Publishers are wrestling with Facebook's desire to own Facebook-funded Watch shows

Facebook wants to own more of the shows it subsidizes for Facebook Watch, but publishers are not always willing to give those rights away. As digital publishers pivot to entertainment, with a focus on producing more episodic and serialized video shows instead of one-off video clips, ownership over the intellectual property has become more important.

"While it's still important to get our brand across as many channels as possible, reach is not a wise game to play in the long term." The Economist's latest app prioritizes reader retention over acquisition as the publisher looks to drive subscriptions.

Nothing is simple when it comes to the General Data Protection Regulation, and consent management providers are no different. Companies are using CMPs to get their GDPR house in order.

Absolut plans to use Twitter to let people shop from tweets, as consumer goods makers start to take the platform more seriously. Other advertisers, however, have yet to be convinced.

"If skinny bundles on OTT work, Cheddar will be there, and we will win." Business-news startup Cheddar's CEO Jon Steinberg discussed diversifying revenue, competing with CNBC and CNN, being part of OTT bundles and more on the latest Digiday Podcast.
