Paul Deegan is the president and chief executive of News Media Canada, which represents 560 news publishers across Canada. Since starting in his role around two years ago, Deegan has been at the forefront of Canada’s battle to force Google and Facebook to pay for news.
With the nation’s Online News Act approaching passage into law, Press Gazette’s William Turvill interviewed Deegan to learn more about the story behind this legislation – and how big tech has fought back with threats and news-blocking experiments. Canada's bill seeks to build on Australia’s News Media Bargaining Code and will help inform UK legislators as similar rules are drawn up in Westminster.
