Promising news for the French press. Facebook has reached an agreement with part of the French daily press to pay it for “neighboring rights”, the American social network announced on Thursday, October 21, a few weeks after signing similar agreements with The world and Le Figaro.
This “license agreement” signed with the Alliance for the General Information Press (Apig), which notably represents national and regional dailies, “provides for Facebook to obtain and remunerate licenses for neighboring rights”, according to the press release. For now, neither the amount of compensation nor the method of calculation has been disclosed.
Neighboring rights are explicitly provided for by new European legislation adopted in 2019, immediately transposed in France. They pave the way for remuneration for the authors of press content – extracts from articles, photos, videos, infographics, etc. – presented on the results pages of major internet platforms.
