A few weeks ago, in a discussion on media ethics and the formation of fairness, well being and prosperity in Australian society, veteran Journalist Ray Cassin strongly emphasised that if you want to understand media in Australia you need to really understand the influence of the market.

Ross Gittins opens up this understanding in his article http://www.rossgittins.com/2014/02/drawing-line-between-market-and-social.html?m=1

The conversation needs to be opened right up…

About Bob Simpson

Bob is project manager of The Australian Media Engagement Project (AMEP). He believes that ethical and independent journalists are vital to the continuing freedom of Australian citizens. You could argue that In recent decades media organisations have subtly subverted journalism to their own private commercial interests, and away from an integrated sense of fairness, well being and shared prosperity in Australian society, especially for the disempowered. AMEP aims to change general media narratives towards greater fairness, well being and shared prosperity in Australia.
