Ten years may be too long to wait for this change. Perhaps, AP should start paying providers NOW and not later. This goes along with the idea of content creators banding together to syndicate their work and charge for its use on other web sites. Difficult, but not impossible, is what I've heard about that proposal.

Worth passing around the office, maybe. The good news is that the AP actually did a significant portion of it in their study, which is available to anyone online.

The trick is to find out where they are already spending their time and meet them there, on their turf." So true. We've got to do our homework. “The on-demand generation does not want to be forced onto your field.
