Increased Transparency for Foreign-Sponsored Media Content
New rules aim to increase transparency for informational materials paid for by foreign governments. This will help citizens more easily identify when they are reading content sponsored by foreign entities, allowing for a better understanding of information sources and their potential influence.
Key points
Requirement for a clear and prominent disclosure that informational material is paid for by a foreign entity, placed at the top of the first page.
Introduction of definitions for 'paid publication supplement' and 'covered publication' (including blogs and social media), expanding the scope of the regulations.
Mandate to disclose whether a publication (e.g., newspaper) was involved in creating a paid supplement, increasing accountability and transparency.
