  • The Vision Unsplendid for Australian Newspapers
    Hold the Presses: The vision unsplendid for _. Australian newspapers Bruce Montgomery Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Tasmania January 2009 Declaration of originality This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution except by way of background information and is duly acknowledged in the thesis, and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. Bruce Montgomery - ii - Statement of authority of access This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance - iii - Abstract The destiny of Australian newspapers and the journalists who work for them came into sharp focus in August 2008 when Fairfax Media announced it was cutting five per cent of its Australian and New Zealand workforce. At the same time it flagged it would be outsourcing some editorial production, notably the sub-editing of non-news pages, to private contractors. Fairfax's cost-cutting measures illustrate the extent to which the survival of some of our biggest newspapers is threatened by the modem medium of the Internet. This thesis synthesises and assesses the views of notable players in the news industry on the future of Australian newspapers. Its concern is the future of the print platform per se, not the likely structure and future output of today's newspaper companies.

The Flint water crisis is a textbook case in which these two institutions failed to live up to their responsibilities of accountability and transparency. The authors examine the major events during the water crisis, looking at it through the lens of government ac- tions and how the press covered them, conducting qualitative context analysis during the first five months of the crisis.
