Minderoo Foundation helps local publishers in Australia strike Google deal

·

Publications such as The Greek HeraldThe Australian Jewish News, Australian Chinese Daily and Neos Kosmos will receive funding from search giant Google after negotiating a commercial deal with Andrew Forrest’s Minderoo Foundation.

Minderoo negotiated on behalf of 24 Australian independent publishers to obtain funding for use of their news content in search.

While the amount of money has not been disclosed, a senior policy advisor at Minderoo said the deal was “a landmark agreement for independent journalism.”

The new deal brings Google’s total local commercial deals to more than 60, which it says accounts for more than 180 local media outlets.

Google’s deals were struck after the introduction of landmark news media bargaining laws in Australia.

If implemented, these laws would force Google and Facebook to pay eligible news publishers to display articles in the search engine.
