OTTAWA : A Canadian news industry body on Thursday lent support to some of Google's concerns about a new law that aims to make large internet companies share advertising revenue with news publishers in the country.

Alphabet's Google has made a"good faith articulation of legitimate concerns" that the Canadian government should address while finalizing rules to implement the law, said News Media Canada , which represents Canada's top newspapers, including the Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star.

Canada tried addressing tech companies' concerns about the law in draft rules released in September, but Google and Meta Platforms were not convinced. NMC also agrees with Google that eligible news publishers must have an online presence and that non-monetary measures such as training and product can be part of the remuneration, Deegan said.
