Tender Description
The Journalism Assistance Fund Program, running over 3 years from 2025-26, was announced as part of the News Media Assistance Program (News MAP). News MAP aims to support public interest journalism and media diversity in Australia - recognising these are critical to a healthy democracy, social cohesion and informed citizens.
Organisations producing core news content will be eligible for funding. The funding will provide a proportion of the wages for journalists producing core news content that is distributed digitally.
The program aims to:
- support the sustainability of Australian news publishers in the face of significant disruption to the media sector
- support the creation of digitally distributed news content,
- encourage continued employment of journalists who primarily produce news that is in the Australian public interest
- build and maintain social cohesion in Australia
