This FOI release contains an attachment headed "Largest JAF recipients" and a summary titled "Journalism Assistance Fund (JAF) - Final Outcomes Summary", both produced under the Journalism Assistance Fund. The attachment notes a maximum funding cap of $7.5 million per applicant over three years and lists the three largest recipients: Nine Entertainment Co ($14.66 million, funding 388 journalists across two entities), Seven West ($10.30 million, funding 277 journalists across three entities) and Australian Community Media ($5.66 million, funding 149 journalists across 11 entities). Entity-level amounts are itemised, with some figures partly redacted under sections 47G(1)(a). The text is heavily garbled, with much of it repeated as scrambled, reversed fragments, so the full scope and any other final outcomes cannot be confirmed from this extract.
