It reflects one week of regular programming for each network. It does not include the 24-hour digital music services dig, digJAZZ and digCOUNTRY, the content of which is 100% music. In 2004–05, ABC Radio changed the genres against which its output is reported. As the new genre categories do not map cleanly onto the previous set, it is not possible to provide a meaningful comparison with 2003–04 output levels. The analysis of Local Radio is generic only (this analysis is based on Sydney (metro) and a regional Queensland station). It does not take into account station-to-station or seasonal program variations.

  • Media Ownership Chart

    Media Ownership Chart

    In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly . In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media" -- controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies. He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies. This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six. Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4 Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation. In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly , shows that only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth.

    A Former Townsville Bulletin Sports Editor Who Played a Key Role in The

    A former Townsville Bulletin sports editor who played a key role in the establishment of the North Queensland Cowboys has called for major changes at board level to get the struggling club back on track. Doug Kingston, who floated the idea that North Queensland should have a Winfield Cup (now NRL) team in a story in the Townsville Bulletin back in 1989, called and chaired the first meeting, and worked on a voluntary basis to help get the team into the national competition, believes the current Cowboys board appears to have lost sight of the core reason the club was established. "Unless major changes are made in the composition of the Cowboys board the club faces a bleak future," Kingston said. "The secrecy surrounding the board of directors gives rise to suspicion that it is a closed shop, which has lost sight of the core reason the club was established. "During the past few weeks I have tried, unsuccessfully, to find out just who is on the NQ Cowboys board. My quest to identify the current board members included numerous Google searches and an email to NQ Cowboys chairman, Lewis Ramsay, requesting details of board members and the procedure for appointment of board members. I also asked Mr Ramsay if any of the current board members were elected by a vote of club members. "Mr Ramsay replied that these matters were ‘confidential’. Kingston then wrote back to Mr Ramsay saying: "In the absence of your advice to the contrary, I will assume that the Cowboys Leagues Club currently owns the North Queensland Cowboys football club/team, having acquired it in 2015 from News Limited.

The Greens Bill is premised on an ignorance of the currently legal status of medical cannabis ‘Medical Marijuana’, (which is a misnomer) has been legally used in Australia since the mid-1990s, when the THC capsule developed in the US called Marinol was imported into Australia under TGA Special Access for 100 patients. Marinol can be imported today under the same arrangement. Alternatively, the whole-leaf extract of cannabis, called Sativex, was approved by the Australian TGA in 2012 for MS spasticity. Both medications are pharmaceutically standardised in terms of dosage, strength and purity, which crude cannabis products are not. Both medications can be used for maladies where clinical trials have previously shown promise – nausea, AIDS wasting, chronic pain and MS spasticity. A third pharmaceutical medicine which is high in CBD, Epidiolex, is currently being tested in the US and could be tested here under similar arrangements – CBD is the element within cannabis believed to be responsible for the relief of severe seizures in epilepsy-like syndromes for some sufferers, including children.
  • How to Write a Good Letter to the Editor: QLD a Guide to Writing Awesome, Powerful Letters

    How to Write a Good Letter to the Editor: QLD a Guide to Writing Awesome, Powerful Letters

    How to write a good letter to the editor: QLD A Guide to writing awesome, powerful letters Letters to the editor of local papers are an excellent way for politicians to gauge what the public is thinking. This is a how-to guide for writing powerful and useful letters that can inform the public debate around Adani’s coal project. What makes a good letter? Some tips: ● The best letters are short, snappy and succinct - never longer than 200 ​ ​ words. ● Try to limit your letter to one central idea so it is clear and easy to read. Don’t ​ ​ be afraid to use humour if it suits! ● Good letters are timely if they are in response to a big announcement or ​ ​ event. This means written and sent on the same day. ● Back-up your claims with facts where appropriate. There are many ​ resources on our website (see below for links). ● Try to weave in a personal story if you can and it is fitting. For example: ​ ​ ○ I’m a tourist operator on the Reef and Adani’s coal mine will put my business in jeopardy. ○ I am a teacher and see school students are very attuned to the impact of climate change on the Reef and Adani’s role in this. ○ I went to visit the Reef last year and am saddened by the fact the QLD Government is ignoring coral bleaching events in favour of more coal mining. ○ I’m a Townsville resident who has experienced the mining industry’s boom-bust cycles and I think the future of Townsville should be solar.
