summary
Argues that digital journalism is finding a real business model: subscription growth (example 2 million subscribers at a major title), possible 30% margins once print costs drop, and new revenue from paid video deals; warns platforms are buying rights, running "war rooms" against fake news and creating lock‑in (notably WhatsApp lock‑in), cites an EU antitrust move with a €4 billion fine against Android and pushes for a legal publisher right (Article 11 publisher right) so reuse must be paid rather than free.
