“For at least a couple of centuries the news media business was relatively simple. Journalists and editors produced content that people wanted to read and view, and distributed it thanks to privileged access to printing presses and broadcasting licences …”
“Print media is dying – at least, that’s the conventional wisdom. Circulation figures show sales of major Australian newspapers have been in consistent decline. And that’s a worldwide trend …”
“The interlocking themes of creativity and innovation are as important for me as they are for anyone engaged in the creative industries. Without great acts of innovation and the wonderful, creative sparks that ignite them, the world we inhabit would be a quite different, infinitely less exciting and productive place …”
“I started as a journalist just as hot metal printing was being banged out of publishing companies in the late 1970s – an era now referred to as the Golden Age of journalism. Over the ensuing 40 years, the world of journalism has largely been kind to me, but with all the good has been much bad …”
