title = "Big Tech and News: A Critical Approach to Digital Platforms, Journalism, and Competition Law",
abstract = "This chapter examines whether reforms to Australia{\textquoteright}s Competition and Consumer Act 2010 can address competition between digital platforms and news media businesses. The competition posed by large digital platforms such as Google and Facebook has severely undermined the commercial viability of many Australian news companies. News media businesses not only compete with digital platforms for online advertising, but they also rely on them to reach audiences. This gives digital platforms considerable bargaining power. Australian governments have repealed industry-specific legislation and, in doing so, they have made competition law more instrumental to governing media ownership. As such, we ask whether competition law frameworks can, or should, be extended to protect the non-economic value of media pluralism.",
