We received over 400 entries across the Advertising, Photography, Journalism and Newspaper categories. The judges were united in compliments about the professionalism and vital contribution our publications are making to our regional communities. It was unfortunate we were unable to fully celebrate our achievements with our highlight presentation night dinner this year, but we have been able to at least recognise the success of our teams and individual winners from the Southern Regions on Queensland, with a presentation luncheon at Toowoomba on Friday, November 6. Congratulations to all who entered, and deserving acknowledgment for the winners, place-getters and highly commended recipients. Maybe we can have an extra celebration at next year’s Awards dinner scheduled to be held at Mercure Brisbane Hotel on May 28. And these Awards herald in a new era for QCPA – with almost 20 new print publications launched recently, and our Association expanding its Online Publisher Membership, providing us over 60 members covering the State.

    Question on Notice No 923 Asked on 26 May 2006 MR QUINN asked the Minister for Transport and Main Roads (MR LUCAS) – QUESTION: For 2001-02, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06 (year to date) will he detail all Department of Transport and Main Roads advertising campaigns and promotional material broken down by (a) the name of the advertising campaign/promotional material, (b) media publications in which is appears, (c) the dates that the advertising campaign/promotional material appeared in the media and (d) total cost of the advertising campaign/promotional material? ANSWER: I thank the Honourable Member for his question. The portfolio undertakes advertising and promotional activity to provide key information to the community, such as information on its products and services including marine and road safety, public transport initiatives to name a few. The departments advise that when planning an advertising campaign, robust research findings are used to determine the audiences being targeted for the specific message (product/service), and liaison is undertaken with the media agency to provide a media strategy to best deliver this message to key audiences. The publications selected for any advertising campaigns are to inform or educate the public or generate positive attitudinal or behavioural changes in the public, in relation to the services, activities, projects, laws or policies of the department. For those messages requiring exposure to a larger audience a wider range of regional papers and city dailies are selected in addition to targeted publications. Campaign advertising does not include public notices, tender advertisements, road closure advice, or other one-off operational advertisements.

He launched the Koori Mail on 23 May 1991 and ceased to be its owner in early 1992 (Kirkpatrick, Country Conscience, p.401). On 27 February 2002 he launched the National Indigenous Times, a fortnightly, as a direct competitor to the Koori Mail. Carriage says many indigenous readers now feel the Koori Mail and some other indigenous media “haven‟t done their homework” or “properly investigated” issues ranging from unaccountable governments to high indigenous school dropout rates and the indigenous child abuse inquiry recently set up by the West Australian Government. Todd Condie, editor of the Koori Mail, disagrees strongly with Carriage‟s criticisms (Australian, Media liftout, 7 March 2002, p.10; see 17.63.5). 17.3 POSSIBILITY OF FAIRFAX NEWSPAPER BUREAUX MERGER The editor of The Age is refusing to rule out a possible merger of various sections run by the two major Fairfax newspapers The Age and Sydney Morning Herald.

Suddenly the future was tremendously uncertain for 3000 or more employees of the two major Australian newspaper companies and hundreds of thousands of readers. Probably one-quarter of the uncertain jobs belonged to journalists and editors. Fairfax was specific: 1900 jobs would be lost. News did not set a figure, but the estimates by observers put the losses at between 1000 and 1500 jobs. Let’s look at recent developments in chronological order, starting with the regional scene: 3 December 2011: APN News & Media closed its dailies at Tweed Heads and Coffs Harbour.
