Google has sent the $100 million it agreed to pay Canadian news outlets in exchange for an exemption from the Online News Act to a journalism organization designed to disperse the funds. Google confirmed it has transferred the money to the Canadian Journalism Collective, a federally incorporated non-profit organization run by independent publishers and broadcasters. The collective said in mid-December that it was working to distribute the first portion of funds by the end of January to media businesses whose work was shared or repurposed by Google.The collective is a federally incorporated non-profit organization that was created for this purpose. It was founded in May by a group of independent publishers and broadcasters.The steering committee is made up of 12 independent media outlets that represent French language outlets, community and Indigenous news and publications that specifically represent Black and minority Canadians.
