Toronto/IBNS: The Canadian government has inked a deal over the Online News Act with tech giant Google that needs the latter to pay $100 million annually to publishers, and to allow access to Canadian news content on its platform.
The future of the newspaper business doesn't look bright. According to Jordan Bitove, publisher and owner of the Toronto Star, the industry requires government help in creating an "ethical media supply chain." He outlines his plan for the newspaper, and why he won't let it fail.
