Australia has recently been scrutinizing Facebook and Google for not paying the news companies for providing news content on their websites. Google also threatened to remove its Search engine from the country if the News Media Bargaining Code came into effect. After having constructive discussions with the Australian Government, Google came to the conclusion of this new News Showcase app. In this move, seven Australian publishers have joined the Program, but one hasn’t. Google has mentioned that any publisher can go into arbitration if they do not like the deal that Google News Showcase is providing to them.
