How Google's search antitrust ruling will impact news publishers

After a judge ruled against Google in a landmark antitrust case around search, calling Google "a monopolist," we are covering the fallout. Part of that is how news publishers could be affected, which is why we're talking with Josh Brandau, CEO of AI company Nota. Nota provides AI tools to news publishers so they can be more efficient.

Brandau has deep experience across the advertising field — from being the CMO and CRO of the Los Angeles Times, to stops at ad agencies Pereira O’Dell & Essence Media Com, which partner with Google as part of Group M.

He dives into the challenges of how this search ruling could open up competition and lead to more ad dollars for publishers, the challenges he faced while at the Los Angeles Times and the struggles the news industry has with adapting to technology.
