“There have been issues regarding the financial health of not just the digital news industry but the parent print news industry as well post Covid,” he said, adding, “For the growth of the news industry, it is important that the digital news platforms of all these publishers, who are the creators of original content, get a fair share of revenues from the big tech platforms which act as aggregators of content created by others.”
