NEW YORK - Rupert Murdoch signs a global deal with Google and opens what could be a new season in relations between publishers and tech giants.

Under pressure over Australia's pending law regulating payment for online news - and which is also inspiring European, Canadian and British authorities -, Mountain View reaches an agreement with News Corp under which it will pay for its news content. .

And it will do so not only in Australia: the agreement includes the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post in the United States and The Times and The Sun in Great Britain.

   The turning point comes as Australia is debating a law to force Google and Facebook to pay for news.

In view of the law, Mark Zuckerberg's social network limits the sharing of journalistic content in the country: international publishers will be able to continue publishing content on Facebook but the links and posts cannot be seen or shared by the Australian public.

News Corp's CEO, Robert Thomson, is satisfied with the three-year agreement with Google, which includes the development of a platform for subscriptions and the sharing of advertising revenues through Google's technological services.

   But many critics don't take it kindly.

In fact, some believe the deal is more positive for News Corp than for the rest of the industry, as not all publishers have Murdoch's bargaining power, especially in Australia.

In addition to News Corp, Google has also signed a letter of intent with Nine Entertainment, another important Australian media group.

Google pledged to spend $ 1 billion over three years on news media purchases last year and signed deals with publishers in a dozen countries.

But, reports the Financial Times, the figures under discussion in Australia are several times higher than the agreements signed in other parts of the world.
