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