The Jamaica Information Service (JIS) has been allocated $63 million in the 2008/09 Estimates of Expenditure, now before the House of Representatives, for the purchase of equipment and furniture.
This money will be used to purchase a standby generator; computers and auxiliary equipment; televisions and other multimedia equipment; photography equipment; a Xerox work centre; and an air conditioning unit for the Radio studio.

The agency is a full service public relations, news agency, and information and production media house.
Production capabilities include internet, radio, television, editorial, photographic, advertising, graphic arts, printing and public education facilities.
