76% Informative
Almost 2.5 million Canadians live in a postal code with either one or zero local news outlets, double the proportion from 2008 .
Since 2008 , Canada has lost 11 per cent of its newspaper and online media outlets.
Last year was the worst year on record, with a net loss of 14.5 outlets driven by closures at CTV and Corus .
Google secured a five-year exemption from the Act by agreeing to pay $100 million a year to media organizations.
Meta decided to block access to Canadian news on its platforms.
The report said the measures “are too little and too late for many communities across Canada ” Other interventions include the digital news tax credit and the Local Journalism Initiative.
