Australia to make tech companies pay more outlets for content under reworked media law
Australia will require large tech companies to negotiate more deals with local news outlets under a revised media law, increasing the number of required agreements from six to eight. The government will allocate 5% of funds raised under the scheme to the Australian Associated Press, supporting public-interest journalism. This legislation aims to ensure that advertising revenue is more equitably distributed among domestic media organizations, enhancing support for smaller outlets.
