The News Innovation Fund will help Australian news producers to innovate and adapt to the evolving media landscape.
The News Innovation Fund is now open for applications.
Grants of $10,000 to $9 million are available to support news publishers with initiatives such as:
- developing new or diversified revenue streams,
- expanding reach into new or underserved communities, or
- improving news production or organisational capability.
The News Innovation Fund builds on the success of the Journalism Assistance Fund, which is supporting 185 news outlets to keep journalists employed and continue to produce news that informs and educates.
Both the News Innovation Fund and the Journalism Assistance Fund are part of the News Media Assistance Program, which supports Australian media diversity and public interest journalism.
