Google to pay for 1 million print run of Charlie Hebdo next week

January 10, 2015 15:27

Money put into a fund by Google will be used to pay for next week's edition of Charlie Hebdo. Following an attack by gunmen on the magazine's offices in Paris on Wednesday in which 12 people were killed the media world has come together to support the French satirical weekly.

The cash will come from 60m fund that supports digital publishing innovation. The fund was set up in 2013 following negotiations between Google and the French government as a remedy to demands from European publishers that Google pay for displaying news snippets in its search results.
