However, Schmidt dismissed the allegations. According to him, Google actually help promote the media through a number of services without the cost of a penny. Problem copyright, Google also was not violated because only take title and header of each article and then connected to the web page the original news source.

"We donated billions of clicks per month to the mass media from Google News and more than three billion of our services visit the other, such as search engines and iGoogle," said Schmidt. This, he said, giving hundreds of thousands of income opportunities and the chance to attract customers / visitors as much as possible.

He acknowledged the difficulties some media still profit from the business on the internet. However, he said there is no single cause and there is no unilateral solution alone. "The challenge is how to use technology to develop new ways to reach readers and keep them as long as possible, as well as new ways to gain revenue by combining free and paid access," said Schmidt.
