Nine Entertainment, privately owned and headquartered in Australia, was founded in 2004 and operates with approximately 30 employees. Functioning as an Australian media company, its operations encompass holdings in radio and television broadcasting, newspaper publications, and digital media.
Nine Entertainment secured $16 million from the federal government's $74.6 million Journalism Assistance Fund on July 23, receiving the largest share distributed across 185 Australian publishers. This funding news followed Nine's announcement a day earlier that it would cut approximately 30 jobs across its publishing mastheads, including The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Brisbane Times, and WA Today. On July 21, Nine's managing director of publishing, Tory Maguire, informed staff that the redundancies, comprising voluntary and targeted positions, were necessitated by "extreme disruption" from artificial intelligence (AI) and formed part of a restructure towards a "digital-first future." This decision coincided with chief executives of Australia’s leading media conglomerates, including Nine, delivering a unified warning at the 2026 Andrew Olle Media Lecture on July 21, accusing generative AI developers of systematically expropriating national culture and journalistic intellectual property and demanding IP licensing frameworks.
