The Canadian Journalism Collective will be responsible for ensuring eligible news organizations get their share of the money. The collective is committed to distributing the funding in a "fair, transparent, and inclusive manner."
"We look forward to working with the full diversity of the Canadian news ecosystem, including traditional print and broadcast organizations, and independent local news publishers, including those who serve Indigenous, Black and racialized communities and francophone communities."
The committee plans to establish its governance structure in the coming weeks. The payment is contingent on Google formally receiving an exemption from the federal broadcast regulator.
"We hope these next steps will be completed as quickly as possible, so Canadian publishers and journalists can soon begin to receive the proceeds of this new contribution model," Google said in a blog entry posted on their website Friday.
