News Corp strikes content deal with Facebook in Australia


SYDNEY(AFP): Rupert Murdoch's News Corp on Tuesday (March 16) announced a three-year content deal with Facebook in Australia, weeks after Canberra introduced laws forcing digital platforms to pay for news.

Facebook last month blocked all news in the country amid a heated dispute over the legislation, causing outrage Down Under as non-media Facebook pages, including for emergency services, government health departments and charities, were caught up in the ban.
