.

Jason Kint, the CEO of Digital Content Next, the trade association for online publishers, takes us through the organisation's aims and ambitions, why the Duopoly has skewed the playing field for digital publishers, and why it is vital that Google and Facebook can be held accountable for a lack of transparency. In the news roundup Chris and Peter discuss the NYT's chief executive Mark Thompson's take on the state of local news, Pinterest taking an editorial role over the elimination of antivax content, and whether Medium's Netflix-like approach to content creation can work. Chris makes wild, unsubstantiated claims about his Tetris skills.

Scott Matter is a sociocultural anthropologist and a political ecologist with experience both in the strategic design sector as well as in the academic sector. He has run projects in four countries on three continents, in a range of rural, urban and digital spaces. He holds a PhD in anthropology from McGill University, was a post doc fellow with Rutgers University and an anthropology lecturer with the University of Vermont. He is currently a Lead Product Designer in a digital news media company in Australia. His motivation and goal is to help solve complex problems and transform products, services, organisations and the world by applying a holistic, systems-thinking approach to service design, research and strategy. In today's episode we talk to Scott about what it's like to work as an anthropologist in the media sector. We talk about the ethics, implications and effects of measuring engagement metrics in media and how to approach the design of more “human” metrics like value and impact. We cover the definition of “fake news” and relation to trust and reputation. He speaks to using co-design as a means to keep designers and product managers “honest” to the consumer impact throughout the development process. Lastly we talk about the differences and synergies between business and academic ethnography and what makes it fun for him to do both.

The big tech platforms where many people get their news wield significant power. How do they work with publishers, and are they doing enough to combat "fake" news? FT global media editor Matt Garrahan put the questions to a panel of experts at the FT's Future of News conference in New York earlier this month. Guests are Campbell Brown, head of news partnerships at Facebook, Emily Bell, director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University, Jason Kint, chief executive of Digital Content Next and Richard Gingras, vice president of news at Google.

I spoke with Jason Kint, CEO of Digital Content Next. In our podcast we discuss pressing issues for publishers and marketeers including: native advertising, adblocking, micropayments, measurement, the media economy and publisher business models, transparency in the advertising market, and Facebook’s decision to show ads to adblockers. As CEO of DCN Jason represents the most prestigious publishers in the world, including The New York Times, The Financial Times, Disney, Bloomberg, Vox. Highlight statements from this podcast: "The consumer has a right to have an adblocker. People ask me if that’s unethical and I say absolutely not." - Jason Kint, CEO of DCN "The publisher has a right to serve advertising to the audience. … If the audience comes into a site and has an adblocker and the publisher goes ahead and serves advertising to that audience I think there should be some sort of disclosure about that, and that advertising should meet the consumer’s expectations. And if it solves for the issues of a better user experience, security, and privacy, then I think it’s OK. And I don’t think the audience is going to have any issue with that either. That’s part of the value exchange." - Jason Kint, CEO of DCN The discussion was recorded on 2 September 2016.
