Forbes Media Chief Warns of ‘Digital Gorilla’ Facebook

Forbes.com: The gorilla in the digital news jungle is Facebook, according to Lewis DVorkin, Forbes Media chief product officer. “Its native video, a salvo fired at YouTube, is being discussed in every newsroom and beyond. Most troubling for news outlets is talk from Facebook about hosting the news stories that its users link to from their feeds. Why send a billion people to places you can’t monetize? The ramifications could be immense. Imagine Facebook using its algorithms to bring recalcitrant news providers to their knees.”
