Will indigenous voices be lost in battle with big tech?

An interesting read from an important perspective.

We can’t make news for free. Someone has to pay for it.

But who? Passive consumers of news don’t want to pay for it. It’s a scary time for the industry and for IndigiNews. I don’t know what happens next. If IndigiNews loses Facebook, do we lose almost half of the audience we've grown?

If so, it seems that, as usual, when times get tough, the people on the bottom are kicked the hardest.

What is Meta and Google’s obligation to Indigenous Peoples in so-called Canada? Do they have one? What is a fair price to pay for quality journalism and who should pay it?
