David MacLeod's UK task force is looking for any recent studies that show the connection between performance and employee engagement. Specific case studies would be useful as well as any controlled academic studies.
Please leave a link or description of where we could get the information.
Thanks for letting all of us know what you know.
Views: 945
Found this study on Twitter. Temkin report. Cost is $195. http://experiencematters.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/report-employee-e...
The research found that highly engaged employees are extremely valuable to companies. Compared with disengaged employees, highly engaged employees are:
Advances In Developing Human Resources:
Good source for more academic journal articles on employee engagement:
David, thanks for posting about the Advances Issue on Engagement. This was great fun to put together.
Inside the Issue are two case studies that could be of interest to EE Network Members: (a) one with a private company in the US and (b) one with a division of the US Government. Both discuss how each respective author team worked to increase engagement inside the organization they were working with at the time. The cases were written by the people who implemented the programs and as a rule, are very practical and useful in nature.
There are also several other articles in the Special Issue (empirical and conceptual), each written with a spin toward implications for practice. For example, Reio & Reio discuss incivility and engagement, Fairle discusses meaningful work and engagement, and Wollard discusses disengagement and provides a new framework. all in all a great collection.
Here are three other pieces outside of the Advances Issue that might be of interest and that discuss EE from a performance connection perspective:
Take care everyone, and please feel free to reach out if there is anything I can be helpful with particularly in regards to research and EE. Happy reading! Thanks again David.
Warm regards-
It is an honor to share sound and solid information on engagement. All the best in all your work.
Aon Hewett's Trends in Employee Engagement Report.
Overall Findings
Aon Hewitt's global engagement research from 2008 to 2010 includes 6.7 million employees and represents
more than 2,900 organizations
This Workforce Now online magazine has a three page article on engagement and performance:
IABC 2011 Employee Engagement Study
• A comparison of surveys year-over-year indicates small but encouraging growth in the size of organizational
communication departments.
• Nearly 60 percent of the participants reported that their communication departments were able to influence
their organizations' agendas, priorities or goals (47 percent agreed; 11 percent agreed strongly).
• More than 50 percent of respondents said their organizations added content-sharing tools to their intranets
within the past five years. Employee profiles/bios, news feeds, traditional blogs and various collaboration tools
were popular additions.
This year, 49 percent of respondents say their organizations have policies in place for use of internal or external
social media. Nearly 30 percent say the policies are being developed currently. Last year, the survey divided this
question between internal and external social media. Even though the questions were asked differently this year, it
is clear the number of organizations with social media policies is growing steadily.
We believe the last point above is important for communicators to consider. The differences between internal and
external communication are blurring as social media becomes integrated commonly into employee engagement
strategies. Organizations that communicate effectively through social media are finding that it enhances a positive
workplace culture and improves employee engagement as well as it enforces a positive external reputation.
5 Companies, 5 Different Takes on Employee Engagement
SAP, the business software giant, harnessed the power of a shared vision to affect employee commuting. In preparation for the scores of visitors that would arrive for the 2010 Olympics, Vancouver's transit authority asked for a commitment from businesses to reduce traffic by at least 30 percent.
Electric Vehicles (EV's) offer the opportunity to slash energy consumption and carbon emissions. To become more widely adopted, making it easy to refuel EV's is critical. At its Silicon Valley campus, Google deployed 120 ChargePoint charging stations by Coulomb Technologies, with a goal to provide 5 percent of its parking with charging. Employees and visitors now easily charge-up to extend their EV's range.
Saatchi's DOT program -- Do One Thing -- is a public pledge "to start a personal sustainability practice that is meaningful to the pledger," according to Kelly Petrich, Senior Strategist.Saatchi works with organizations to help them establish DOT programs. They also set up a website where anyone can make a pledge. Some participants put their DOT on their business cards. That can be a smart move: Change management guru Robert Cialdini calls a public pledge as an ideal way to gain commitment.
Mercer on communication and engagement:
Engaged employees outperform their non-engaged coworkers. Once viewed with some skepticism, that statement is now widely accepted as fact. A growing body of evidence over the past decade validates the quantifiable relationship between levels of organizational engagement and financial performance.
Additionally, Towers Watson research has identified other critical factors that play important roles in productivity and results. Employers can build a workplace in which engagement combines with enablement and energy to open the door wider to significant performance improvement.

Writes The Gawker:
Look, it's Ron Paul! But what is he doing in New York, the fancy magazine for elites, alongside establishment finance types like a former Morgan Stanley economist and a famous investor? Isn't he sort of "kooky?" Everyone (who didn't live in a basement or wasn't a furry) laughed at Paul's quest for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, especially since Paul wanted to get rid of the Federal Reserve and take America back to the gold standard, in which money is backed by something other than the worthless promises of filthy bankers and shiftless bureaucrats. But now it looks like the Fed's board of governors may be leading us into depression, and even that capitalist bible the Wall Street Journal ran an article this weekend speculating that the thinking behind the gold standard, if not the standard itself, "will have its day again." So Paul's stock is rising! Let's hear what terrible things he has to say about our future:
"I think we are maybe 10 percent into this crisis. The economic distortions have been building for longer than we've seen in the history of the world. Never have we had such confidence falsely placed in a reserve currency."
Ha ha, you know what's funny about that Ron Paul quote? It's probably the least disturbing one in the entire New York charticle. The people from inside the financial system sound far more depressing. Here's the former Morgan Stanley chief economist:
"The American consumer is toast. We're talking a multiyear adjustment, at least two or three years, maybe more. Does that mean America is over? Does that mean we have a whole new world order? The jury's out on that.
If you really want to ruin your Monday, go ahead and click through and read the other two quotes. The short version is that you'll soon be starving in the street, but in the meantime don't stop reading, because there's this new tapas place New York would like to tell you about!

Report: $100 subsidized Xbox 360 Kinect bundle coming next week
An Xbox 360 in every home. That's Microsoft's line of thought. A new report details Microsoft's plans to bring a low-cost Xbox 360 by bundling it with a mandatory two-year monthly Xbox Live Gold subscription. Who still needs an Xbox 360?
In an exclusive report from The Verge, the tech blog states that a 4GB Xbox 360 with Kinect bundle will arrive next week with a subsidized price of $100. The subscription fee will be $15 a month — for Xbox Live Gold membership — for two years.
The Verge says the subsidized console will be sold at Microsoft Stores in the U.S., but it's unclear if it'll also be sold in other retails or online.
Calculating a little basic arithmetic for minute, the total after two years would be $460 ($100 Xbox 360 + $360 monthly subscription for two years).
If you were to buy the $300 4GB Xbox 360 Kinect bundle that's widely available separately with a two-year Xbox Live Gold membership separately ($120 for two years), it'd come out to $420 (that's with either Kinect Adventures or that and Kinect Sports for the white 4GB Kinect Family bundle). A new subsidized Xbox 360 would only short you $40.
Crunching the numbers some more, if you were to buy all of the parts of the bundle separately, it'd come down to $470 ($200 4GB Xbox 360 + $150 Kinect + $120 Xbox Live Gold for two years).
To sum up: the subsidized Xbox 360 Kinect bundle is $10 cheaper than buying it all separately — both options which come with zero games. The best deal is still the 4GB Kinect Bundle as it saves you $40 and throws in two games).
If you don't care for Xbox Live, the alternative options become $120 cheaper.
So, what exactly is Microsoft trying to accomplish with a $100 Xbox 360 + Kinect bundle? The same thing cellphone carriers do with the iPhone and any other hot smartphone or tablet: throw a cheap upfront price in exchange for subscription fees.
It's understandable if the cost of an Xbox 360 and Kinect is hard to swallow at once, but if you're smart, you won't fall for Microsoft's new option. It's not worth it.
From a marketing perspective, it's kind of ingenious. Shoppers will see the $100 Xbox + Kinect deal as a huge value over the $100 Apple TV or $100 Roku XS (not thinking much of the attached monthly fees). It's marketing 101 and $100 just happens to be the magic price point at which game consoles become impulse buys.
Between this and all the limited edition Xbox 360 bundles, Microsoft is clearly pulling out all the guns to keep the Xbox 360 relevant six years after it launched. After all, an Xbox 360 successor will not be announced at E3.

Mindful Travel and Tourist Education Program
After centuries of relative isolation Ladakh was suddenly thrown open to 'development' and tourism in the mid-1970s. This 'development' brought many changes to the previously peaceful, prosperous and largely self-reliant culture of Ladakh. Junk food, plastic consumer goods, pollution, and toxics including DDT and asbestos came to the region as part of this process. Just as dramatic as these environmental impacts have been the psychological effects of Western-style education, television and advertising, all of which glamorize an urban consumer life-style, giving the impression that life in the West is one of limitless wealth and leisure. The influx of tourists has added to the impression that life in the West is infinitely better than in Ladakh.
Tourists will often spend the same amount in a day that a whole family in a Ladakhi village might spend in a year. As a consequence, Ladakhis, particularly the young people, feel that their lifestyle seems poor and backward. Tourists, in turn, often unwittingly reinforce these feelings and insecurities. Having no way of knowing the degree to which Ladakhis have traditionally been self-reliant, they are often horrified to hear of daily wages as low as five dollars, or of an absence of electricity. Generally, neither tourists nor Ladakhis reflect on the fact that money plays a completely different role in the West, where it's needed for basic survival.
These misunderstandings are born of a lack of complete information and real communication between tourists and Ladakhis. We have found that greater knowledge about what is happening around the world, not isolationism, is the surest way for Ladakhis to take control over their own future. Recognizing that tourism is a powerful agent of change, we make great efforts to reach out to visitors to invite them to participate in solutions at every level: from cultural awareness, to ecologically sensitive behavior, to supporting alternatives both in Ladakh and in their own home communities.
The Mindful Travel / Tourist Education program seeks to address this knowledge gap and foster greater understanding about the root causes of cultural breakdown and about strategic solutions. The specific objectives are:
• To introduce tourists to Ladakh past and present.
• To sensitize tourists to their impact during their stay in Ladakh and give them guidelines for culturally, economically and ecologically responsible behavior.
• To encourage tourists to make the links between changes in Ladakh and those experienced at home.
Daily Workshops
Our tourist education activities include daily (except Sundays) workshops which attract more than 4,000 visitors each year. The workshops are held at 2pm, at the Ladakh Ecological Development Group (LEDeG), about a five to ten minute walk north of the main bazaar in Leh. The workshops include screenings of Local Futures' educational films: Ancient Futures (1993); Paradise with Side Effects (2004), and The Economics of Happiness (2011). The films are followed by wide-ranging discussions facilitated by ISEC staff and volunteers.

Thomas Warren, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Microsoft faces accusations of potential racism related to its patent for a new pedestrian-friendly map application.
The GPS system being developed by the software giant has no name, but it's been nicknamed the "Avoid Ghetto" app by some because of how it calculates a specified route. The system accounts for crime statistics and demographic information when telling pedestrians where to go.
Microsoft does not say how crime statistics will be gathered, but some people believe the app directs a slight at poor neighborhoods.
Claudio Cabrera at TheRoot.com writes that the app is "absolutely ludicrous" and says Microsoft should be ashamed.
Sarah E. Chinn, author of "Technology and the Logic of American Racism," tells AOL Autos the app is "pretty appalling."
"Of course, an application like this defines crime pretty narrowly, since all crimes happen in all kinds of neighborhoods," Chinn says. "I can't imagine that there aren't perpetrators of domestic violence, petty and insignificant drug possession, fraud, theft, and rape in every area."
In its patent submission, Microsoft says pedestrians can face more potential harm when traveling than a driver protected by a car.
"It can be more dangerous for a pedestrian to enter an unsafe neighborhood then [sic] a person in a vehicle since a pedestrian is more exposed and it is more difficult for her to leave an unsafe neighborhood quickly," the submission says.
The company says app users will get a route taking those factors into account.
The system is built to compile various criteria -- which along with crime statistics, can include user history and weather information -- and present routes based on rankings. The route options then appear on a user's smartphone.
The user will have options to filter search results based on certain preferences, such as "keeping a user safe." There's also an option for a blind user to have search results read aloud or printed in Braille.
The application is five years in the making. Developers say it will work on Windows 7 smartphones.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 517 - 11 April, 2000
Written Answers. - Family Support Services.
Mr. Gilmore Mr. Gilmore
86. Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Social, Community and Family Affairs the progress in implementing the Report of the Commission on the Family; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10516/00]
Mr. D. Ahern Mr. D. Ahern
Minister for Social, Community and Family Affairs (Mr. D. Ahern): The final report of the Commission on the Family, Strengthening Families for Life was published by the Government in July 1998. The report contains a comprehensive [1359] and in-depth analysis of the issues affecting families in Ireland and wide-ranging recommendations across several policy areas.
The Government is committed to adopting a "families first" approach by putting the family at the centre of all its policies. The family affairs unit which has been established in my Department with a range of responsibilities in relation to family services has a specific function to pursue the findings in the commission's report following their consideration by the Government.
Government priorities for the development of family policy and services in An Action Programme for the Millennium and in the review of the action programme have brought about significant progress in areas highlighted by the commission on the family.
For the third year in a row since this Government took office, significant extra resources, this year amounting to some £10 million, have been provided for the development of family services in my Department. This compares to £1.5 million in 1997. Major improvement in family services which I have introduced include:–
–A record £3.75 million this year for voluntary organisations providing marriage and child counselling services and bereavement counselling and support services. This is more than four times the amount provided in 1997. Some 400 voluntary groups have applied for grant funding this year. Applications are being processed at present in my Department.
–The nationwide family mediation service as promised in the Action Programme for the Millennium is now in place. The service is now available from centres in Cork, Tralee, Wexford, Athlone, Dundalk, Galway, Tallaght in west Dublin and Castlebar in addition to the Limerick centre and the Dublin centre which has been relocated to larger premises to deal with more clients. Last year more than 1,000 couples were assisted by the service. I now plan to establish the service on a statutory basis.
–Some 56 centres are now either up and running or in the process of being set up under the family and community services resource centre programme, under which ten centres were being funded at the beginning of 1998. The target is 100 over the coming years. This year some £3 million has been allocated to develop the programme.
I have introduced a families research programme to help shape the development of family policy and services in the future. A feasibility study into what would be involved in undertaking a national longitudinal study of children in Ireland is to be undertaken by my Department jointly with the Department of Health and Children. I expect to make an announcement about the commencement of the project in the next few weeks.
Family services projects providing high quality information about the range of supports available [1360] to families from State agencies and from the community and voluntary sector with a particular emphasis on services available locally are being piloted in three local offices of my Department – Cork, Waterford and Finglas in Dublin. The Government has allocated £12 million in the national development plan for the progressive expansion of the successful elements of the programme over the period 2000-06.
More than 1000 people from local voluntary groups that work with families have attended family service information fora which I have held throughout the country. The fora provide an opportunity to discuss the findings of the commission on the family and the needs of local communities in supporting families.
Government priorities to radically improve provision for pensioners, carers and dependent spouses and children in households on low incomes address areas highlighted by the commission in its report. The £428 million budget package for social welfare increases this year includes significant improvements in all rates of payment for pensioners, monthly increases in child benefit of £8 per child for the first and second child and £10 for subsequent children and a new carers benefit to enable carers to give up work temporarily to provide care full time while still retaining their employment rights.
The overall package provides in addition for increases of over 5% in other payments, improvements in employment supports, in the means test and in the free schemes for carers and a new widowed parents grant of £1,000 – in all a radical and innovative package to improve the position of those who are most vulnerable in society and to support families in carrying out their essential caring responsibilities for children and other dependent family members.
My colleagues in Government are progressing a number of significant policy issues in their own areas of responsibility in line with the Government's pro-families approach. The Minister for Education and Science has a number of initiatives under way in relation to early education, investment at primary level in schools and in tackling educational disadvantage. The Minister for Health and Children has announced proposals for a national children's strategy to support the delivery of an integrated childcare policy. Progress has been made in relation to the introduction of parental leave and investment in childcare projects in disadvantaged communities. In the Programme for Prosperity and Fairness the Government and social partners are committed to support family life, offer choices for families and equal opportunities for both men and women to play an active caring role in families through a range of measures to address childcare needs and promote the adoption of family friendly work practices and policies.

Behind the Video: DJ Khaled f/ Drake, Lil Wayne, & Rick Ross – 'I'm on One' »
Kevin Rudolf Working on New Music for Rihanna, Lil Wayne
Some of music's biggest names have come to Kevin Rudolf in search of their next hit. The Cash Money singer-producer reveals that Rihanna, Leona Lewis, and Lil Wayne are among those enlisting his services.
The "Let It Rock" hitmaker has been submitting material for the "S&M" singer's sixth album. "[I'm] writing some stuff for Rihanna right now," he told Rap-Up.com. "I hear she's back at it."
In addition to working on RiRi's next project, he contributed to Lil Wayne's long-awaited Carter IV. "Wayne records a lot of records and no one knows but Wayne until the very end what ends up on the album, but we did a couple things together that are pretty exciting," he shared. "Wayne is actually one of the few artists that keeps getting better and better, so I'm just happy to be along for the ride and be part of Cash Money."
And if that wasn't enough to keep him busy, Rudolf has been in and out of the studio writing for Leona Lewis and B.o.B while recording a follow-up to his 2010 album To the Sky. "I'm working on a new album right now actually," he said. "[I'm] in the midst of it, so we're looking to drop a single probably in the next few months. I'm not gonna rush it, but definitely keep an eye out for it."Tweet

We had a bag of leftover corn tortillas sitting on the counter from the delicious veg fajitas I made last weekend. I needed to do something with them before they went bad, and settled on these black bean and cheese quesadillas. I was inspired to make them after having an Amy's frozen Black Bean Enchilada meal. It was so good, you couldn't really tell there wasn't meat in it, and I thought this would translate well into a quesadilla.
I've been trying to use carrots in every dish I make because I have a huuuuge bag of carrots in the fridge and don't want them to go bad. All the dishes I've been cooking have carrots: smoothies, stews, soups, fried rice. You name it, probably has carrots in it. Adding chopped carrots that I processed in the food processor were a great addition and added a certain, subtle sweetness to the quesadilla.
I tried this recipe with both corn and flour tortillas, and prefer it with flour tortillas. Corn tortillas make them more crunchy when fried. To make this even healthier, you can bake the quesadillas at 400F for about 5-6 minutes making sure the cheese has melted before pulling them out.
I made my own taco seasoning the last time I made fajitas, and it is so good and flavorful that I will never buy a taco seasoning packet ever again. There are no preservatives, just authentic Mexican spices to add intense flavor to these quesadillas. I've attached my recipe below – the spiciness can be adjusted by adding more/less chili powder.
- Olive oil spray
- 1 cup black beans, pre-soaked, cooked
- 1 tomato, de-seeded, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 2 1/2 Tbsp taco seasoning *
- 1 cup medium cheddar cheese
- Corn/Flour tortillas
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add in carrots along with garlic powder and freshly minced ginger. Cook until the carrots start to soften and caramelize.
- Add chopped tomato, and black beans along with the taco seasoning. Stir everything till well mixed, for about 5 minutes. Take off heat.
- Place tortilla in a pan sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. Spoon mixture over half of tortilla. Sprinkle cheese, and fold remaining half of tortilla over mixture. Cook for a couple minutes till the bottom is golden brown, and flip. Cook other side till cheese is melted.
- Cut into wedges. Serve with salsa & guac.
- 1/2 tsp onion flakes
- 1/4 tsp oregano powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika powder
- 2 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp black pepper powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container.

We're home, sort of. The Queen Mary is outside my cabin window, meaning that the Angels Fan Cruise from Long Beach to Ensenada and back will soon be coming to an end.
Oh, and it's Monday morning – What happened to Saturday and Sunday? – which means I should probably blog that the 300 or so Angels fans are docked.
After three days of too much eating, drinking, laughing, gambling, lounging, photo-taking, autograph-seeking and other assorted actions about which we on the Carnival Inspiration will NEVER repeat to another living soul, the Angels Fan Cruise has been a success. (I'll file a slide show and column of the "experience" on Tuesday morning.)
The past 24 hours has been loaded with organized – and some rather unplanned – activities. Angels Hank Conger, Mark Trumbo, Peter Bourjos and Steve Soliz, after a long Saturday of hedonism, were up and alert for an 8:30 a.m. autograph and question-and-answer session on Sunday.
Soliz had the best question of the event, "Who scheduled this for 8:30 on the Sunday morning?" Also Sunday was the group photo during which the 300 Angels fans took up both sides of the spiral staircase, double the turnout and space for last year's photo.
The players joined fans for two hours for trivia in the afternoon and an 8:15 dinner, which featured a birthday cake and candles for Conger, who won over legions of fans with his humor and fun-loving attitude during the cruise.
Between trivia and dinner, the players got in a round of miniature golf on the sports deck atop the ship.

Kevin Martin, who grew up near Waxhaw and now heads the Federal Communications Commission, was in Charlotte this week to talk digital television.
People living on the dark side of the moon for the last year are probably the only ones who don't know that on Feb. 17, 2009, television stations will quit broadcasting shows the way they have since the 1940s. Transmitters will switch over to a digital technology, and old TVs with rabbit ears won't be able to pick them up.
It doesn't matter to the 90 percent of the public that gets TV through cable or satellite. They won't notice any change.
But people who get TV the old-fashioned way – over the air, picked up on an antenna – will need to get a converter and hook it up to their TVs. Boy Scouts should stop selling popcorn and go door-to-door offering to hook them up for $10 a shot. They'd find plenty of takers.
Stations in Wilmington agreed to be guinea pigs and went digital in September. Thousands of calls came in to special DTV phone banks from people who suddenly lost their picture.
Martin says 98 percent of the public was aware of the switch, but some were still caught without a signal. Most who had gotten a converter but couldn't get it to work were coached over the phone.
"There's a button you must push, a scan button, to look for the stations," he says. "And your antenna needs to be pointed in the right direction."
By clearing out space on the broadcast spectrum formerly occupied by TV, more frequencies are available for emergency services. What was left over was auctioned off for about $20 billion.
Wireless broadband will probably occupy that spectrum, meaning in a few years you'll be able to watch TV on your cell phone and get wireless Internet at broadband speeds.

Iowa House Kills Prize-linked Savings Bill (Misc News: April 14, 2011)
The Iowa House has killed a bill that would allow prize-linked savings raffles such as Save to Win. And the Iowa Credit Union League is blaming banks.
"The banks have killed a bill that we believe would help people save and manage their financial futures," Justin Hupfer, vice president of government affairs for the Iowa Credit Union League, told the Des Moines Register.
The IOwa league ran newspaper ads last week asking Iowans to call their state representatives to get the legislation passed. The ads attacked Iowa banks for opposing the bill.
"It's pretty simple: They don't think you should be rewarded for saving more," the ad said. "The bankers' greed to increase profits and limit all competition is getting in the way of common sense efforts to help Iowa families."
Iowa's House State Government Committee approved the bill but it was not put on the House's unfinished-business calendar.
"There did not appear to be support in the House for this measure," Majority Leader Linda Upmeyer said. "Personally, I found it difficult to reconcile that type of system with what we're working towards - financial literacy and increasing personal savings."
The Iowa Bankers Association submitted a letter to the paper saying that using raffles as an incentive for saving is "counterintuitive to our state's financial literacy efforts."
"Unlike most Iowans, credit unions are exempt from paying state and federal income tax. Offering a $100,000 raffle prize to one lucky winner is not an appropriate use of the credit unions' tax exemption," the bankers group said. "The solution to a better financial future starts by empowering Iowans with financial education, not by offering a game of chance."
Hupfer said the credit unions will try again next year to get House approval of the legislation.
"The banks have killed a bill that we believe would help people save and manage their financial futures," said Justin Hupfer, vice president of government affairs for the Iowa Credit Union League.
Some other states, including Washington and North Carolina, are also considering bills that would allow programs such as Save to Win.

"As the rhetoric over how Google "rips-off" newspapers, magazines and other print publishers continues, a thought occurred to me this weekend," observes Danny Sullivan over at his personal blog Daggle. "Perhaps Google should charge publications whose reporters tap into the service to research their stories? Perhaps that might underscore, especially for the Associated Press, the absurdity of trying to charge for the mere right to link to content and summarize what stories are about."
I totally agree with Danny, who is editor-in-chief of Search Engine Land. He has much more to say in "Do Newspapers Owe Google "Fair Share" Fees For Researching Stories? "
By the way, I also agree with Jeff Jarvis that Google should end its agreement with the AP, which earns the wire service millions of dollars. But that's not enough. The AP wants special treatment. See "Google: Drop the AP first."
