"We are proud champions of community media – Australia’s largest independent media sector. Our funding helps connect people living in major cities, regional towns and remote communities across the country. It ensures the millions of people who tune in to their local community-owned and operated radio stations every week are hearing local information, news, stories and voices. Our grants support a strong and thriving sector where community broadcasters are embedded in and a reflection of the diverse communities they represent and serve. This includes First Nations, ethnic and print disabled Australians, as well as those in our communities who are underrepresented in other media. This year we granted more than $20.5 million to help 278 organisations communicate, connect and share knowledge with their communities through radio, television and digital media." (Page 3)
