Senator Sarah Hanson-Young has issued amendments to the News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code that would see media businesses obliged to provide reporting on the impact of funding from digital platforms.
“For the purposes of monitoring the benefits to public interest journalism in Australia from the operation of this code, a registered news business corporation, for a registered news business must, at the end of each financial year, prepare and give to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) a report relating to the financial year that complies with the requirements in this section.”
