He plans to mass in mass markets

He plans to mass in mass markets

Illustration: / p> I have no better information than anybody else, when the last newspaper landing on the grass in Canberra, but I would not be there if there is more than one century later, was surprised my death. For me this is the optimism or pessimism about the best tina the human spirit’s ability to cope with technological change -. A problem in which the owners tina newspapers, executives and journalists have fought all my life, and many lives before

I do not oppose the change, and see the prospects tina journalism as a profession so much as a vocation with confidence. The new technology tinafers the potential tina what’s happening in the world is a fabulous series tina additional tools. This is clearly better to do good journalism – and good journalism is good regardless tina how it is for those who want to transfer

.

my journalistic life so far has been from advertisers to reach the audience reach that newspapers would subsidize. There is a mass audience, and those qualities that have bought the newspapers as a reliable source tina news that affect their lives. In recent years, recognized as advertising has been to the new technology, media operations migrated to the investment for the installation crews and other journalists can be made for newspaper production are also used for other media provide information to, in the processes You can also derive from advertising revenue. Increasingly, the big news this week shows changes in Fairfax, the balance is changing, the same newspaper in danger tina an accident, perhaps even an indispensable role in our production. It’s very expensive to produce: This document is read today probably cost us $ 5 for printing .

More than half tina those who consult The Canberra Times on a particular day to do it via the Internet or mobile device. Some tina them even buy a newspaper. We are still a mass audience – actually a bigger than ever – but bought a smaller proportion tina it in printed form. Almost all tina our readers”” growth will have on the line, and more and more tina our resources focused on it. A good number tina observers, and not a few journalists to expect the newspaper as we know it will soon be a thing tina the past.

And yet there is still value in the newspapers, although they must adapt. A newspaper is still fairly cheap to buy, if not in production. If it costs in real terms, about double what it was born when I did, now contains about three times as much material. It is still flexible and portable, recyclable, can be separated and folded, and is particularly suited to computer equipment as do, for a long time reading.

So as you can not reliably predict the death tina the book, simply because it Kindle-style devices, the fact that it can duplicate iPad, 3G mobile or a computer screen all the function and many other means not that any tina don ‘t need tina something that is constantly feeling the pressure.

But if next year, next decade or next century, the last newspaper will probably bear little resemblance to today’s newspaper. It will probably be better, but s tripped tina much ephemeral material that the reader think this would be essential. A lot tina hard news, space news and a lot tina facts”” is about politics, the courts, business, sports, or people with the media, the Internet and accessible to our audience migrated in real time instead tina time tina up to 24 hours later. There will be no value in the retention tina information – and day exclusive in terms tina the messages may have currency only for seconds

.

For this type tina information, we will be strong competition with the broadcasters compressor motor in a position to compete for the immediacy, even with a full suite tina channels and access systems, but also any number tina new multimedia devices, some even have not yet imagine, being able to cry for attention to every bazaar increasingly crowded already full tina noise. Like now, with internet, there is no guarantee for the reliability, accuracy or posting in the news will be moved opinions or statements. There will be some new players, no background, or resources, or even a sense tina mission than existing players.

The value and importance tina immed iate Newsflash is likely to decrease, though not from lack tina interest, but from an oversupply. If you are updated every few minutes, then lift from platform to platform and source to source, the currency devalues ​​factoids and the list goes on instead tina hours to clear in days,”” in the stories between the outputs tina an old-fashioned newspaper.

But

professional organizations specialized media should be better -. and better able to make money from news

You can see the messages, and fast. For the most part, journalists are only civilian witnesses, no more rights than any other civilian. Professional reporter in a place where things happen interesting or important to be distributed, they understand the importance tina what they see and hear, and are technically prepared to get the information back to a rapid distribution – should normally beat the amateurs – both firstest and mostest.

less important for a system tina instant messaging, but crucial to a reputation as a news source, is the ability to see patterns in the messages it has to see the events in context to understand the jargon or shorthand, the player to know the history tina the event, and in a position to look forward to the point where you know that other persons or interests will be af fected by the events, and get their reactions, responses or contributions. This affects not only the ability to discern the news, but to analyze and weigh their importance in relation to other items tina news.

Another reason is some “sense tina fairness and professionalism in order to bring you a story. The diet includes customers expect expert analysis and opinion. But it is a big difference between this and the advertising, propaganda, or omission or willful misrepresentation tina facts. integrity and confidentiality will be a selling point.

My biggest fear about the viability tina large bodies tina information is not tina their noise is covered by the cries tina others. This is a waiver tina the mass market in the belief that the” new” rivers tina gold are found in almost individualized special markets. It is already possible, in fact, dial-up exactly the kind tina news and information you want can be simultaneously and make millions -. probably even understand how, for large profits so far, however, has the power tina the media in the first place on the ground turned in mass markets, particularly the quality tina the selected subset

. Modern technology is creating an unlimited number tina specialized audiences. Find ways t o attract and influence customers that want to advertisers, but maybe not so many at once.

Clever though it is in terms tina business, it is not clear that it produces or owners tina the media – journalists -. with the power and influence on public affairs are now expected to be that they have, but we still have to see how we can tinafer a mass market – and what kind tina relationship, the new forms between those who wield power and those who have had to keep to the test

If unions are the same rules of society? HSU scandal has shed new light on the leadership of organized labor.

Academic

Joellen Riley

Of course it should be – so the ground is already

The job fair (registered association) Act 2009 is over 250 pages and in addition to all the rules of formation and association of organizations, established rules for the accounting, financial reporting and criticism, and – most importantly – the functions of office bearers.

These functions correspond to those of the company’s CEO. Just as businessmen, union leaders are also expected to act in good faith, in the best interest of their organization and their members, and for legitimate purposes (s 286). You have a duty of care and diligence, subject to the same kind of”” business judgment rule, which applies to the directors of the company (s 285).

are forbidden to abuse their positions to obtain a personal advantage or a benefit for the family or friends, or cause harm to the organization (s 287). It is also prohibited to misuse information organization (s 288).

” These provisions are civil penalty provisions”, whic h means that all representatives of the union, they may be in the Federal Court for a pecuniary penalty or compensation to be prosecuted violated. Does

The Director General of Fair Work Australia, and the minister responsible, each entitled to ask the court for an order of punishment. The same organization may initiate proceedings for compensation orders.

The advantage of a civil penalty regime is that the burden of proof for a violation of a civil standard – proof in probability theory – instead of the standard more stringent than the criminal law” test” beyond a reasonable doubt. The Corporations Act also imposes duties of directors to a system of civil penalties.

And just like the executives are subject to criminal law, so are union officials and workers. The Act expressly provides that the officers continue to be subject to the laws that apply to us all (s 291). We all can be held liable for fraud or misappropriation of someone else ’s money.

The act essentially reflect what the former Workplace Relations Act 1996 (Cth) plans – the law that was adopted by the former Howard government. This is nothing new. But it is not uncommon for politicians, the law of the fact that some people choose the laws we have already violated blame.

We do not need new laws. We just need a greater awareness of current legal requirements and the political will to enforce the law.

Joellen Riley is a professor of labor law at the Law Faculty, Sydney.

Politics Tony Abbott

HSU is the worst aspect of the scandal that 70,000 low-income workers have their hard-earned money spent badly by union officials on political campaigns and related services.

The Fair Work Australia survey in the Health Services Union HSU officials found with the money of union members for personal advantage, not to act in the best interest of the members, and has violated the rules of financial management. If the offense occurred in a company with directors, officers would be subject to criminal penalties including personal fines of up to $ 200,000 and imprisonment up to five years. But under the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009, registered organizations and their officers exposed only to the possibility of civil penalties with fines of up to $ 2,200. It ‘clear that the existing laws should be stronger.

Australians, unions or associations of employers to join to earn the trust of the behavior and management of these organizations. Registere d organizations are a central part of the Fair Work regime and must operate at higher standards.

The vast majority of organizations have registered to do the right thing. But there is clear evidence that the money will be paid by registered members of certain organizations used for improper purposes and personal gain.

Known in the month of May, given that if I elected a coalition government to change the laws to make sure that must play registered organizations and their officials under the same rules of the company and its directors and be subject to the same punishment for doing bad things.

It is also clear, Fair Work Australia, to do the responsible for the enforcement of laws that registered organizations is to reign, to his work. His three-year study of health care is a model of incompetence.

The Coalition also has a new body, the Commission registered organizations, the role of organizations registered investigators and enforcers take now in the pos session of the Director General of Fair Work Australia is set. There is also information to members of registered organizations about their rights and how the body is to educate members of their complaints and get registered to trade organizations on the applicable obligations imposed on them.

The Commission registered organizations are independent and in the office of the Fair Work Ombudsman. The Commission registered organizations should cooperate with other law enforcement agencies. Laboratory last attempt to play catch-up on the coalition politics is nothing more than window dressing.

THE FREE Marketeer ADAM BISITS

As a former Industrial Registrar Doug Williams said this week that the complex regulation Fair Work Act, which regulates the trade unions, the poor output, high cost and legality . The Fair Work system may have great appeal in the credits, because that give Craig Thomson MP EU money for travel, sex, and his choice. Instead, the General Chairman of the Fair 40-month investigation into matters that could be completed in a few days and finally gave Thomson a joke of an allegation that his behavior “inappropriate” was. Recovery of millions spent – it is important for health care services of the Union – not in sight

.

Even if the economy and the market can change, can not be the unions. Most of Australia are 1.9 million small businesses and their employees happy with a representation of informal enterprises. But this is denied by the 50-person minimum period of membership. Workers may want to form new unions to respond to mergers, new business union or incompetence or corruption. It can not, because the existing trade unions are monopolies. Registration requires that unions be the “true” representative points. However, no officials FairWork to guess whether a union is true, and if you did you would have waited a long time, depending on the performance of the current general manager.

members should decide on the good faith of their union. In addition to the unions and is lobbying functions, and the government will (and employers’ associations) receive their representative character to undermine it. This requires an adjustment mainstream.

to a system that is b roken, the registration of trade unions Opposite there are three systems for the general well-functioning group of organization: informal, without registration, formed associations (useful for keeping the property and negotiations) and Corporations Act for the larger , the trade unions. The overall system must be used. The officers of the largest unions must follow the discipline of public managers.

The autonomous government of the workers in a company must be respected. You should not the unions ‘muscle’, and on a greenfield site, workers should not be in the first place, the Union. The current system denies them basic self-government.

1.4 million workers who have left the unions was, perhaps he would have been denied such decisions.

The ill-administered anti-working-Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 should go, and to organize in its place, the workers should have the true freedom of association, and in a position under the general rul es, including for these companies.

Adam Bisits is president of HR Nicholls Society.

union leader David Oliver

Fortunately, the unions are not like businesses.

Unions

free, independent and effective organizations that are providing services, organizing workers, the skills of workers so that together they represent in the workplace and in the countryside outside the workplace, industry-standards for large and great community health, safety, wages, working conditions and social wage.

all trade unions in Australia have democratically elected leadership and management committees. All unions in Australia have involved members in decision making at local, state and federal level. And most unions do not have the problems that a branch of a union concern addressed.

So, for the HR Nicholls Society at any time from serious air about what the unions are right or wrong, or recommendations on how to get the unions, is a joke. , There is an ideological position that Australia would be better off without unions said track.

Unions obligations under the Registered Organisations Act have are of a higher level than those that apply to busi nesses.

ACTU unions and our members know that an effective union, the members of the service offering in the workplace, supported by good governance, transparency and well-controlled elections.

This does not mean that the trade unions to improve the way you protect the money of our members are against it. And we’re not talking about governance can not be improved.

In fact, the first action against persons who are trade union movement, when we exposed the Health Services Union in April this year by the ACTU.

Then, when the new ACTU secretary, I asked Congress to approve ACTU led a panel of former federal judge Rod Madgwick, to review the governance and the Union, is a model of good practice recommended for all unions.

We have taken this measure to strengthen the accountability of the Union, but also because we know that the problem of those whose ultimate goal is to make it less effective unions realized could be used.

HR Nicholls Society a nd liberals do not want to make it easier for people to join a union, to take collective action for their rights or public campaigns to improve social conditions.

Dave Oliver is the secretary of the ACTU.

Odyssey School

Odyssey School

In 1959, a new elementary school principal of Blake Town. His initials were the same, and for us it was more the second coming of John Corkill.

After two years of a reign of terror under the regime of the SS commander Bill Leach, the children began to relax and take it again the interest in their studies, to smile and laugh, and actually see time at the lessons . participate Never have been made forcibly to school in the morning creep, head down, fearing that the inevitable moment when they would be chosen to be beaten for no reason, in an ambush by the creeping, armed has ruler Gestapo officer, the breath to be mean and nasty, brown-teeth smile.

Corkill

Dickensian nightmare ended, but has brought a new life in the school. He was jovial rugged sort of chap came an active rugby referee, in the best traditions of Arnoldism, the children in their sports and games. He proved to be a most formidable opponent in the British Bulldog, a man defending an entire half of the field. He laughed when I called Taranaki” Bull” – the game was also known as bullrush

known.

Remember, British Bulldog? It has been since the days when children were in school after class for a long time and plays in the field of education to their own Olympics, FA Cup, Test Match Cricket-stage … and the Titanic, memorable All-kind, all-age struggles of the British Bulldog.

In these jokes, we have unwittingly supported the history and tradition.

Corkill

was robust, but not robots. He knew he was telling the children to communicate, was involved with 10 -. And 11 years to his students are involved, be alert and know things

We do not, because we felt we needed to learn something, but because we warmed to him, he liked, respected him and wanted him to show how much we enjoyed his presence and his steady stream of pleasant distractions. He was always dealing with new ideas: we have a newspaper class, we went down a coal mine, we have brought to our favorite class thing, not just talk, but to explain and defend in a robust debate at times. Seemingly mundane tasks into an opportunity to discuss the words, their meanings and origins.

John Corkill I started the other day when I read in the Canberra Times that some spark had the idea to come up with a robot to bring the school children on virtual tours of museums .

five nights a week, from Sunday to Thursday is my job, every word, read every line in every sentence in every story that appears in The Canberra Times . Some laugh a little, “make me think, I like some – like the picture story of Hannah, 10 year s, five years Wanniassa Hills Primary student who told a Canberra Time journalist last week, he has enjoyed NAPLAN tests because” is not the usual thing you do in class.”

Some stories make me sad. The words that I had read about the robot-class driving under the saddest thing I read in a very long time I read. How can you get the idea of ​​denying children the unbridled joy of a class trip?

In 1960, organized John Corkill with some of the parents in our class to Wellington to take to the National Museum, Parliament House and Alexander to visit Turnbull Library. This was an adventure at the highest level. It meant, in the early morning drive through the Southern Alps by rail car, an overnight ferry from Lyttelton to Wellington, and a day in our national capital, is shown the treasures our national heritage. This is the kind of experience that will last a lifetime.

We were not very interested in Phar Lap skeleton or the rich, deep leat her chairs of the political scene, or dusty, smelly old books in themselves. No much more important long-term as these memories is that the ability to create a lasting appreciation of history and tradition, I’m on record to say glad I never left.

I can not imagine for a moment, like a machine could do, and how gadgets and images on a monitor failed to convey that feeling to see and touch history and tradition in order to hear these things at the core of his being. Children find it funny for five minutes to get a robot to a national lead institution, but would not leave a lasting impression, though not perhaps a vague idea of ​​respecting the denial.

surely the CSIRO would be better spent focusing its efforts on climate change, or something else that our younger generations who spend $ 3.5 million, to build a robot that could deprive the will benefit a class trip to the National Museum and the chance to see our heritage first hand.

As for the museum to be involved in all the seems somehow to fit me unshakable sense that I feel when I visit the museum, I stumbled across a long abandoned set for 2001: A Space Odyssey , or that this is exactly the kind of place he had in mind when Kurt Vonnegut Billy Pilgrim has put in an exhibition in a zoo Tralfamadorian. If I were a modern John Corkill, I would take the children from third countries to Old Parliament, by hand, in person, and they something really remember.

the music that interested me the most is started in 1954 and in 1977, there were only three sports questions (on cricket, and also the two cricket tragics on our table too easy, right) and a typewriter related question, I felt almost useless ARTSOUND quiz last week. I think I answered that at most two or three questions, and be then decided to put the desperadoes desperate to prove. Nevertheless, with this albatross around the neck, the team of Peter Crossing still in fifth place.

Not that I let it ruin my weekend. The demand for music that interested me the next day brought me into contact with a man named Lenny Lipton.

Lipton lives in Los Angeles Laurel Canyon with his wife, three children, “the dog Snowy Wonderland, another dog, a cat, a fish and a bird of bad temper,” or so, he said.
