  • 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.

  • Amelia Coleman Thesis
    Different, threatening and problematic: Representations of non- mainstream religious schools (Chang, 2016) Amelia Coleman N8306869 Bachelor of Media and Communications (Public Relations) Queensland University of Technology Supervised by Dr Shaun Nykvist (Principal) Dr Rebecca English (Associate) Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education (Research) Office of Education Research (OER) Faculty of Education Queensland University of Technology 2017 Keywords School choice Media representation Religious schools Multicultural education Marketisation Discourse Identity Pluralism ii Abstract Over recent years we have seen a dramatic increase in representation of Muslim schools within the Australian media. This thesis presents the findings of a study comparing media representations of Muslim schools and “fundamentalist” Christian schools in Australia during a 12-month period in which Muslim schools were receiving significant media attention due to financial mismanagement issues occurring within these schools. During this time period an allegation was made that thousands of dollars of taxpayer funding was being sent to Muslim school’s parent organisation, AFIC, rather than being spent on the education of students (Taylor, 2016). The study focused on comparing how Muslim schools and “fundamentalist” Christian schools were constructed by the media during the timeframe in which Muslim schools were under investigation, and how their media representation may become a proxy for understanding how the Australian public are invited to feel about different types of religious schools. The study draws together Fairclough’s framework for Critical Discourse Analysis with Hall’s work on identity and cultural difference in order to explore inequalities that exist within representations of different varieties of non-mainstream religious schools in Australia.

  • How to Write a Good Letter to the Editor: QLD a Guide to Writing Awesome, Powerful Letters
    How to write a good letter to the editor: QLD A Guide to writing awesome, powerful letters Letters to the editor of local papers are an excellent way for politicians to gauge what the public is thinking. This is a how-to guide for writing powerful and useful letters that can inform the public debate around Adani’s coal project. What makes a good letter? Some tips: ● The best letters are short, snappy and succinct - never longer than 200 ​ ​ words. ● Try to limit your letter to one central idea so it is clear and easy to read. Don’t ​ ​ be afraid to use humour if it suits! ● Good letters are timely if they are in response to a big announcement or ​ ​ event. This means written and sent on the same day. ● Back-up your claims with facts where appropriate. There are many ​ resources on our website (see below for links). ● Try to weave in a personal story if you can and it is fitting. For example: ​ ​ ○ I’m a tourist operator on the Reef and Adani’s coal mine will put my business in jeopardy. ○ I am a teacher and see school students are very attuned to the impact of climate change on the Reef and Adani’s role in this. ○ I went to visit the Reef last year and am saddened by the fact the QLD Government is ignoring coral bleaching events in favour of more coal mining. ○ I’m a Townsville resident who has experienced the mining industry’s boom-bust cycles and I think the future of Townsville should be solar.
