The BBC has lodged a complaint with the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority, arguing that news aggregators like Apple News and Google News fail to give adequate credit to original news sources. This lack of visibility undermines the perceived value of the BBC, which relies on licence fees from UK households. The BBC emphasizes the importance of being recognized for its contributions, especially as it navigates funding challenges. Changes prompted by the CMA, while focused on UK publications, could have broader implications for the industry at large.
If audiences derive value from our content and services but attribute that value to gatekeepers instead of the BBC, then that undermines the perceived value of the BBC.
The BBC is asking the UK's Competition and Markets Authority to require Apple and Google to more prominently credit news sources.
