After months of pressure, the U.S. Treasury Department finally caved and published the names of more than 650,000 companies across the U.S. that received federal loans greater than $150,000 through the Paycheck Protection Program, aimed as an incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll amid the pandemic. The names of the businesses released Monday made up just 15 percent of the five million that received loans as the majority were under $150,000, with the average about $100,000.

The PPP, run by the Small Business Administration, offers struggling businesses with less than 500 employees up to $10 million based on size and under the PPP guidelines will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest or utilities. Applicants can base the size of a company on the number of employees it averaged last year.

But in has proven controversial in some instances as some larger or venture-backed companies received loans when other struggling small businesses did not. In response to widespread criticism, companies including Ruth’s Hospitality Group Inc., Shake Shack Inc. and Axios returned theirs. The Treasury also urged public companies that have access to other capital to return the money, but some kept the loans, insisting that they are eligible.

Here are some of the media companies that are listed as having received loans. The Treasury only provided price ranges so the exact amount of the loans is only known if the recipient disclosed it.
