Is there a battle going on between between Editors in The Weekend Australian and the Australian Press Council?
If so, what is at stake for the media organisation? And, the democratic principles upon which Australian society is tenuously built? Where do our parliamentarians stand if there is a battle going on?
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.
