US Congress Advances Bill to Support Collective Bargaining for Google-News Media Usage Fees
[Asia Economy New York=Special Correspondent Joselgina] On the 23rd (local time), major foreign media reported that a bill is being promoted in the United States to allow media companies to easily conduct collective negotiations over content usage fees with major platforms such as Google and Facebook.
According to reports, some bipartisan members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives have announced an amendment to the "Journalism Competition and Protection Act" based on this content. The main point is to support news organizations in collectively negotiating with news content platforms and receiving fair compensation. Senators Amy Klobuchar (Democrat) and John Kennedy (Republican), members of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, along with Representatives David Cicilline (Democrat) and Ken Buck (Republican) from the House, participated as co-sponsors.
