Michael Boggs: NZME CEO on the need for a backstop from the Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB
A media company chief executive says agreements to make tech companies pay for news have been successful in other countries. A Select Committee's recommended the Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill not be passed in its current form. Media and Communications Minister Paul Goldsmith says they've not made a decision. Michael Boggs, the CEO of NZME which owns Newstalk ZB, told Mike Hosking that the current Minister and Prime Minister know there are issues. He says they're not looking for a handout, just legislation that gives them a backstop in dealing with global social media and tech platforms.
