Demonstrating a publisher-centric network to easily share — and bill — AI agents and (others) for valuable content

It’s time for publishers to collectively build a public marketplace for digital information. As easy to find and pay for content as to scrape it without paying.

The Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute and the Information Trust Exchange Governing Association are helping news publishers to get paid. To help launch networked tracking and billing — not just AI engines but other users and their “agents” as well:

• For trustworthy, valuable, copyrighted content
• Where publishers maintain control of their subscriber relationship
• And the public has one-bill, one account simplicity even as they roam 

Join our invitation-only virtual Zoom-style demonstration and discussion on Tues., Aug. 25 at 2 p.m. EDT to actively participate with your questions and ideas. For an invitation, email nextstep@itega.org  

In the Aug. 25 session, we will:

• Describe and demonstrate what we and collaborators have initially in mind
• Discuss and invite your questions and feedback 
• Learn and share what’s important to you and your business 
• Outline plans for a working prototype of news sites sharing users and selling content
• Seek consensus on feasible next steps; who will participate? 

An agenda for learning 

Before this “virtual” meeting, you will receive a written agenda and prompting questions. They will help us to collectively learn what will meet publishers’ urgent needs . . . how to build consensus on the right next steps  . . . and who will be aligned to take them.
