Last fall, the federal governmnet announced new tax credits and incentives, worth $595 million over the next five years, to support the struggling news industry

OTTAWA — The Trudeau government is due to deliver an update to its plan to support journalism in next week’s budget but Ottawa’s recent silence on the file has stoked concerns in the media industry that a lifeline is taking too long to arrive.

But while the industry applauded the plan, the strategy was immediately met with criticism when it was sketched out in November’s fall economic statement. Moving forward with the plan, however, promises to be politically delicate with only seven months to go before the election. The scope and criteria for a tax credit on labour costs need to be defined quickly to allow outlets to make business decisions, he said. The tax credit, which Hinds hopes will cover 30 to 35 per cent of newsroom staffing costs, will be retroactive to Jan. 1.

The Public Policy Forum has published a major report with recommendations on how the government can take on the complex challenge of helping the news industry without interfering with journalism.
