Interesting business strategy - Boycott us please.

Comments at the original blog post The Associated Press wants to charge you $12.50 to quote five words from them say that the LA and NY Times both dropped AP's headline ticker in the past 12 months or so, and also, that the AP used to do book reviews but has not done any in the past year or so:

I guess that explains why AP news has disappeared from the NY Times online. There used to be a news "ticker" column with a page that had AP and a page that had Reuters -- now they have only Reuters on their website. I wondered about that.

Also what may have happened to the 'AP wire' section on the LA Times site. I noticed it was gone, but didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.

Xopher -- actually, I did a quick search right after I posted that, and as far as I can tell, the AP used to do book reviews, but they stopped over a year ago. Hmmm...
