01/03/2021 08:30
LONDON, March 1 (Reuters) - News publishers need to work
towards a deal with major tech platforms such as Facebook that
will benefit both sides, the chief executive of British
newspaper group Reach RCH.L said.
"We would obviously think that the publishers need to get a
better deal and a far more transparent look at how platforms
operate," Jim Mullen said on Monday.
"But both the platforms and the news publishers are better
together with each other (...) so we are constantly working with
them. But also we will lobby and speak to government about
having at least a fair and transparent process with regards to
media and advertising."
