Google sends funds to journalism collective in exchange for Online News Act exemption

Google is paying $100 million Canadian to news outlets to support journalism, which is considered essential, and help keep Canadians informed.
The funding, about $20,000 per journalist at local outlets, will continue for at least five years and rise with inflation.
The Online News Act, which became law in 2023, requires tech companies to compensate news publishers for their content.
Canada's deal with Google aims to preserve journalism and support local news, particularly benefiting smaller publishers.
