CRTC says Google to contribute C$100M annually to Canadian news organizations

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, or CRTC, announced it is issuing its first decision under the Online News Act Application and Exemption Regulations. “This decision will pave the way for Google to contribute $100 million annually to Canadian news organizations through the Canadian Journalism Collective. The Online News Act received Royal Assent on June 22, 2023, and on December 19, 2023, the Regulations came into force. The Act, formerly Bill C-18, aims to ensure that online platforms that make Canadian news content available fairly compensate Canadian news organizations,” the Commission stated.
