Attention journos! Give your input on the Online News Act

As a journalist, your perspective is critical to understanding how the Online News Act is affecting the profession and the broader news ecosystem in Canada.

By participating, you will help document the opportunities, challenges, and unintended consequences that regulatory changes may create for journalists and news organizations.

The results will inform research and policy discussions, ensuring that the experiences and concerns of working journalists are part of conversations about the future of Canadian journalism.

This survey is a part of a research project comparing emerging regulations, such as the Australian News Media Bargaining Code (2021) and Canadian Online News Act (2023), that aim to address the imbalances between digital platforms and news publishers, and their consequences for journalism.

The survey takes approximately 15- 20 minutes to complete and is available in English & French. The results of the survey will be used exclusively for scholarly purposes, including policy reports, academic articles and book chapters, and not sold or passed onto third parties. An executive summary of the key findings from this survey will be shared with respondents if they share their contact information at the end of the survey.

Participation is voluntary, and responses will remain confidential.
