News Corp and Facebook have announced new pay deals for news in Australia three weeks after the government passed laws that would make digital giants help cover the costs of journalism.
The New York-based news business that operates mainly in the US, the UK and Australia said it had reached a multi-year agreement with Facebook that covers its major Australian mastheads as well as regional publications.
The pay deal follows a similar agreement struck with Google last month.
Sky News Australia, a subsidiary of News Corp Australia, had also reached a new agreement that extends and builds on an existing Facebook agreement, a News Corp statement said.
