The Impact of Link Taxes on News and Beyond: Lessons from Australia and Canada

  • This event has passed.

September 10 @ 1:00 pm 2:00 pm

Join CCIA for part two of its series on link tax policies and their consequences for newsrooms and online information sharing. The enduring effects of this movement have been seen in Canada’s Online News Act and Australia’s News Media Bargaining Code, as publications, journalists, and internet users experience these negative impacts. 

Experts will discuss the ongoing failures of these laws where they have been passed and implemented, the importance of a diverse and dynamic news ecosystem for all, and the evolving dynamics of online content distribution.
