Company Background
One News Page
Name: Marc Pinter-Krainer
Position: Founder & CEO
Company: One News Page Ltd.
Company Information:
One News Page was founded by Marc Pinter-Krainer and Neil Boom in May 2009. Its principal website www.OneNewsPage.com is a global news navigator. Featuring original and syndicated news content from trusted sources, the site helps people discover the best news coverage for a given event or topic of interest.
One News Page features a comprehensive fully searchable news archive of more than 10 million news references and is available in the English language, German (www.NewsDeutschland.com) and Spanish (www.PaginaNoticias.com).
Interest in Online Marketplace:
The Internet has become the most significant distribution mechanism for news. It has brought about radical changes in how news is distributed, consumed and updated.
But it’s an open secret that many traditional news providers are still struggling to adapt their business models to the new world order.
The challenge isn’t only for news vendors. Online news also challenges consumers in how they navigate the ever-increasing numbers of stories that are published globally round the clock.
One News Page offers solutions for news vendors by helping drive traffic to their sites, thereby giving them the opportunity to monetize their content. And it provides solutions to consumers, by enabling them to identify and order their most relevant news sources.
Current Thoughts:
News portals such as One News Page play a significant and fundamental role in the online ecosystem. They are essential navigation tools allowing people to discover news coverage efficiently. They provide value by putting order into the ever-increasing volumes of online news coverage. News portals introduce significant traffic to news providers' websites which would otherwise not reach them.
However, some news industry representatives fail to recognise this and regard the nature of news portals as "parasitic", sparking debate with rather simplistic arguments which envisage a world of online news with no discovery mechanism - in my view an impossibility.
The role of news portals needs be recognised, embraced and included in any successful business model for news providers.
On another matter, the significant value news portals provide by bringing order into online news references needs be recognised also by Internet search engines. Google penalised our site rankings for eight months and we were left in the dark as to why these detrimental measures had been imposed. We support and favour search neutrality - the principle that search engines should have no editorial policies other than that their results be comprehensive, impartial, and based solely on relevance. There is a lot more work to be done to make the online market place fairer and more transparent - essential for resolving an unacceptably high risk profile for any online business relying on search engine traffic.
