upday confirms its commitment to Danish Press Publishers

Independent and reliable journalism is key – most particularly in the digital era. upday and DPCMO have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding regarding Europe’s largest news app upday. Next step will be entering into a licence agreement.

The European and the Danish ancillary right for press publishers came into force June 7, 2021 and today upday confirms its commitment to the need for a fair remuneration of content from the Danish press publishers in line with the regulation, supporting a diverse free press in the digital era.

Anders Krab-Johansen, chairman of the DPCMO: “A free and pluralistic press is vital to democracy; reliable and trustworthy information to citizens is a precondition for dialogue and social cohesion. Creating quality journalism requires investment. Therefore, I am pleased that upday acknowledges the Danish regulation and agrees to contribute to the free press in Denmark. We look forward to exploring our new partnership with upday.
