Print and digital media will share the remaining 63 per cent of the fund. To be successful, media outlets must convince the regulator their negotiations are fair and also benefit other companies that qualify for funding. Media outlets receiving funding must also attest that they will not undermine freedom of expression or journalistic independence by interfering in an outlet's editorial process. News Media Canada, a group representing print and digital media in Canada, issued a statement welcoming the regulations.
