Facebook Agrees to Pay News Corp. for Journalism Content in Australia

Facebook has agreed to pay Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp for its journalism content in Australia, a month after the social media platform temporarily blocked news links inside the country over legislation pressing digital giants to compensate publishers. The multiyear deal includes news content from major Murdoch conservative media outlets like The Australian, a national newspaper; the news site news.com.au; and other metropolitan, regional and community publications.
