This chapter compares and contrasts the Australian and EU policy responses to the problem of supporting sustainable news content in an algorithm-driven platform economy. I begin by analysing the problem of the under-production of news content and argue that this issue is best understood as arising from the market power of platforms in advertising markets. I then outline the development and structure of the Australian News Media Bargaining Code and the EU law. I go on to argue that the Australian Code is a better model as it directly addresses the under-production of news can and form part of a broader project of adjusting the principles and tools of competition policy to satisfactorily address platform business models.
