News Corp Australasia executive chairman Michael Miller agrees with Nine Entertainment chairman Peter Costello that Facebook and Google must pay for news content. However, Miller says the amount they should pay is probably much higher than the $600m a year that Costello has suggested; he notes that former senator Nick Xenophon has proposed that digital platforms pay $1bn a year. Miller adds that getting the digital platforms’ mandatory revenue-sharing code of conduct right is the first thing to do.
