Time for a new approach: A new policy brief calls for digital taxes to fund journalism
Library
Policy report / Briefing
The document discusses the need for digital service taxes (DSTs) to sustain quality journalism in the face of declining financial support for media outlets. The brief highlights how traditional revenue models for journalism have collapsed due to competition from tech giants, whose dominance in the digital advertising space undermines the financial viability of independent media. It argues that DSTs could be a solution to fund public interest media and ensure that the media ecosystem remains diverse and independent, thereby contributing to the stability and well-being of democratic societies.
