Dow Jones chief’s tech warning on news undermined by ‘cats on skateboards’

Will Lewis says sharing deals with companies such as Facebook, Apple and Google pose threat to newspapers over control of content

Will Lewis, the chief executive of Wall Street Journal owner Dow Jones, has warned rival newspapers not to "run like headless chickens" to strike content deals with tech firms such as Facebook and Google.

Lewis, a former editor-in-chief of the Daily Telegraph, warned that deals such as Facebook's Instant Articles partnerships pose a threat to loss of control of content.
