The Government is developing a News Media Assistance Program (News MAP) which will establish a policy framework to guide any future interventions in Australia’s news media ecosystem. This session will be an informative conversation providing LINA members an opportunity to speak directly to policymakers about opportunities in digital news publishing and challenges facing local newsrooms. Help Government understand the work you’re doing in your community and bring suggestions on what supports would be most impactful to hyperlocal and independent news publishers.
