  • 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.

  • Submission on Senate Enquiry Into Media Diversity in Australia The
    Submission on Senate enquiry into media diversity in Australia The state of media diversity, independence and reliability in Australia and the impact that this has on public interest journalism and democracy. DATE: 6TH DECEMBER 2020 MY BACKGROUND I am a retired business professional who has worked in the information technology and information industry all my working life. My roles have included technical, management, account management, regional sales management and worldwide product marketing. I have taken an interest is current affairs all of my life and am very cognisant of the technical capabilities of the internet and social media. MY SUBMISSION The greatest change to the media landscape in Australia over recent years is the influence of the internet and online media and advertising and the commensurate fall in advertising revenue in the traditional masthead newspapers. The arrival of Google, Facebook, Twitter and other social media has changed the way users explore news, current affairs and other content of interest. The operational model of social media is to fund their business through advertising which extracts large sources of revenue from traditional media. This results in the need for commercial media to cut costs, change their business model, introduce paywalls requiring subscription to access media content, and merge into larger conglomerates. The other major media providers in Australia are the publicly funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and SBS. The internet and social media has not affected their funding source and has in fact increased their reach. The ABC receives over $1 Billion annually and is forever complaining about cuts, be they cuts in real terms or simply through a lack of inflation indexed cost increases.

  • ABC RESPONSE to EDITORIAL REVIEW No: 8 IMPARTIALITY OF
    ABC RESPONSE TO EDITORIAL REVIEW No: 8 IMPARTIALITY OF ABC BUSINESS COVERAGE The ABC welcomes this detailed and extensive review of business coverage across all of our platforms. The overall conclusion of both the reviewer, Kerry Blackburn, and the adviser to the review, Mike Smith, is that there is no discernible ‘anti-business’ bias in the ABC’s coverage, and that the coverage reflects a rich and diverse range of views, curated by competent and knowledgeable presenters and reporters and packaged in accessible and interesting ways. No significant breaches of editorial standards are identified. In terms of overarching observations, the ABC acknowledges the comments from Mr Smith that our business coverage can be unfocussed and uncoordinated by trying to be all things to all people, as well as the findings in the body of the review that the ABC is not a ‘specialist publisher’ and so the language and framing of business stories needs to be as inclusive as possible in order to appeal to a mainstream audience. In response, the ABC acknowledges that there is always room to improve the focus and resource allocation of key coverage and the report provides useful advice on ways to approach that. It should also be noted that, while there is always merit in making business coverage accessible and relevant, the ABC has a wide range of programming where business content can be found. While much of this is general programming for a broad audience, the ABC also has more specialist programs which cater to target audiences and so it is to be expected that content will be pitched and constructed in a range of ways to serve the needs of different audiences.

  • Letters to the Editor Guidelines
    Letters to the editor Guidelines Do you feel strongly about a child poverty issue? Write a letter to the editor using our simple letter writing techniques, list of email addresses and examples of sample letters (family income assistance, housing, health, education, gambling etc): • All newspapers require your name, personal address and daytime telephone number. • Do not send your letter as an attachment. Use cut and paste. • Check the word length accepted by the newspaper (usually around 150 words). Longer letters may be published but could be edited in a way you do not agree with. • The brevity of letters means you can only make one or two points. Make sure your arguments are set out in a logical way. • Get someone unfamiliar with the issue to read the letter – does it make sense to that person? • Stick to the issues and avoid personal attacks (even if you are responding to a personal attack). • Try to respond to an issue as soon as possible. • Proofread your letter carefully and check your word length. • Letters can be emailed –put letter to the editor in the subject line. • If you have any questions or want a letter to the editor checked, email [email protected] Email addresses of main daily papers Letter to editor in subject line/cut and paste text Ashburton Guardian [email protected] Bay of Plenty Times [email protected] Dominion Post [email protected] Daily News [email protected] Daily Post [email protected] Gisborne Herald [email protected] Greymouth Evening Star [email protected] Hawkes Bay Today

    Forget polling voters, just ask the punters - Opinion - smh.com.au http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/forget-polling-voters-just-ask-the... Home » Opinion » Article Forget polling voters, just ask the punters John Garnaut February 9, 2007 THIS week three years ago, David Cox, Labor's slightly dishevelled member for the Adelaide seat of Kingston, stopped to contemplate his fortune in the parliamentary corridor. His party had surged to a 6 percentage point lead in the opinion polls, after years of wretched irrelevance. Publicly, Labor had been talking with caution and humility; privately it was a different story. Cox, a hard-headed economist and strategist, allowed a schoolboy grin to spread across his usually deadpan face. "It's amaaaaazing," he said. That was February 2004. Nine months later, voters threw Cox out of his seat and gave his party another thrashing. Now, Labor is led by a cautious workhorse with none of Mark Latham's fissile characteristics. John Howard has aged three years; and with Iraq, climate change and perhaps interest rates, the times that famously suited him appear to have shifted. Labor's opinion poll lead is now 10 points, not six. Yet there is none of the premature celebration that marked Labor three years ago, and only a hint of the panic that rippled through the Coalition. Chastened by their Latham exuberance, press gallery reporters are falling over themselves to show sagacious restraint and predict a Howard comeback. The pundits now know better than to be swept around by opinion polls. As economists such as Justin Wolfers and Andrew Leigh have shown, polls can have almost zero predictive value so far out from an election.

  • The Donald Trump-Rupert Murdoch Relationship in the United States
    The Donald Trump-Rupert Murdoch relationship in the United States When Donald Trump ran as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, Rupert Murdoch was reported to be initially opposed to him, so the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post were too.1 However, Roger Ailes and Murdoch fell out because Ailes wanted to give more positive coverage to Trump on Fox News.2 Soon afterwards, however, Fox News turned more negative towards Trump.3 As Trump emerged as the inevitable winner of the race for the nomination, Murdoch’s attitude towards Trump appeared to shift, as did his US news outlets.4 Once Trump became the nominee, he and Rupert Murdoch effectively concluded an alliance of mutual benefit: Murdoch’s news outlets would help get Trump elected, and then Trump would use his powers as president in ways that supported Rupert Murdoch’s interests. An early signal of this coming together was Trump’s public attacks on the AT&T-Time Warner merger, 21st Century Fox having tried but failed to acquire Time Warner previously in 2014. Over the last year and a half, Fox News has been the major TV news supporter of Donald Trump. Its coverage has displayed extreme bias in his favour, offering fawning coverage of his actions and downplaying or rubbishing news stories damaging to him, while also leading attacks against Donald Trump’s opponent in the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton. Ofcom itself ruled that several Sean Hannity programmes in August 2016 were so biased in favour of Donald Trump and against Hillary Clinton that they breached UK impartiality rules.5 During this period, Rupert Murdoch has been CEO of Fox News, in which position he is also 1 See e.g.

  • AN Smith Lecture by Michael Gawenda
    A N Smith Lecture in Journalism The University of Melbourne __________________________________________________________________ Do newspapers have a future? And how long is that future? Michael Gawenda Thank you all for coming and thank you Vice Chancellor Glyn Davis for asking me to give this lecture. I am in the company of some very distinguished people who have given the A.N. Smith lecture in the past. I hope I can be somewhere near as interesting and provocative as some of them were. I want to start with a couple of quotes from dead old white men, a demographic I am bound, sooner or later, to join. That’s my future taken care of. I state the obvious of course, but do so because how journalists and editors like me regard the future of newspapers depends on how much of a future we ourselves have--in newspapers and in life. Most these quotes come from books and articles I have not read. They are quotes I have found by using the Google search engine. The Google search engine has now become a widespread research tool in journalism. The effects are not always benign. Still, I have, at times, succumbed to its seductiveness. In 1961, the American playwright Arthur Miller said: `A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself.’ I think that with a small edit, the sort a sub- editor of a certain type could easily perform, this Miller attempt at wisdom about newspapers could have said something that would be as true today as it would have been almost a half century ago : `A bad newspaper, I suppose, is a newspaper talking to itself’.
