Associated Press CEO Tom Curley spoke with Dorian Benkoil of Teeming Media at the We Media conference in Miami on March 10, 2010 about the company’s strategy, plans and use of technology, as well as recent moves. Among other things, he said the company is still in talks with Google about use of AP content, that AP will build or buy whatever technology it needs, that the not-for-profit cooperative’s revenues are trending toward a higher proportion from the commercial than membership side, and that AP is doing more to sell advertising — something that’s relatively new for the vaunted wire service.
