A national movement of newsrooms calling on their communities to support local and independent 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.
Media Scholar Victor Pickard likens journalism’s value to that of a lighthouse: it provides an essential public service but there is no effective way to make people pay for it.
Join the fight to support Australian journalismBetween 3rd and 8th May, any donations made to LINA will be distributed to publishers members partaking in Our News. Your Voice.
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.
Our News, Your Voice is a week-long, Australia-wide pledge drive for local and independent newsrooms, all members of LINA. Each publication receives donations directly from its community via its unique donation pages.
