How you can help

For every Australian

For business owners

Consider advertising with your local digital newsroom. They will be able to provide you with stats about the reach of their stories. Generally, audiences of local news publications are highly engaged and highly targeted, so advertising is extremely effective. LINA newsrooms must uphold strong editorial standards, so you can rest easy knowing your business is advertising with a reputable organisation.

For policy makers

LINA is seeking policy amendments to support newsroom sustainability:

Government advertising commitments for locally produced media, legislated for continuity.
Local Government Acts updated to include digital public interest news publishers.
Access to DGR status for public interest journalism.
Eligibility for all support programs relevant to news media.
Support for the industry-led activities outlines in LINA’s Pre-Budget Submission 2025-2026.
