LINA’s response to the Joint Select Committee on Social Media and Australian Society’s 2024 social media inquiry.

At the invitation of the Joint Select Committee on Social Media and Australian Society, LINA has contributed contextual information on the relationship between social media and news publishing, with a focus on the News Media Bargaining Code and the role of journalism in addressing mis and disinformation. LINA’s submission outlines actions the government could take to mitigate the negative impacts social media platforms can have on individuals and society and enable local and independent news publishers to contribute to growing media literacy, strengthening democracy and providing essential trusted and relevant information services to communities.
