Fabian Society Event: A More Diverse Media: Can the Club Be Busted?

A More Diverse Media: Can the Club Be Busted?
Event date: 21 September 2005
Location: Theatrette at NSW Parliament House
Time: 6pm to 7:30pm

As the Howard Government prepares to overhaul Labor's cross media laws we ask what needs to be done to open up Australia's small media club to more players and a greater diversity of voices and points of view?

Our speakers will consider what the new reforms may mean, and how to genuinely invigorate an homogenised and concentrated media.

With:

Mark Scott - Editor, Sydney Morning Herald

Julianne Schultz - Editor Griffith Review and ex-ABC digital strategy

Andy Nehl - TV Producer (Chaser Decides & CNNNN) and Head of TV, AFTRS
Chaired by Branch Committee Member Tony Moore. 7pm to 7:30pm in the Theatrette at NSW Parliament House.

Should be interesting - especially given this hairy little court case that's currently playing itself out (I use the term `little' advisedly) which could potentially be a fly in the ointment for the government's cross media ownership plans.
