VTV.vn - Leading journalists from more than 20 countries joined a call Tuesday for European Parliament to approve a controversial media reform aimed at forcing internet giants to pay for news content.

European Parliament lawmakers return in September to discuss the proposal, a first draft of which was rejected last month after a fierce debate. The so-called copyright and neighbouring rights law aims to ensure that producers of creative content whether news, music or movies are paid fairly in a digital world. But the plans have been firmly opposed by big US tech firms such as Google and Facebook, as well as advocates of internet freedom.
