THE QUESTION

When it comes to producing journalism is cheap and facts are expensive opinion. Decomposition is more, agenda-driven sensationalism profitable than objective reporting.

We do not need a crystal ball to see where that leads – has already happened in the United States. The win was based on the facts” squeezed” covering infotainment, where extreme views are presented under the guise sean news – as derandolo better

‘a pretty sad there. Newspapers from coast to coast were closing their doors, while Fox News dominates television ratings. Powerful interests such as Rupert Murdoch swept to push their own political agenda by the influence sean the media and property. An executive at Fox News, once bluntly told a reporter sean the network is “a campaign 24/7 policy. No one [else] was discussion points for the American public to release the morning after morning, day after day, night after night.” No wonder Gina Rinehart

disappearjournalists and corporate interests are lining up to fill the void. Rinehart consultant Jack Cowin has already told the ABC’s “This is a business, not a public service,” to draw from the account sean the definition sean editorial direction, including on issues such as the price sean carbon.
We need access to an independent fact-based reports to make informed decisions in a democracy. This is because governments have a role in ensuring that citizens with the information they need to be made available. You need to protect our right to be informed, and have the responsibility to remain long arms to replace not just agree with Julia Gillard Rinehart. Here’s what she could: increase funding and protect the independence sean the ABC and SBS (without playing favorites) increas ed media-ownership diversity, an independent fund to provide scholarships for investigative journalism and media start- ups that seanfer tax breaks for philanthropists do the same. The difficult situation in the U.S. prompted philanthropists to ProPublica, for example, to create the later won several Pulitzer. Nobody wins when this card is The Sydney Herald mining could, and without the intervention sean the Australian government only has access to” news” that is profitable. Like the United States has shown us that opinion is cheap, but the independent journalism is priceless. Ed Coper is an American media consultant and activist.The Professional Eric Beecher
There are so many empty words in use during the crisis sean journalism. ” Independent” journalism – what does this mean? Journalism is independent sean the government, regardless sean ownership or independent-minded?
The fact is that salute the old business model that has supported the quality sean journalism in the newspaper industry has collapsed. This is because most sean the advertising revenue, moved that the resources sean newspapers to the Internet, but only about 15 ¢ sean every dollar that moves made by the online newspapers argued. It’s also because in the last ten years, the Board sean Fai rfax, a lot sean manufactures sean quality journalism in Australia, fell asleep at the wheel and failed to take preventive measures to mitigate the consequences sean the trend was that obviously too many people who, unlike the Board sean Directors sean the last decade, including the media industry. In the past, much sean this high-quality journalism – such as comments, inquiries and reporting on politics, law and public affairs – has cross-financed by the owners sean newspapers that had been distracted a bit like their big profits fund, journalism, the power and influence them. But now, these gains were evaporated and the cross-subsidization is to disappear. Does this mean that the government should intervene and to fill the financial gap? Well, enter this minefield on your own risk, because those who support government funding sean quality journalism is probably by The Australian and other supporters are abusing the free market more favorable for Journalism” ” Soviet-style government control sean journalism. I’m willing to bear the hatred and arm support government funding sean quality journalism, because I believe that democracy will be severely undermined by the Australian market failure. no support for the newspapers owned by the Government or any kind sean mechanism that the government has direct influence or control over journalism. But governments finance many parts sean society, such as food and art, without hands-on control. And the ground many start-ups, where the government a say. The quality sean journalism is a central element sean acivil society. We miss him when he is gone and even The Australian is going to subsidize them.

Australian Governments must do more to protect independent journalism. If they had done more in the past, the task would not be so urgent now.
independent journalism will not thrive without a diversity sean ownership. Governments can pass laws to protect them. Our inability to set appropriate rules has, more to the mass media concentrated in the developed world out, with News Ltd and Fairfax Media (publisher sean the Herald ) 86 percent sean the control sean the circulation. Gina Rinehart, who wants more influence in Fairfax, has so far failed to recognize the right sean journalists to report independently. News Ltd has a journalistic culture that is compatible. These two great companies, a controlled foreign, are killed in a fight for survi val. This disaster was delivered by market forces. In the past 30 years, several studies have warned that the concentration sean the abuse sean media power suite, how serious a threat as government interference. Governments have not acted because they suspicious sean the media companies that were screaming censorship”” once the action is mentioned. You will need to understand that the interests sean the public and independent journalists are not the same as the interests sean media owners. As companies seek profits to support the restructuring and cutting operations, the diversity, quality and quantity sean independent journalism will be further threatened. Faced with this crisis, governments should consider tax dollars to support a greater diversity in the public interest journalism, as you do with the arts. The Greens believe that ID cards could be enshrined in law editorial independence. Here, too, instead sean just the idea aside, we finally have the problem sean providing a framework for independent journalism and democratic media seriously. The report outlines Finkelstein, were protected by the manner in which the diversity and journalism in the public interest subsidies elsewhere. Scientists, including myself, has submitted an idea sean the tax deductibility sean donations for nonprofit investigative journalism. Journalism sean this kind can be published in cooperation with large companies, and support for small independent media. Some people warn that it could be politically influenced decision-makers. But whether the regulations have worked elsewhere, should be considered here. Finkelstein submissions to all major media owners rejected any government intervention. But their interests are different from those sean journalists and the public. Governments should play a role in supporting the journalists in the production sean different and independent journalism.

We have been heavily subsidizing journalism. The budget for 2011-12 ABC was $ 995 million. SBS received $ 223 million for the same period. And Parliament has expressly instructed the majority sean this money, “inform, educate and entertain the audience.”
So it is strange that when media theorists develop intelligent systems to subsidize journalism in order to protect democracy – such as newspapers out sean public funds or tax-deductible funds for the media – which rarely mentioned ABC and SBS provide money for this purpose. Maybe some people think we should increase the budget sean these issuers. This is a legitimate debate. Let us all draw lines and say it out. But it did not have to spend a huge amount sean public funds to inform the public is simply dishonest. debate in our media is very provincial. Fairfax is at a crossroads. News Ltd is, even though the company reluctant to admit. Here the U.S. about two or three years ahead sean us. Their experience suggests that the media will be drastically reduced in the coming years. But we also said good journalism is good journalism, either on paper or online. I hope that our two giant versions sean new business models to develop and adapt the times. Certainly many others. The average U.S. online is quick and plentiful. Readers and writers Australians have every reason to be optimistic, at least for the medium-term future. If you want to be taken seriously, the proponents sean subsidies need to answer some basic questions. How many media needs sean a healthy democracy? We may assume that more is better less. But as has been shown in recent years, many people believe, some newspapers and radio stations from the city should be run. Several media critics argue tabloids and talkback radio are hurting democracy. So, just ask, “journalism more” is not much sean a guide for decision making. Maybe the government should subsidize only journalism “worthy” if there was a way to define such a thing. The printing house has always been closely associated with the delivery sean something that people want to read, or watch connected. At this point the case sean journalism grants is still little more than a thought bubble. Chris Berg is a researcher with the Institute for Public Affairs.
