    AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER HISTORY GROUP NEWSLETTER ISSN 1443-4962 No. 37 May 2006 Compiled for the ANHG by Rod Kirkpatrick, 13 Sumac Street, Middle Park, Qld, 4074. Ph. 07-3279 2279. E-mail: [email protected] 37.1 COPY DEADLINE AND WEBSITE ADDRESS Deadline for next Newsletter: 15 July 2006. Subscription details appear at end of Newsletter. [Number 1 appeared October 1999.] The Newsletter is online through the “Publications” link of the University of Queensland’s School of Journalism & Communication Website at www.uq.edu.au/journ-comm/ and through the ePrint Archives at the University of Queensland at http://eprint.uq.edu.au/) CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS: METROPOLITAN 37.2 MEDIA REFORM PROPOSALS Communications Minister Helen Coonan issued on 14 March an outline of proposals to reform Australia’s media laws. She wanted feedback from stakeholders by 18 April. Under the proposals, newspaper groups and radio groups could be acquired by free-to-air TV networks and vice-versa – and so, Nine, for instance, could buy John Fairfax Holdings, and News Ltd could buy Channel 10. Free-to-air channels would face competition from emerging digital TV players. Senator Coonan said the cross-media and foreign ownership restrictions would be removed by 2007 or 2012, but the Government would require at least five “commercial media groups” to remain in metropolitan markets and four in regional markets. Extensive coverage of the Coonan proposals was provided in, for example, the Australian of 15 March (pp.1, 6, 7, 13, 31, 34) and 16 March (pp.2, 14, 17, 19, 22 and 25) and the Australian Financial Review of 15 March (pp.1, 11, 14, 28, 47, 48, 49, 57, 59 and 60).

  • Former CEO of Domain, Antony Catalano
    THORNEY OPPORTUNITIES LTD ACN 080 167 264 8 July 2019 Dear Fellow Shareholders I’m very pleased to announce that Thorney Opportunities Ltd (TOP) has participated in the recent $115 million acquisition of the Australian Community Media group from Nine Entertainment (NEC). TOP has taken a 25% interest in the equity component of the acquisition and has invested alongside its associated privately owned Thorney Investment Group which has also taken 25%. The remaining 50% has been acquired by interests associated with media entrepreneur and former CEO of Domain, Antony Catalano. TOP, Thorney Investment Group and Antony Catalano have formed a joint venture company to own and manage the ACM assets. ACM is a leading Australian media company which comprises more than 170 publications including The Canberra Times, The Newcastle Herald, The Ballarat Courier, The Border Mail, The Launceston Examiner, The Illawarra Mercury, The Land, Queensland Country Life and a host of other influential regional newspapers and publications and more than 130 associated community based websites. NEC acquired ACM as part of its takeover of the Fairfax Media group which was completed in December 2018. NEC elected to dispose of ACM and the Thorney/Catalano joint venture was the successful bidder. The acquisition became effective on June 30, 2019. While it is very early days, we are very excited about the opportunities presented by TOP’s participation in the acquisition of ACM. We believe that the combination of Thorney’s investment management expertise and Antony Catalano’s proven ability to create value from media assets will result in considerable upside for TOP investors over time.

  • Aap Submission to the Senate Inquiry on Media Diversity
    AAP SUBMISSION TO THE SENATE INQUIRY ON MEDIA DIVERSITY AAP thanks the Senate for the opportunity to make a submission on the Inquiry into Media Diversity in Australia. What is a newswire A newswire is essentially a wholesaler of fact-based news content (text, pictures and video). It reports on politics, business, courts, sport and other news and provides this to other media outlets such as newspapers, radio and TV news. Often the newswire provides the only reporting on a subject and hence its decisions as to what to report play a very important role in informing Australians about matters of public interest. It is essential democratic infrastructure. A newswire often partners with other global newswire agencies to bring international stories to a domestic audience and also to take domestic stories out to a global audience. Newswires provided by news agencies have traditionally served as the backbone of the news supply of their respective countries. Due to their business model they contribute strongly to the diversity of media. In general there is a price for a defined number of circulation – be it printed papers, recipients of TV or radio broadcasters or digital recipients. The bigger the circulation, the higher the price thus making the same newswire accessible for small media with less purchasing power as well as for large media conglomerates with strong financial resources.1 ​ This co-operative business model has been practically accepted world-wide since the founding of the Associated Press (AP) in the USA in the mid-19th century. Newswire agencies are “among the oldest ​ media institutions to survive the evolution of media production from the age of the telegraph to the age of 2 platform technologies”.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Purposes of the Queensland Police Move-On Powers
    The reasons and the reality: A critical analysis of the purposes of the Queensland police move-on powers Megan McKay Bachelor of Arts Humanities Program Queensland University of Technology This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) 2008 “The legislation spells out clearly what it [the Queensland police move-on powers] is to be used for. We are not singling out any particular group” – The Honourable Theo Cooper (then Minister for Police and Corrective Services and Minister for Racing) (Queensland Parliament, 1997c, p. 4393). “Move-on powers are not focused on any particular age group, sex, colour or race within the community. They only come into play when a person acts in a manner contrary to public interest as determined by this parliament” – The Honourable Judy Spence (then Minister for Police and Corrective Services) (Queensland Parliament, 2006d, p. 1814). Interviewer: …You’ve already kind of said young people may be being disproportionately targeted using the powers – do you feel there are any other demographic groups that may be… Jordan: Yeah. Interviewer: …targeted? Jordan: Well, Indigenous people, obviously, and people with mental illness. Ah, they’re the, the main one and, y’ know, homeless people. Megan McKay 04404254 ii Note Where reference is made in this thesis to a piece of legislation or policy that is currently in force, the version of the piece of the legislation or policy referred to is that which was in force as on October 9, 2008. Amendments to these legislative acts and policies, including their repeal, may have been made subsequent to this date.

  • Australian Associated Press Submission to the Senate Inquiry on the Treasury Laws Amendment (News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code) Bill 2020
    AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATED PRESS SUBMISSION TO THE SENATE INQUIRY ON THE TREASURY LAWS AMENDMENT (NEWS MEDIA AND DIGITAL PLATFORMS MANDATORY BARGAINING CODE) BILL 2020 Australian Associated Press (AAP) thanks the Senate for an opportunity to comment on the Treasury Laws Amendment (News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code) Bill 2020 (the Bill). ​ ​ The Treasurer has stated that “[t]he News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code is ​ ​ a world-leading initiative. It is designed to level the playing field and to ensure a sustainable and viable Australian media landscape. It's a key part of the government's strategy to ensure that the Australian economy is able to take full advantage of the benefits of digital technology, supported by appropriate regulation to protect key elements of Australian society. One such key element is a strong and sustainable Australian news media landscape.”1 ​ AAP supports the Bill in its current form as it assists ‘retail’ media, that is, news media who have a direct-to-consumer “News Source” (as defined in the Bill), at a time when the industry is in a state of deep and prolonged crisis. However whilst the Bill helps AAP’s retail media customers, it does not contemplate a critical pillar of competition and media diversity in the news media industry in Australia - namely wholesale providers of news. One of the most important wholesale suppliers of news content in nearly every country is the national newswire. In Australia, this independent wholesale newswire service is fulfilled by AAP, which has been covering the news continuously for over 85 years.
