Google has been receiving negative responses from newspapers due to the advertising they have recently decided to place on the news section of their website. In the past Google has refrained from advertising because the newspapers were upset to lose ad dollars to a company that was using news website's headlines and copy. Google maintains that they rely on the success of these news sites in order to exists, and they increase traffic to the news organization's websites as well. This is made evident by the fact that the news organizations are voluntarily giving their content to Google.
