Google selected a collective of small, indie, digital-first outlets to manage distribution of the $100-million annual contribution to the Canadian media industry.
The deal comes after the Online News Act , formerly known as Bill C-18 , made large tech platforms pay news publishers for the news content they host.
Google agreed to distribute $100 million annually to various news outlets, indexed to inflation.
Indiegraf, an organization that helps launch independent and local news startups, was founded with financial support from Facebook and Google .
Thousands of news organizations around the world, including major players in Canada , have received funding from the Google News Initiative .
A group of Canadian news publishers also expressed concern earlier this month and demanded the CRTC implement further regulations for the fund distribution such as tighter definition on full-time employed journalists.
