SA MEDIA CHALLENGE FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE

South African media companies have joined forces to deliver the opening gambit in challenging Google and Meta (Facebook) to be compensated for their content used on these platforms. The move was announced by the industry association, Publisher Support Services (PSS). Although the publishers’ initiative is led by the founder members of the PSS (Arena Holdings, Caxton, Independent Media, Mail & Guardian and Media24), other media organisations were also invited to participate.
