Big changes are coming for the Canadian journalism industry 📰💡
On June 7, Google announced that the Canadian Journalism Collective has been selected to distribute its $100 million CAD annual contribution to the Canadian news ecosystem mandated under the Online News Act.

Indiegraf and our partner publishers have long advocated for the Online News Act to be transparent, fair and include news innovators since Bill C-18 was introduced in 2022.
“This is a long road, and I am grateful for our Canadian partner publishers’ resilience, creativity and determination not only to persist through this storm but contribute to a better future for the news ecosystem,” says Millar.
Meet the rest of the CJC-CCJ's founding steering committee:
