It’s the reason I buy The Advertiser. I like that it is a magazine and glossy. Love flipping the pages. If something piques my interest I will then go to the internet for more information. If it were not for the magazine, I would not have purchased my current home as it was in a suburb I never knew existed. From reader comment, from February 2017 survey.

Acknowledgements Thanks to Professor Stephanie Tailby, Professor Sian Moore and Dr Mike Richardson for their continuous encouragement, support and constructive criticisms. 5 Abstract The National Graphical Association (NGA) typified the British model of craft unionism with substantial positional power and organisational strength. This study finds that it relied upon, and was reinforced by, the common occupational bonds that members identified with. It concludes that the value of collective identity warrants greater attention in the debate over union renewal alongside theories around mobilisation and organising (Kelly 2018), alliance-building and social movements (Holgate 2014). Sectionalism builds solidarity through the exclusion of others. Occupational identity is vulnerable to technological change. This model neglects institutional and ‘associational’ power, eschewing legal protections in favour of collective bargaining and ignoring alliance-building in favour of sovereign authority.

    The Nature of the Editorial Deficit ]

    [The Nature of the Editorial Deficit ] Page 1 The Nature of the Editorial Deficit Margaret Simons, Gary Dickson and Rachel Alembakis This project sought to shed light on the nature of the editorial deficit in different kinds of Australian newsrooms and to gain insight into how editors and newsroom managers would de- ploy additional journalistic resources, should they become available. We conducted a series of in-depth interviews with editors and newsroom managers at 12 me- dia organisations, selected to represent a diversity of types – across print, broadcast and on- line, national, metropolitan and local. Our questions were designed to tease out the way in which the decrease of working journalists – nine per cent since 2014, according to the ACCC1 – plays out in newsrooms, and in the news and information available to the Australian public. We sought to examine the ways in which me- dia organisations are responding to the pressures, and the choices they are making. We also asked how editors would seek to use any increase in the funding available for public interest journalism. Such additional resources could come from commercial operations, from philan- thropy and /or through the measures proposed by the ACCC Digital Platforms Inquiry report, including grants and tax deductible philanthropic contributions. They could also be made avail- able through tax rebates, which are the subject of separate research commissioned by PIJI. As detailed below, this project has indicated a worrying “shallowing” of public interest journal- ism, with clear consequences for the reputation and capacity of local media in particular. As well, our data suggests that if more resources were available for journalism, editors would use them to provide more public interest journalism – both routine reporting of public forums and public issue “beats”, and also investigative work.
  • Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict

    Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict

    Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict Matthew Baum Yuri Zhukov Harvard Kennedy School University of Michigan matthew [email protected] [email protected] How do differences in ownership of media enterprises shape news coverage of international conflict? We examine this relationship using a new dataset of 591,532 articles on US-led multinational military opera- tions in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo, published by 2,505 newspapers in 116 countries. We find that ownership chains exert a homogenizing effect on the content of newspapers’ coverage of foreign pol- icy, resulting in coverage across co-owned papers that is more similar in scope (what they cover), focus (how much “hard” relative to “soft” news they offer), and diversity (the breadth of topics they include in their coverage of a given issue) relative to coverage across papers that are not co-owned. However, we also find that competitive market pressures can mitigate these homogenizing effects, and incentivize co-owned outlets to differentiate their coverage. Restrictions on press freedom have the opposite impact, increasing the similarity of coverage within ownership chains. February 27, 2018 What determines the information the press reports about war? This question has long concerned polit- ical communication scholars (Hallin 1989, Entman 2004). Yet it is equally important to our understanding of international conflict. Prevailing international relations theories that take domestic politics into account (e.g., Fearon 1994, 1995, Lake and Rothschild 1996, Schultz 2001) rest on the proposition that the efficient flow of information – between political leaders and their domestic audiences, as well as between states involved in disputes – can mitigate the prevalence of war, either by raising the expected domestic political costs of war or by reducing the likelihood of information failure.1 Yet models of domestic politics have long challenged the possibility of a perfectly informed world (Downs 1957: 213).
