  • Opportunities from Media Crisis
    1 Opportunities From Media Crisis Margaret Simons For at least a couple of centuries the news media business was relatively simple. Journalists and editors produced content that people wanted to read and view, and distributed it thanks to privi- leged access to printing presses and broadcasting licences. The publishers or broadcasters were then able to sell the audience to advertisers. Money was made, and some of it was reinvested in the journalism. Simple, and mostly good. There were some downsides. The costs of entry to the news media business were high. If you didn’t have a printing press or a broadcasting licence, then the notion of ‘freedom of the press’ was of relevance only by extension. The news media businesses were free to speak and publish, and the rest of us lived in the society that formed partly as a result of their freedoms. Particularly in Australia, media barons were a rare breed, and very powerful. Today, nobody would claim that news media remains a simple business. Instead, it has become the fastest changing industry on the planet. Many things that were once taken for granted are no longer true. Journalists no longer have privileged access to the means of publication and broadcast. Instead, for the first time in human history, anyone can publish their thoughts, news and views to the world within minutes of deciding to do so. Meanwhile, advertising is no longer firmly linked to media content. That means the business model that supported most 5 MEDIA INNOVATION AND DISRUPTION journalism is under strain, or broken. Over the last five years there have been mass editorial job losses at Australia’s major print media companies, Fairfax Media and News Corporation.

Giorgio De Chirico, The Red Tower, 1913. (Public Domain) 82 PAGE 82 ................. 18386$ $CH6 02-28-13 12:35:18 PS The city of Christchurch, New Zealand, was until very recently a ‘‘Junior England’’—a small city that still bore the strong imprint of nineteenth-century British colonization, alongside a growing interest in the underlying biophysi- cal setting and the indigenous pre-European landscape. All of this has changed as the city has been subjected to a devastating series of earthquakes, beginning in September 2010, and still continuing, with over 12,000 aftershocks recorded. One of these aftershocks, on February 22, 2011, was very close to the city center and very shallow with disastrous consequences, including a death toll of 185. Many buildings collapsed, and many more need to be demolished for safety purposes, meaning that over 80 percent of the central city will have gone. Tied up with this is the city’s precious heritage—its buildings and parks, rivers, and trees. The threats to heritage throw debates over economics and emotion into sharp relief.
