Many local and independent newsrooms don’t have the luxury of having in-house staff to call on when things go wrong. LINA offers free, direct on-demand support to problem-solve IT and tech issues, help with grant applications and award nominations, and give advice on HR and pre-publication article legal reviews.

Adrian O'Hagan
Technical Manager
Think of Adrian like your own personal IT department. He’s a jack of many trades, so contact Adrian next time your website crashes, you need help interpreting Google Analytics, or you hit a roadblock implementing ads in your newsletter.
Emma Marshall
LINA Member Engagement Coordinator
Reach out to Emma with any and all questions about running a newsroom. Weird or wacky, Emma’s heard it all and if she can’t help you herself she’ll do the research to find you some resources that can.

Nurture HR Consulting
LINA offers members several services to help with managing staff. This includes free ad hoc support from our partners at Nurture HR Consulting, subsidised audits and larger projects, and various templates and guides to make processes more straightforward.
Legal support
LINA’s partners at the ABC can review your article to flag potential legal risks, such as defamation, before publication.
Award nomination and grant application service
We know that news deadlines can get in the way of applying for grant opportunities and awards. LINA will help you put your best foot forward by assisting with writing or reviewing your application.
Impact tracking
Drive donations, support grant and funding applications and help sell to advertisers. The Impact Tracker helps collect quantitative and qualitative data that often gets missed, such as positive feedback from a reader, and displays this on a personalised dashboard. Find out more about the free Impact Tracker and book in a 1:1 meeting with Rosemary to get started.
