The deal reflects a growing trend of legacy media aligning with emerging tech firms to adapt to changing information consumption habits, according to<a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/frances-le-monde-enters-into-content-partnership-with-ai-startup-perplexity-2025-05-14/"> Reuters</a>.
Perplexity, known for its real-time search engine that combines generative AI with citation-based results, will gain access to Le Monde's content. In return, the French publisher will leverage Perplexity's AI infrastructure to build new tools and explore fresh distribution channels, Reuters says.

</ul>
This agreement comes as AI companies face mounting scrutiny over how they train their models, and as publishers push for compensation and transparency,<a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/tech-companies-face-tough-ai-copyright-questions-2025-2024-12-27/"> Reuters</a> reports.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia-Backed Perplexity Expands Media Footprint With Le Monde, L.A. Times, And The Independent</h2>
The partnership is part of Perplexity's broader effort to integrate reliable journalism into its search platform. The startup has already signed deals with over a dozen publishers, including the Los Angeles Times and the U.K.'s Independent, Reuters says. These collaborations aim to ensure that the AI-generated answers on Perplexity's platform are rooted in high-quality, verifiable content.
According to Reuters, these partnerships also include an ad revenue-sharing model designed to benefit the content providers whose work powers Perplexity's responses. The AI search engine&#8217;s new Publishers' Program is setting a precedent for how AI companies can support quality journalism while scaling innovation, a Perplexity<a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-the-perplexity-publishers-program"> blog post</a> says.

Announced with a slate of high-profile media partners including Time, Der Spiegel, Fortune and Entrepreneur, the initiative offers revenue sharing for publishers whose content is cited in Perplexity's AI-generated answers. The model includes advertising through a "related questions" feature, giving brands the ability to insert follow-up queries and creating new monetization streams for participating outlets, the company said.
According to Perplexity, the program also provides partners with free access to its online large language model application programming interfaces, allowing them to build custom answer engines using only their own content. Publisher staff will receive complimentary access to Enterprise Pro, Perplexity's privacy-enhanced research tool, for one year. The broader goal is to equip media companies with tools to expand reach, drive engagement, and retain control over how their work is surfaced in the AI ecosystem.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI-Powered Journalism Or Legal Minefield? Publishers Navigate A Delicate Dance</h2>
While partnerships like the one with Le Monde represent a collaborative path forward, not all media organizations are on board. Several AI companies are currently facing legal action from news outlets who accuse them of using copyrighted content without permission during model training, Reuters reports. The lawsuits reflect the growing tension between innovation and ownership, especially as generative AI tools continue to blur the lines between original content and synthesized responses.
According to Reuters, Le Monde CEO Louis Dreyfus emphasized that the agreement with Perplexity was not just about content licensing. &#8220;At Le Monde, we have continued to explore new partnerships with leading AI players to enlarge our audience, expand our development capacities, and to build new sources of revenues,&#8221; he said.
As AI reshapes how information is discovered and consumed, deals like this one between Le Monde and Perplexity may set the tone for the future. With strong backing, rising adoption, and a growing list of media collaborators, Perplexity aims to build the future of how the world reads, learns, and connects with verified truth.

Legendary value investor Jeremy Grantham is sounding the alarm on the current state of U.S. financial markets and says a 50% drop in the stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45508514/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-warns-huge-deficits-complacent-central-banks-could-lead-to-stagflation">market is possible.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NggoHOE8uQM">interview </a>with Wealthtrack, Grantham pointed to three factors that are creating distortion in the stock market: the lingering effects of the massive COVID-19 stimulus, the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and ongoing tariff wars.&nbsp;
Read Next: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/05/45524565/nvidias-1-trillion-comeback-shows-deepseek-no-longer-spooks-wall-street?utm_source=articleShare">Nvidia&#8217;s $1 Trillion Comeback Shows DeepSeek No Longer Spooks Wall Street&nbsp;</a>
Grantham said the COVID-19 response injected trillions into the economy and fuelled speculative excesses among retail investors.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the AI boom has propelled a handful of giant tech companies — the so-called Magnificent Seven —  to outsized gains and skewed market dynamics. 
The trade war adds another layer of unpredictability, leaving economists and investors alike struggling to forecast economic outcomes.&nbsp;
Grantham said traditional metrics used to measure the market, like total market capitalization versus the GDP, are pointing to a significantly overvalued market that could be vulnerable to a major decline. 
"The market could easily go down by 50% and be well within its historical boundary. That would not be a colossal low," Grantham said.&nbsp;
Expert Ideas: Given the risks of a correction, Grantham advised investors to shift focus toward value stocks and non-U.S. equities. He also suggested prioritizing high-quality companies with low debt and strong profit margin and highlighted climate and resource-related sectors as undervalued.&nbsp;
Grantham's bottom line: investors should prepare for volatility in the currently overvalued market and the exact timing of a market correction remains impossible to predict.&nbsp;

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Quanta Services Stock In The Last 10 Years

Social media network Bluesky<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/04/44598279/hillary-clinton-barack-obama-join-bluesky-posts-take-aim-at-elon-musks-efforts-in-wisconsin-here-are-the-top-10-most-followed-accounts"> is much smaller </a>than the likes of X and Facebook, but could have another ace up its sleeve in relying on the love of sports and ability to let people leave the platform to check out live content.
What Happened: Two of entrepreneur Mark Cuban's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42566461/mark-cuban-says-this-is-the-holy-grail-that-makes-bluesky-better-than-musks-x-platform">favorite items</a> are crossing paths with Bluesky working on highlighting the National Basketball Association's postseason games.
While Cuban's Dallas Mavericks, of which he is a part owner, aren't in the NBA Playoffs, the push by Bluesky could be one of many to help push sports fans to the platform.
According to a report from <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/19/bluesky-takes-on-sports-twitter-with-nba-playoff-feature/">TechCrunch</a>, Bluesky is testing new features during the NBA Playoffs that include placing a red border with a "live" callout on posts from the NBA's Bluesky account when there are games in progress.
Bluesky users who click on the NBA's profile picture will be redirected to the live content.
"We aren't trapping you in Bluesky," Bluesky COO Rose Wang said. "We want you to use Bluesky to discover what's happening."
Wang said Bluesky will also test this feature during WNBA games.
You may not be a billionaire like Mark Cuban, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/05/45482435/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-65">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: The decision to redirect users to content outside of Bluesky differs from the current strategy of Elon Musk-owned social media platform X.
X, formerly known as Twitter, previously had live streaming partnerships with sports leagues where it would show contests live on the platform.
Nowadays, X highlights the scores and posts about games and hopes to keep fans on X rather than having them leave to watch the actual sports matchup.
As highlighted by TechCrunch, Bluesky doesn't rely on advertising to make money, meaning it doesn't care how much time people spend on the platform. The goal is of course to get people to continue using Bluesky and coming back.
The ability for users to quickly leave and watch sports contests and come back to talk about them with other users on Bluesky is an interesting bet to see play out and could be one of the items that could drive users from X to Bluesky.

Fox News co-host Jessica Tarlov was openly critical last week when reacting to news that Walmart will raise prices because of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Retail Giants Warn of Price Hikes, Supply Problems</h2>
Top executives from Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Target (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) and Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) met with Trump in April and issued a direct warning: his tariffs could result in higher prices and even empty shelves. "Shelves will be empty," one <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45404626/walmart-target-home-depot-ceos-tell-trump-prices-will-rise-shelves-will-be-empty-if-tariffs-persist">executive reportedly told him</a>.

After facing growing pressure, the U.S. and China struck a temporary deal to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45367206/sp-500-rallies-over-3-on-us-china-90-day-tariff-truce-but-experts-warn-it-doesnt-guarantee-a-complete-resolution-of-the-trade-war">ease tariffs for 90 days starting on May 12</a>. Still, the damage was already being felt. "We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible. But given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren't able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margin," Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said during an <a href="https://corporate.walmart.com/content/dam/corporate/documents/newsroom/2025/05/15/walmart-releases-q1-fy26-earnings/q1-fy26-earnings-call-transcript.pdf">earnings call</a> on May 15.
He added that the increases will hit imported goods hardest—items like electronics, toys and seasonal back-to-school supplies. Some food products like bananas, avocados and coffee may also get more expensive.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Retailers Brace For Impact</h2>
Walmart declined to provide profit guidance for the next quarter, citing uncertainty around the tariffs. However, it kept its full-year forecast intact, expecting <a href="https://corporate.walmart.com/content/dam/corporate/documents/newsroom/2025/05/15/walmart-releases-q1-fy26-earnings/q1-fy26-earnings-call-transcript.pdf">3.5% to 4.5%</a> annual sales growth.

Walmart&#8217;s warnings have ripple effects across the retail sector. The company is often seen as a bellwether, and its decision to raise prices suggests that competitors may soon follow. "If Walmart is raising prices, it certainly means that other retailers are going to be raising prices as well," Justin McAuliffe, a research analyst at Gabelli Funds, told <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/15/walmart-store-prices-trump-tariffs">Axios</a>.
Economists warn that the tariffs&#8217; full impact hasn&#8217;t been felt yet. April inflation remained steady, but U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45098824/tariffs-hit-hard-as-us-economy-shrinks-for-first-time-since-2022">GDP shrank by 0.3% in the first quarter</a>—the first decline in three years.

For now, Walmart says it will try to shield food prices from further hikes. "Food prices in the US have gone up in recent years and our customers have been feeling that all along," McMillon said during the earnings call. "We won&#8217;t let tariff-related cost pressure on some general merchandise items put pressure on food prices."

As the investing universe is hot on the trail of AI unicorns and meme-driven moonshots, there&#8217;s a more subtle approach quietly making investors millionaires — one dividend check at a time. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">Dividend growth investing</a> isn&#8217;t glamorous. It won&#8217;t illuminate Reddit forums or fuel CNBC arguments. But for investors intent on creating lasting, long-term wealth, especially for retirement, it could be the wisest thing you can do.
Individual dividend stocks may be temperamental. Earnings misses, company-specific risk or dividend reductions can upset your income stream. ETFs, however, package up several dividend-growing companies, spreading out risk and leveling out returns. And when it comes to getting dividend growth done correctly, the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) is at the front of the line.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Case For Dividend Growth</h1>
Dividend growth investing targets those companies that steadily grow their payments year in and year out. It&#8217;s not merely about receiving yield, it&#8217;s about seeing that yield build as your investment quietly grows in the background.
In the long term, this strategy provides a unique trifecta: increasing income, appreciation in capital and reduced volatility versus non-dividend stocks. Even better, it provides protection against inflation, which makes it perfect for long-term financial objectives such as retirement.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">SCHD: The MVP Of Dividend Growth ETFs</h1>
Among the expanding world of dividend-oriented ETFs, SCHD is a standout with its steadiness and resilience in the face of a burst of newer arrivals and market phenomena like stock splits.
Dividend Yield: 3.9%
Expense Ratio: A mere 0.06%
Top Holdings: Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), and Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>).
SCHD follows the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, choosing only those companies with no less than 10 years of dividend increases, solid financials, and compelling yields.
Its quality-control focus, such as return on equity (average 29%) provides an extra layer of protection during downturns. And with a sector breakdown divided among energy (21%), consumer staples (19%), and healthcare (16%), SCHD balances growth with resilience.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Is There A Catch?</h1>
Naturally, even SCHD isn&#8217;t bulletproof.
Its concentration risk is something to consider. Its top 10 holdings <a href="https://www.schwabassetmanagement.com/products/schd">constitute </a>4% of the fund on an average. While not a cause for concern, it may make risk-averse investors consider more diversified ETFs like the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIG#NYSE">VIG</a>), though it provides slightly less yield at 1.8%.
And then there&#8217;s the macro risk: economic slowdowns might pinch earnings and, by proxy, dividend increases. But SCHD&#8217;s concentration in solidly financed firms puts it in a better position to weather any softening than the typical fund.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts: Boring Is Beautiful</h1>
SCHD isn&#8217;t a roller coaster, but it&#8217;s not meant to be. It&#8217;s the workhorse of your financial stable.
For investors who want long-term compounding, increasing income, and an element of protection from chaos, SCHD is as close as the market comes to a &#8220;set it and semi-forget it&#8221; strategy.
