The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) has endorsed the "Big Tech and Journalism: Principles for Fair Compensation" framework, which aims to streamline payment for news content inclusion on big digital platforms like Google and Facebook. The framework was adopted at a conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, with support from journalists, media organizations, scholars, publishing groups, activists, and economists. The principles aim to be universal, serving as a framework for media sustainability through competition or regulatory approaches, while enabling adaptation to unique contexts. They also recognize freedom of expression as a fundamental human right and support public interest journalism as a public good. The conference focused on solutions to the crisis of journalism sustainability and its intersection with the role of major tech platforms. The principles emphasize the importance of public interest journalism, plurality in platform and publishing markets, diversity in the news publishing market, and sustainability in the news industry.
