Is the courier mail government funded

The Courier-Mail is a private newspaper owned by News Corp Australia, a subsidiary of News Corp, a multinational media conglomerate. It is not government-funded.

News Corp Australia is a private company that operates a range of media outlets, including newspapers, magazines, and online platforms. The Courier-Mail is one of its flagship newspapers, and it is funded through advertising revenue, subscription sales, and other commercial activities.

While the Courier-Mail may receive some government advertising revenue, it is not a government-funded publication. The newspaper is editorially independent and operates independently of the government, making its own editorial decisions and reporting on news and issues without direct government influence.

It's worth noting that the Australian government does provide some funding to support the production of news and journalism through programs such as the Australian Government's National Library of Australia and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). However, these programs are designed to support the production of high-quality journalism and news content, rather than to fund specific newspapers or publications.
