I think the Omaha World-Herald would pay AP.
It certainly couldn’t/woudn’t pass through the fees.
Take FOX: probably 1/4 of it breaking news links are derived from AP. They’ll pass these costs to their advertisers.
Majority of articles posted on FR are sourced AP. We can’t share AP articles on FR anymore? That would be the kiss of death for FR since we love to discuss Darwin Awards and guilty or not guilty comments.
