farmnewsNOW launches free newsletter to help residents stay informed

The landscape of news delivery is changing in Canada, particularly when it comes to social media.

As you’ve likely noticed over the last several weeks, our news portal farmnewsNOW.com is no longer available on Facebook and Instagram.

It is in response to Bill C-18, or the Online News Act, that would have META (parent company of Facebook/Instagram) and other tech giants like Google pay a fee to post and share Canadian media stories on their platforms.

As a sign of opposition to the Act, META is hiding Canadian news outlets from social media feeds while Google is promising to follow suit – which could mean local news stories will not show up in your search results.
