NotW sparks online activism
Update: 2011-08-21
Description
Left in the wake of the NotW closure is a conversation about journalistic ethics and media ownership.
NewsStand is an online organising vehicle set-up in response to that discussion and they are calling for a full Parliamentary inquiry “to scrutinise the media landscape as a whole”.
Questions remain about how to maintain standards in a highly competitive environment and what kind of impact concentrated ownership has on the notion of a “free press”.
NewsStand admits they don’t have all the answers but values fairness and diversity and wants your help to transform the media.
I spoke with NewsStand board member and Professor at the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism, Wendy Bacon.
