JAKARTA (THE JAKARTA POST/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Indonesian media groups are pushing for a draft regulation to make news aggregators pay publishers for displayed content, a regulation meant to support the domestic news industry.
Sources told The Jakarta Post that the new regulation was based on Australia's News Media Bargaining Code - the first law of its kind in the world - passed in February this year. The law requires aggregators such as Google and Facebook to negotiate fees with publishers.
