Media Talk USA: Google hits back at the Associated Press

AP has caused controversy by appearing to claim it should be paid for links to its headlines.
Cohen’s comments and AP’s position are analysed by this month’s panelists: former editor and publisher of the now-defunct Rocky Mountain News John Temple, and NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik.
