New Zealand's poised to join Australia and Canada in introducing similar laws that reimburse publishers for the news that draws traffic to their sites.
“It’s not fair that the big digital platforms like Google and Meta get to host and share local news for free. It costs to produce the news and it’s only fair they pay,” Willie Jackson said in the statement. “New Zealand news media, particularly small regional and community newspapers, are struggling to remain financially viable as more advertising moves online. So it is critical that those benefiting from their news content actually pay for it,” he added.
its lawmakers are in the process of drafting related policy. And New Zealand noted that its new rule would be based on what’s been done elsewhere.Basically: Google and Meta would be allowed to negotiate their own deals with news publishers. However, if no deal is reached within a certain time period, the government would then step in to map out a required negotiation. Facebook and Google already have a few commercial deals in place with New Zealand news organizations, for instance with NZME Ltd.
