AP and 28 News Groups To Collect Fees From Aggregators The Associated Press and 28 other news organizations have launched a project to collect fees from aggregators who are reposting their content around the Web. The project, knowns as NewsRight, will be a separate business that will license original news from the media companies, and collect royalties from aggregators, according to Poynter. The project was formerly known as the News Registry and News Licensing Group, and has been in the pipeline for several years now.
