Under the Journalism Assistance Fund, the area of Anika Wells, Communications Minister, the Albanese government is helping out journalists and private media companies to the tune of $67.6 million.

The money part-pays for 2,000 journalists at about $39k per year, and a lot of news rooms are in on it. Ch.7 and Ch.9 get $27K, for instance, and lots of other smaller organisations, including SkyNews benefit. No foreigners are included, so The Guardian misses out. 184 newsrooms get help, with our money.

The organisations are not obliged to reveal the handouts.
