A national movement of newsrooms calling on their communities to support local and independent news.
Our News. Your Voice is an annual week-long, Australia-wide pledge drive by local and independent newsrooms, all members of LINA.

Why support local news
Mass content syndication, prolific AI-fuelled misinformation and disinformation, and rushed reporting lacking nuance and diverse representation… These are some of the challenges all of us in the Australian public must contend with when it comes to accessing important news.
But in the midst of this media crisis, local and independent media organisations are rising tall to provide quality, accessible, verified and locally relevant news.
The green shoots of an industry in transition, many of these publications emerged from news deserts to deliver critical information to their communities during the global pandemic, in times of environmental disaster, important elections, or in the context of rising cost-of-living, when accountability from leaders and big economic players is more important than ever.
The newsrooms
The LINA members participating in the collective fundraising campaign are local and independent newsrooms that are producing digital public interest journalism. This content must be meeting the Australian Press Council and LINA Editorial Standards.
