While newspapers' engagement with Google has the potential to just be one giant awkward moment, Chris Jansen, head of local news, global partnerships with Google, said he welcomed the opportunity at the 2022 Mega-Conference to engage with publishers during the opening keynote session.
"I firmly believe we have to be talking with each other," Jansen said. "We have to be experimenting with each other."
He outlined a number of opportunities that publishers of newspapers at all sizes have with Google, including the Google News Lab and Google for Journalists and was open to discussing the challenges that Google and publishers face.
He was joined in this opening session by PJ Browning, president and publisher of The Post and Courier in Charleston, South Carolina, and Conan Gallaty, CEO and president of the Tampa Bay Times. Dean Ridings, CEO of America's Newspapers, facilitated the discussion.
