In a move into the old-fashioned business of ink on paper, Google is going to start selling advertisements that will appear in the print editions of 50 major newspapers.確かに、昨今のオンライン広告の台頭は出版業界/新聞業界にとっては脅威以外のなにものでもないし、そんな中で、突然に(でもないが)Google様から差し出されたこの救いの手(んなワケはないか)をなんの躊躇もなく掴むとのには、いささか勇気がいることかも知れない。
Google’s plan will give the publishing business a high-tech twist: the company will expand its computer system, which already auctions off advertisements on millions of Web sites, to take bids for newspaper ads as well. Hoping to reach out to a new crop of customers, such as small businesses and online retailers, many of the largest newspaper companies, including Gannett, the Tribune Company, The New York Times Company, the Washington Post Company and Hearst, have agreed to try the system in a three-month test set to start later this month.
For Google, the test is an important step to the company’s audacious long-term goal: to build a single computer system through which advertisers can promote their products in any medium. For the newspaper industry, reeling from the loss of both readers and advertisers, this new system offers a curious bargain: the publishers can get much-needed revenue but in doing so they may well make Google — which is already the biggest seller of online advertising — even stronger.

I think the issue here for Google really comes down to scale and context. Print advertising is a maddeningly "human" business, driven by passion, emotion, and gut feeling. I'm not sure that's ever going to go away. Ads for a specific, community driven audience need to be part of a conversation, not an algorithm. However, I can see this working well for remnant/backfill, as well as classifieds, where I'm guessing the system will really excel.アタシ的にはタダ単に時代が変わっていく中で手法が変わっていってるダケのハナシって言う風に受け止めているので、それほど懐疑的には思ってもいない。いや、むしろこういう動きの中で既存のメディアにも新しいチャンスがあると言う風にも受け止めてたりもする。ましてや、オーディエンスを細分化し、適切なセグメントへ求められている情報を届けたいと願うのは、PRパーソンの最も求めていることだとも思えるし。
