Keep it all going Kevin
I appreciate all of the work
Thank you
Yes, history will remember Rudd for his genuine imput.
👊🔥✌✌🔥👊
Appreciate you sharing this, was incredibly insighful to listen to some of the possible initiatives that could be put forward to balance the landscape! We should have more of these 3 fellows embedded in this discussion!
Definitely Michael West!
Please keep it up Kev!!
It is a bit sad, as a 5th generation Australian with a research background I had already turned away from Australian media as being too biased. I now get most of my international media from India! This inquiry is much needed. I have seen in my local gym (in a poorer area of Perth) people becoming conspiracy theorists more than ever.
42:00 Any *Code Of Ethics* applied to newspapers or magazines must be *COMPULSORY* with *SEVERE PENALTIES* for *ALL BREACHES!*
Keep it up Kevin!
Keep speaking up Kevin.
One issue which is not addressed is foreign ownership. Without foreign ownership limitations it is difficult to hold individuals account for what newspapers report by the general public.
57:00 *Creative Commons* is the principle whereby media content(print, audio and video) is made available royalty-free to small outlets, provided that the content is not altered or edited in any way, and the original source is acknowledged and credited.
Keep up the good fight Kevin.
Australia is behind you. Just not everyone knows your doing this though!
Maybe put an add on channel 9 for your web site or boo tube channel. Lol. ✊🏽✊✊🏻✊🏿
We are backing you Kev, keep up the solid work.
Great suggestions here for improving Journalism.
Misinformation needs to be penalised. Which should be reflected in an Australian wide rating system like our health food rating. Consumers of media should have the same rights they have for any other product they have purchased. So if a consumer buys newspapers, subscriptions (digital as well as print), cable TV subscriptions etc then those products should be held to the same standards. I don't think forcing media to print an apology is enough. Firstly the apology probably won't trickle down to radio, social media and clickbait where the average consumer would get most exposure. Secondly the apology won't remove the smear of the original misinformation, the damage remains.
I keep saying this but there should be consumer warnings before any "opinion" story (print, radio and TV) that "the following is an opinion story and the information contained may not be accurate or true". We have warnings on cigarette packaging, warnings before movies. Misinformation in media is also bad for our health. Because of the fortune that can be made from fear mongering and agitating the masses. Notable was (and to some extent still is) the competition between Fox News and Newsmax in The US during the disgusting abuse and manipulation of Republican viewers over recent election. People are just cash cows to these media giants and let's face it, the general population are lazy, don't read newspapers anymore and usually are susceptible to algorithm driven clickbait, TH-cam and memes on Web and smart devices.
2:37 My first comment just got scuttled when I learned just now that Bruce Guthrie *HAS* been touched by the *filthy finger* of Murdoch!
If papers did 3 week investigations instead of celeb nonsense, I'd likely read them.
Sky News listeners couldn't absorb this nor would they bother.......they don't know where the battlefield is.
They are far too busy watching reports on the recent Royal family death to do anything else!
Well, these three are *genuine* journalists, having not been *tainted* by any association with the *PRINCE OF PUTRID,* Rupert Murdoch.
Imflammatory statement
@@Sposchy I don't give a damn what you think. Murdoch is *INDEED* the *PRINCE OF PUTRID!*
I like the idea of have a lot of smaller publications but that doesn't stop the issue of echo chambers as most people couldn't afford to pay for a wide range of various news sources. I could see a case for a platform that unbiasly aggregates news from all the smaller independent journalists and puts in under one subscription.
Advantage: news of a wide range under one roof.
Issues. need to make sure of no bias.
Journalist from all sides are included and all stores are show and not supresed on the site.
Could even see this platform being provided under the abc.
Interested in others opinions
Yes! No trust in public journalism in Australia.
I been laced to forget every time the paparazzi been around me causing me awful repercussions.
Thanks Kevin.
Yeah, ABC, should absolutely, give smaller publishers a voice. Considering we the tax payer support them. ABC, JJJ, and HACK also have been spilling absolute garbage and ticking boxes to justify their educational guidelines and sustain their funding.
Diversity, Truth Onbundsmen, Early education in principles of journalism, Transparency of funded Newes Companies.
This has me so pumped about the Truth and Integrity of information.

I think that in an of itself, lack of diversity, or monopolies, aren't intrinsically a bad thing.
If an entity, occupying a position of monopoly, was operating in a fair, reasonable, morally sound and ethical manner, there would be little question raised about it's position.
The problem arises when 'bad actors' are at the helm of these monopolies.
This enquiry, has very successfully highlighted the dark side of monopolistic practices.
While we are arguing that the lack of diversity of ownership is the cause of current problems, we should be aware that diversity isn't necessarily the golden bullet solution.
For example: if we had a dozen major players in the media landscape, if their business and political practises all were in alignment with Murdoch (for instance) then we would in fact be in a far worse position.
Hopefully, in the not distant future, some effort will be afforded to addressing and rectifying the abuse of power and disgraceful behaviour that has been exhibited by News Corp.
I'm really not sure that this enquiry is in the position to act in this way - but - it may be able to raise further actions outside it's scope.
Have Michael West on!
This is a waste of time while Morrison is in power
Change has an ice cubes chance in hell of happening while Scomo and Murdoch keep up their bromance!
how come you don't mention how FOXTEL is embedded with the ABC though ?
Do we want to end up as the USA?
No, no one who follows world news wants to be like the USA, they are a truly fucked country.
25:56 There you go, thatl do. Shut it down.
Perhaps you were expecting some sort of clarity, to reveal unspeakable secrets that had eluded you. That something new would widen your views of events, to shock you to your core. There is no great revelation, no great conspiracy. It was always right in front of you.
Clearly all these recommendations going over the Chairthing's head
Chairperson's....it not difficult.
And the ABC has apologised for doctoring video to make Australia's defence force look bad. So why aren't they in these " inquires"???
Huh!
@@beesplaining1882 the video of the "dancing" at the defence force boat launch was doctored by the ABC. They made it look like they were dancing in front of people they weren't.
@@paulsnow1289 wow, that's serious. The twerking launch video! Never mind. Murdoch media will make it better!
@@beesplaining1882 did they doctor the video too?
Rennick has tiny hands
12:00 Peter Fray makes the same mistake as Bruce Guthrie. It's *A - C - M - A!* Not "ackmah"!
7:10 Not "Ackmah!" it's *A - C - M - A!* It's an *ACRONYM,* not a word!
You need to learn the definition of the word acronym. Laser is an acronym. Scuba is an acronym. Acma is an acronym. A.C.M.A. is known as 'capitalisation'.
@@suor2301 An *acronym* is an organisation's or corporation's name reduced to inititials. Instead of *Electric & Musical Industries,* the name is reduced to *E - M - I.* But you don't call it "Emmy!" ACMA stands for Australian Communications & Media Authority, A - C - M - A, Calling it "ackmah" is *infantile* in the extreme.
@@neilforbes416 Definition of acronym: a word (such as NATO, radar, or laser) formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term.
My mistake. Not Capitalisation, but Initialism. What you are talking about is Initialism.
@@suor2301 Acronyms are *NOT* meant to be read as words. They are intended to be read as individual letters to represent the words in the corporation or organisation's name. Only infants learning to read would make them into words. Adults should know better.
@@neilforbes416 I confess that I am somewhat baffled by that response. Would you really pronounce laser as l-a-s-e-r, or Nato as N-A-T-O or scuba as S-c-u-b-a or AIDS as A-i-d-s, or radar as r-a-d-a-r? Those are all acronyms, by any definition. There is some debate as to whether abbreviations such as FBI and IBM are technically an acronyms. As I alluded to earlier, some would call that 'initialisation'. Take the letters I.R.A. If the Irish Republican Army referred to itself as Ira, that undoubtedly would be an acronym. But with the initials only being used, there are some who would define the term as 'initialisation', where each letter is pronounced separately. Others, however, would argue that both forms, Ira and I.R.A, are acronyms. I can accept that some choose to spell out the letters A-C-M-A, but if those who are actually in the media and communications profession are inclined to pronounce it as one word, then it is difficult to argue that they are wrong. Incidentally, the Spanish separatist/terrorist group, ETA, is usually pronounced Etta.
Crikey, Crikey isn't the answer. But those other two had very valuable inputs. As did Senator Carr. We cannot have a future where public interest journalism is behind a paywall.
