Australien: Kritik an staatlichen Geldern für heimische Medien
Summary

Critics, including journalist Sam Bamford, warn that this state funding threatens press independence, especially since the program ends just before the next election. The report highlights concerns that the government may be buying loyalty rather than supporting unbiased reporting, sparking debate over the role of public money in sustaining private media.
