Nearly two-thirds of the $100 million Google must give to news outlets across the country each year will be distributed to print and digital media, with the remaining third being split between CBC/Radio-Canada and private broadcasters, CBC News can confirm.
The annual compensation being given to news organizations, which is required by the Online News Act, will be distributed to outlets based on the number of full-time journalists they employ, but CBC/Radio-Canada’s share will be capped, a government source confirmed to Radio-Canada.
