I am pleased to report that we have made very good progress with our strategic initiatives to reduce our cost base significantly and to transform our business to take advantage of the digital developments that allow us to compete more and more effectively in real time and multiple media. In June we announced the acceleration of our Fairfax of the Future program and further major changes to the company and the way we do business. Your Board and management recognise our company’s very considerable strengths in areas like our journalism and digital businesses – but also acknowledge the changes sweeping through the media sector around the world which require continuing flexibility and adaptability. We are determining our company’s future by making important decisions that will see us focusing on the areas of the business that have good potential for long-term results for shareholders. I would like to recognise the hard work and enormous skill of the people in your company. Our metro business made EBITDA of $102.5 million even in some of the worst advertising markets in a very long time along with worldwide structural changes in the newspaper industry. Our regional media business is showing great resilience in its financial performance through the economic cycle. At the same time we have grown a digital-only business across news, classifieds and transactions that this year generated a quarter of a billion dollars of revenue for the first time, and is growing strongly. Our radio business has new management that is vigorously engaged in growing the business. Our balanced portfolio of businesses and our strategy aims to ensure that Fairfax Media remains one of the leading media voices in our markets and has a long and strong future. I would like to take you through some of the big changes we are making. • The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age will be moving to the much more user-friendly compact format in the new year. This format is the same as The Australian Financial Review. While the size is changing, there will be no change to our commitment to high-quality independent journalism. Many of you will know that a number of quality mastheads around the world have already moved to a compact format – The Times, The Independent and the Boston Herald to name a few. • This new format is facilitating another of our major changes: the closing of our Chullora and Tullamarine print plants by the middle of 2014. This move alone will see us make cost savings of $44 million annually because we will be more efficiently utilising our network of smaller, more flexible modern plants. • We are also making changes in our metro newsrooms to meet the changing needs of readers and advertisers. These changes achieve more nimble multimedia newsrooms with integration across print, digital and mobile platforms and better utilisation of our skills across our mastheads here and in New Zealand. • Fairfax Media has one of the largest digital news audiences in Australia. We are increasingly able to monetise that strength. From the first quarter of 2013 we are introducing digital subscriptions to our Metro mastheads. eW are doing this very thoughtfully and will be introducing a “metered” model with a base level of free access. The Australian Financial Review last year introduced its acclaimed iPad app which won the PANPA national app of the year award for 2012. Unfortunately cost saving imperatives meant we needed to announce redundancies. Including those already announced in Fairfax of the Future and the changes outlined here, 1900 people will be leaving the company over the next three years. Every job matters and your Board and management wish these redundancies were avoidable. They are not. 2 $2,732.4M REVENUE FROM OperatiONS $2,310.9M Down 6.2% from last year UNDERLYING STATUTORY TOtal NET PROFIT NET LOSS DIVIDENDS AFTER TAX AFTER TAX $205.4M $2,732.4M 3.0 CENTS Down 25% FULLY FRANKED from last year These changes to the company are allowing us to achieve In closing, I would like to acknowledge the significant contribution the $170 million in annual savings that we have previously of my fellow Board members. Each and every one of them has announced in two years, not three. With the introduction of skills and experience that have been of immense benefit to the additional cost saving initiatives that we have now identified, company in this challenging environment. the target for cost savings has been revised up. We will achieve First I would like to acknowledge the very important contribution annual cost savings of $235 million by June 2015. made by Bob Savage who retired from the Board at the end So we are working smarter and making sure the cost base of of June this year. Bob’s deep skills in the IT industry, retail and the business better suits the global media environment, an the finance industry were much appreciated during his time environment that is requiring all media companies, including on the Board.

As ways of digital interaction increase – so do our opportunities to derive value for our shareholders. We believe we have very good reason to be confident about this fast growing part of our business.

    THE RT. HON. LORD JUSTICE LEVESON HOLD THE FRONT PAGE: NEWS-GATHERING IN A TIME OF CHANGE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA 12 DECEMBER 2012 Introduction 1. It is a real privilege to have been asked to give this public lecture and, echoing the Vice Chancellor, I am pleased to acknowledge that we are standing on the land of the Wurundjeri people and to pay respect to their Elders and families past and present. I would also like to thank the Centre for Advanced Journalism at the University of Melbourne for the invitation. I am delighted to be here. 2. I hope you will forgive me for providing some context to what I am about to say. As you are aware, I have spent the last 17 months engaged in an Inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the press. The Report was published nearly a fortnight ago, on 29 November 2012, and, as I have said before, it may be that some of you are hoping that I will elaborate. If you are, I am afraid that you are going to be disappointed. When I launched the Report, which must be read in the context of the Terms of Reference for the Inquiry, I said this: ‘I believe that the Report can and must speak for itself; to that end, I will be making no further comment. Nobody will be speaking for me about its contents either now or in the future.’ 3. The reason is very simple. I treat the Report as a judgment and judges simply do not enter into discussion about judgments they have given; they do not respond 1 to comment, however misconceived; neither do they seek to correct error.

It will now own 50 per cent of Foxtel and 100 per cent of Fox Sports. Telstra owns the other 50 per cent of Foxtel. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission opposed a rival bid for ConsMedia by Kerry Stokes’s Seven Group, which already owned 25 per cent. Stokes was expected to receive a $500 million windfall from the News deal. Darren Davidson and Damon Kitney reported (Australian, 12 October 2012, p.21) that Stokes was understood to have been “eyeing News’s Perth newspaper, the Sunday Times, to create a seven-day news operation’ in conjunction with Seven’s West Australian. News had not put the Sunday paper up for sale but might be willing to listen to a potential offer, sources told the Australian. On 31 October, 91.91 per cent of ConsMedia shareholders voted in favour of accepting the News Limited offer (Australian, 1 November 2012, p.23).

  • Framing the NBN: an Analysis of Newspaper Representations
    Framing the NBN: An Analysis of Newspaper Representations Rowan Wilken, Swinburne University of Technology Jenny Kennedy, University of Melbourne Michael Arnold, University of Melbourne Martin Gibbs, University of Melbourne Bjorn Nansen, University of Melbourne Abstract The National Broadband Network (NBN), Australia’s largest public infrastructure project, was initiated to deliver universal access to high-speed broadband. Since its announcement, the NBN has attracted a great deal of media coverage, coupled with at times divisive political debate around delivery models, costs and technologies. In this article we report on the results of a pilot study of print media coverage of the NBN. Quantitative and qualitative content analysis techniques were used to examine how the NBN was represented in The Age and The Australian newspapers during the period from 1 July 2008 to 1 July 2013. Our findings show that coverage was overwhelmingly negative and largely focused on the following: potential impacts on Telstra; lack of a business plan, and of cost-benefit analysis; problems with the rollout; cost to the federal budget; and implications for business stakeholders. In addition, there were comparatively few articles on potential societal benefits, applications and uses, and, socio-economic implications. Keywords: National Broadband Network, media representations, The Age, The Australian, newspaper coverage, content analysis Introduction The success of the National Broadband Network (NBN) in fulfilling its ambition to provide high-speed broadband to every business and household in the country, grow the digital economy, and support digital inclusion will be shaped by how it is understood, adopted, and appropriated by end-users. Since the project was announced on 7 April 2009 by the then- Labor Federal Government, the NBN has attracted a great deal of media coverage, coupled with, at times, divisive political debate around the model, costs and technology best fit for purpose.

  • Chapter 3 Section 5
    SECTION 5: CHINA’S DOMESTIC INFORMATION CONTROLS, GLOBAL MEDIA INFLUENCE, AND CYBER DIPLOMACY Key Findings • China’s current information controls, including the govern- ment’s new social credit initiative, represent a significant es- calation in censorship, surveillance, and invasion of privacy by the authorities. • The Chinese state’s repression of journalists has expanded to target foreign reporters and their local Chinese staff. It is now much more difficult for all journalists to investigate politically sensitive stories. • The investment activities of large, Chinese Communist Par- ty-linked corporations in the U.S. media industry risk under- mining the independence of film studios by forcing them to consider self-censorship in order to gain access to the Chinese market. • China’s overseas influence operations to pressure foreign media have become much more assertive. In some cases, even without direct pressure by Chinese entities, Western media companies now self-censor out of deference to Chinese sensitivity. • Beijing is promoting its concept of “Internet sovereignty” to jus- tify restrictions on freedom of expression in China. These poli- cies act as trade barriers to U.S. companies through both cen- sorship and restrictions on cross-border data transfers, and they are fundamental points of disagreement between Washington and Beijing. • In its participation in international negotiations on global Inter- net governance, norms in cyberspace, and cybersecurity, Beijing seeks to ensure continued control of networks and information in China and to reduce the risk of actions by other countries that are not in its interest. Fearing that international law will be used by other countries against China, Beijing is unwilling to agree on specific applications of international law to cyberspace.
