“Mr. Murdoch is a champion of journalism — and a staunch advocate for the news industry. We need a digital ecosystem that provides a viable economic return to publishers, and we don’t have that today. A carriage fee would be one clear way to bring more economic balance to the system. Quality journalism is critical to our civil society, and Google and Facebook have a responsibility to make sure that their dominant platforms help to ensure that it has a future.”
David Chavern is former President & CEO of the News/Media Alliance. Chavern has 30 years of experience in executive strategic and operational roles. Prior to the Alliance, he completed a decade-long tenure at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
