好色tv Press executive editor Gerry Arnold said that in its letter informing the media company of its decision, Meta clearly linked its termination of the program to Canada's Online News Act, which became law last week.

"We were told the Act has an adverse impact on Meta鈥檚 position in Canada to operate some products," Arnold said.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a business decision by Meta, in light of the changing regulatory environment."

Meta declined to comment Wednesday, but the tech giant has been outspoken about its opposition to the new federal law, formerly known as Bill C-18.

The law requires tech companies such as Meta and Google to negotiate deals compensating media outlets for news content they share or otherwise repurpose on their platforms.

While the intent of the law is to help preserve 好色tv journalism at a time when newsrooms are struggling to compete for online advertising dollars, the fallout has been swift.

On Thursday, Google said it would remove links to 好色tv news stories from its platforms in retaliation, and Meta has threatened to do the same.

But Janice Neil, associate professor of journalism at Toronto Metropolitan University, said she was surprised by the Facebook parent's ending of its partnership with The 好色tv Press.

Neil said the fellowship program was important because it provided an on-ramp into the industry for young journalists at a time when reporting jobs are hard to come by.

CP also used the program to hire more BIPOC journalists and others from diverse backgrounds, a move designed to help ensure 好色tv newsrooms better reflect the makeup of the society they serve, she added.

"So this (termination of the program) really hurts, in way that's not going to be as visible to the public as removing online links to news stories," Neil said.

"But I think it's a real sucker-punch for the industry."

CP's existing contracts with Meta fellows will be honoured, Arnold said, adding the newswire agency will continue to pursue a variety of revenue sources to support its journalism work.

"We would have preferred to see the program continue, but I don't regard this as a fatal blow," he said.

"At the same time, I want to acknowledge what an amazing contribution the young people we were able to recruit to this program made to 好色tvnews service. They changed the face of our newsroom."
