Ozone and Content Ignite Partnership Expands UK Publisher Monetisation
Ozone has partnered with publisher monetisation platform Content Ignite to open Ozone’s demand and monetisation technology to Content Ignite’s publisher partners. Ozone, originally formed as The Ozone Project in 2018 by The Guardian, News UK, The Telegraph and Reach, has expanded to include other publishers such as Mail Metro Media and The Independent. Content Ignite’s Fusion ad tech platform is used by more than 400 publishers — including The Observer, Global, Haymarket, The Weather Channel and PinkNews — whose publishers will now gain access to Ozone’s prebid server capability. Ozone says the move aims to give specialist and independent publishers access to monetisation technology typically available to larger publishers, with Ozone’s CTO Danny Spears highlighting the strategic importance of broader access to such technology.
The partnership expands access to advanced monetisation and prebid infrastructure for hundreds of specialist and independent UK publishers, which could boost publisher revenues and alter competitive dynamics in publisher monetisation.

Publishers Push Back Against 'Corrosive Intermediaries'
Danny Spears, COO of publisher alliance Ozone, discusses how publishers face a "perfect storm" of macro pressure, signal loss and declining referral traffic that is straining programmatic revenue. Founded in 2018 by major UK news publishers including The Guardian and The Telegraph, Ozone pools inventory and data to increase publishers' leverage against platform dominance and what Spears calls "corrosive intermediaries" that reallocate publisher margins. Spears highlights publisher responses ranging from the Daily Mail’s investment in premium user experiences and creator programs to smaller outlets like Our Media shifting distribution away from Google SEO to platforms such as Apple News. The conversation covers healthy supply-side optimization for buyers and sellers, Ozone’s US expansion, and how platform-centric attribution complicates publishers’ ability to prove value—issues that affect the sustainability of journalism and publisher monetization strategies.
Meta Removes Language on Scraping and AI Training
Publisher trade groups worldwide are pressuring Meta to alter its planned terms of service, effective October 30, that would allow AI scraping of their content. The initial provision enabled Meta to use content from business accounts' domains, prompting legal concerns. After backlash, Meta removed the contentious language from English terms but retained it in German. Despite declining referral traffic, publishers admit they cannot easily leave Meta due to reliance on it for audience engagement, branded content, and subscriptions, with Meta accounting for 3.47% of global publisher traffic in July 2026. They are considering regulatory actions, such as the UK CMA's Strategic Market Status investigation, to force change. Publishers argue they lack practical opt-out without losing audience access and worry about undermining AI licensing deals. Meta clarifies that web crawling remains governed by robots.txt and that publishers can block crawlers, but publishers contend this harms distribution.
SPUR launches AI content tracking standard, invites OpenAI, Google to board
A coalition of media organizations including the Guardian, Financial Times, BBC, Sky, and the AP has released a new standard for tracking how AI tools use publishers' content. The Standards for Publisher Usage Rights (SPUR) initiative published its content telemetry standard on October 2, 2026. The standard creates a process to track and report when content is retrieved, grounded, cited, presented, and engaged with by AI tools, and report usage back to publishers. SPUR has invited OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and Microsoft to join its new AI Licensing Advisory Board to help shape implementation. The board aims to ensure tracking rules work for both publishers and AI companies. SPUR is also developing agent tooling for AI companies to adopt the standard, supporting transparent reporting and licensing. Pilot programs with tech and AI companies are planned.
