Queensland government advertising policy

LINA’s response to the Queensland Government’s announcement about new policy for government advertising in news publications.

LINA’s letter to the Queensland Premier the Hon David Crisafulli and the Minister for Primary Industries the Hon Tony Perrett outlines how the policy could better support community newsrooms and align with the the guidelines of the News Media Assistance Program. This could be achieved by tweaking the policy guidelines to include digital newsrooms, not just print newspapers, within the percentage of government advertising allocated to local newsrooms.
