The Australian Government is delivering on its commitment to bolster public interest journalism with 30 million, or which predominantly serve First Nations and multicultural communities, with the primary purpose of publishing core news content. The NMRP forms part of the Government's broader efforts to safeguard Australia's media diversity and promote public interest journalism, through the News Media Assistance Program (News MAP).
Earlier this year, the Government completed consultation on News MAP which will provide a principles-based policy framework, informed by robust evidence, for future interventions to inform next steps on measures to ensure the news sector remains robust and strong, and continues to serve communities across Australia.
Details on the News Media Relief Program can be found at www.grants.gov.au
