The global association WAN, in which the Tages-Anzeiger publisher Tamedia is also represented by the Swiss Press Association, wants to prevent search engines such as Google from becoming publishers themselves via their news services. With Acap, a newspaper should allow any search engine to incorporate its online presence into its own website. However, individual articles can only be included for a certain period of time.
