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”. -
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. -
Australian Newsroom Mapping Project Report : April 2021
Australian Newsroom Mapping Project Report : April 2021 About this project The Public Interest Journalism Initiative (PIJI) tracks indicators of changes to news production and availability through the Australian Newsroom Mapping Project (ANMP). The project launched on 1 April 2020 and tracks changes from 1 January 2019, with new data releases each month. The map captures five change types, four of which can have either negative (contraction) or positive (expansion) attributes. The change types are ordered according to the seriousness of their impact on production or availability. Further detail is provided in section three. Due to limited resources and the significant methodological difficulty in ensuring rigour, the project does not record any information about journalism job gains and losses. More explanation of the process and some guidance for interpreting the data can be found at the end of this report. We do not presume that this is a complete database, but we do believe that this is the most comprehensive record of its kind. We regularly find changes that were missed or unreported at the time of the change, which therefore are added as backdated entries. The data that informs the April 2021 report can be accessed here. This project benefits from contributions by the public and industry. To submit or correct data, or to discuss this report, please email: [email protected].

WEB BASED REGIONAL NEWSPAPERS: THE ROLE OF CONTENT A thesis presented by Ian J. Knox Ass.Dip.FM., Dip.Teach., Grad.Dip.Ag. In fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business University of Ballarat School of Business P.O. Box 663 University Drive, Mount Helen Ballarat, Victoria 3353 Australia Submitted in March 2002 ABSTRACT The phenomenon and acceptance of electronic publishing has proliferated in the last five years due to the expansion in the use of the World Wide Web in the general community. The initial fears that newspapers would be decimated by the introduction of this technology have been proven groundless, but despite a high web presence by newspapers world wide, profitable models of cyber papers are elusive. In an online environment traditional relationships between newspaper advertising and editorial may not stand. Despite the considerable body of published literature concerning the movement of print newspapers to an online environment, little was found concerning online content. A need to re-evaluate what content and functions are considered to be desirable by print readers, in an online environment was identified as the main objective of this research. Evaluation the of user attitudes to web based newspapers provides a foundation for future research into areas such as developing effective models for profitable online newspapers. To achieve this objective, the research tools used were a content analysis, an online newspaper user survey and newspaper management personal interviews. -

Murray Bridge Took Its Time to Cross Publishing Barriers
PANPA Bulletin, March 2005, pp.58-59. Murray Bridge took its time to cross publishing barriers By Rod Kirkpatrick With the roll call of Australian newspapers that have reached their 150th birthday growing almost by the month – four have attained that milestone since last May – it is fascinating to find that a significant printing centre such as Murray Bridge in South Australia has had a newspaper for only 70 years. Murray Bridge, on the lower reaches of the Murray River, has had various names over the years: Coninka, Edward’s Crossing, The Turnoff, and Mobilong. Murray Bridge was not gazetted until 1940, but the town was part of Mobilong District Council from 1884 and the town area became a Corporation in 1924, with the outlying areas remaining in the Mobilong council. The name was chosen because the first bridge over the Murray was completed there in 1879. Incidentally, the current bridge, the 734-metre-long Swanport Bridge, was completed precisely 100 years later. Until 1934, Murray Bridge people had to rely on outside newspapers for news of their significant little town. The earliest newspaper in the wider district was the Southern Argus, launched at Port Elliott on March 17, 1866, and published at Strathalbyn since 1868. More significantly, the Mount Barker Courier was established on October 1, 1880, by Charles Morris Russell Dumas. Its coverage of Murray Bridge varied until 1909 when Dumas announced in February that he was going to establish an up-to-date printing and publishing office in Murray Bridge before the end of the month. The Courier began presenting a “Murray Bridge News” section, a widened its scope a little from July 16 that year by labelling it “Murray Bridge and River News”. -
