CRA members receive interim authorisation to bargain with Google & Facebook
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has granted members of Commercial Radio Australia (CRA) authorisation to collectively bargain for payments from Google and Facebook for news content.
The ACCC issued a draft determination this morning for the radio industry’s peak industry body, CRA, to negotiate payment for its members news content, under the News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code.
CRA represents 261 commercial radio stations Australia-wide, and the draft determination covers all member stations with the exception of those operated by Nine, which came under the media company’s own deals struck with Google and Facebook earlier this year.
