“Only a diverse media can work to provide citizens with the range of information and viewpoints necessary for a truly democratic society.”
“Commercial and proprietorial pressures, as well as political affiliations, can impact negatively on the quality of information made available to the public.”
Media Concentration: A Crisis of Democracy
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.
