No more freeloading

I wholeheartedly support the message on Tuesday’s editorial page (“Facing Facebook and Google: Without a fairer market, quality news can’t thrive,” Nov. 20) and support ending the Free Ride that Facebook and Google are getting when it comes to appropriating the top-tier journalism of the Chicago Tribune, The New York Times and other sources of rigorous and professional journalistic excellence.

FYI, more than 20 years of my career was in the heyday of the evolution and global expansion of information technology at a Fortune 10 enterprise.
