Samantha Armytage Axed from Hosting Or Attending the Australia for UNHCR Charity Event After Kristin Davis Sketch
Samantha Armytage axed from hosting or attending the Australia For UNHCR charity event after Kristin Davis sketch FEBRUARY 12, 20161:57PM Sam Armytage axed as host of UNHCR fundraiser Michael MorrowNews Corp Australia Network SAMANTHA Armytage has been uninvited from a charity event after yesterday’s Sex and the City skit on Sunrise with Kristin Davis backfired. The surprise decision was announced on the show this morning, after yesterday’s segment featuring the Sex and the City star drew widespread criticism from around the world and from the star herself. “I was asked to MC that event and conduct a Q and A with Kristin on stage and I immediately accepted,” Armytage said. “Since our interview yesterday, organisers have asked Sam not to host the event now or to attend it at all, that was unexpected,” Kochie added. “I always was, and I still am, very happy to host this fundraiser for such an important cause,” an upset Armatage concluded. The Sunrise hosts finished by saying they have the “utmost respect” for Kristen Davis and the Australia For UNHCR and wished them luck. “It was meant to be a bit of fun,” Kochie said. Kristin Davis took to Twitter to express her displeasure with the skit. Picture: TwitterSource:Twitter After an initial chat about Davis’s work with UNHCR, on yesterday’s show Kochie and Armytage proceeded to ask numerous questions about her TV series, which wrapped filming in 2004. The Hollywood star appeared clearly uncomfortable when they threw to a clip of her as Charlotte, her character on the show. -

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. -

Drawing upon Australian evidence, it identifies that the issues have emerged most sharply in the case of the newspaper industry, and that responses in this industry to the challenges of the online environment will have implications for news and information formats more generally, and hence for journalism. It considers two Australian -

Sydney Is Singularly Fortunate in That, Unlike Other Australian Cities, Its Newspaper History Has Been Well Documented
Two hundred years of Sydney newspapers: A SHORT HISTORY By Victor Isaacs and Rod Kirkpatrick 1 This booklet, Two Hundreds Years of Sydney Newspapers: A Short History, has been produced to mark the bicentenary of publication of the first Australian newspaper, the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser, on 5 March 1803 and to provide a souvenir for those attending the Australian Newspaper Press Bicentenary Symposium at the State Library of New South Wales, Sydney, on 1 March 2003. The Australian Newspaper History Group convened the symposium and records it gratitude to the following sponsors: • John Fairfax Holdings Ltd, publisher of Australia’s oldest newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald • Paper World Pty Ltd, of Melbourne, suppliers of original newspapers from the past • RMIT University’s School of Applied Communication, Melbourne • The Printing Industries Association of Australia • The Graphic Arts Merchants Association of Australia • Rural Press Ltd, the major publisher of regional newspapers throughout Australia • The State Library of New South Wales Printed in February 2003 by Rural Press Ltd, North Richmond, New South Wales, with the assistance of the Printing Industries Association of Australia. 2 Introduction Sydney is singularly fortunate in that, unlike other Australian cities, its newspaper history has been well documented. Hence, most of this short history of Sydney’s newspapers is derived from secondary sources, not from original research. Through the comprehensive listing of relevant books at the end of this booklet, grateful acknowledgement is made to the writers, and especially to Robin Walker, Gavin Souter and Bridget Griffen-Foley whose work has been used extensively. -

Cover art, layout and design by Caroline Graham. From the Editor Welcome to Australian Journalism Monographs Volume 16, 2016. In 1905 — as this year’s AJM authors Professor Peter Putnis and Dr Jee Young Lee (University of Canberra) report — international news agency the Australian Press Association (APA) telegraphed about 1000 words of cable news from London to Australia per day at a cost of one shilling per word. By 1950, AAP — the result of the 1935 merger of APA and United Services Ltd, the other early Australian international news agency of the time — was cabling around 10,000 words per day to the Australian press from London. This certainly signalled more international content arriving on Australian shores, but what was it about and from where? The multifaceted and rapid change that was characteristic of this forty-five year period of the Australian news media reporting the world is the heart of AJM 2016, The changing geography of overseas news in the Australian press, 1905-1950. -
16 Pages of Heartfelt Messages Honouring the Brave Men & Women
RECOGNISING OUR HEROES Picture: Dean Lewins/AAP 16 pages of heartfelt messages Thankhonouring the brave men &you women who came when we called 02 HONOURING OUR HEROES “I saw a young man, face blackened, and asked to shake his hand” I was in Mallacoota with my family during the peak of the fires and witnessed first-hand the mighty work of the CFA. The trucks never stopped coming to the pier to refill day and night to return and fight the huge fires blazing all around us. We were frightened and felt so helpless. We managed to talk to a few of the fireys from a distance and had Whenasimple our grandchildren wave and clap as others drove back out to continue the fight. I passed one young man walking down the street one afternoon, face and hands blackened from dirt and ash, and asked to shake his hand to say thank you. He asked if I was a local and he told me I needed to thank all the fireys who came to help from outside, because Mallacoota wouldn’t have survived without them. I saw trucks from Eltham, Kangaroo Ground, Scoresby, Lara and places I’m not even familiar with. How grateful I am thankyoudoesnot to all those men and women firefighters — they saved the township of Mallacoota and our lives. They are all heroes — dedicated, selfless, courageous heroes — and just saying ‘thank you’ doesn’t seem enough. I hold them with such high esteem and God bless them all. Anne Lehman, Healesville “Toughness and resilience of bush people is there for all to see” seemtobeenough I remember as a kid my dad, who was a long-haul truckie, spent a lot of his life driving through rural Australia and would often tell us about his time in the bush, the THEY’VE been nicknamed the Orange and Yellow Army — the thousands stunning landscape of our country and the great people of firefighters who risked everything to save lives and property in the and friends he made along the way. -
