The Canadian publishers are Black Press Media, Glacier Media, The Globe and Mail, Metro Media, Narcity Media, SaltWire Network, Village Media and the Winnipeg Free Press. They represent more than 70 national, regional and community news organizations in French and English. The tech giant - which did not reveal the value of the eight licensing deals in Canada - said the agreements are part of a broader $1 billion global commitment to news publishers and journalism
