There are also fewer sub-editors — whose jobs have been outsourced to central hubs in both chains. The loss of?

And from the paper:

Four companies, all overseas owned, dominate the New Zealand news media.

I'm surprised they've not heard of TVNZ.

I've not read the report, but do they start by excluding publicly owned media and is this primarily focused on print? I don't know about others, but the media I consume is a broad mix of print, radio and online and equally a?

They have, clearly, but given that nearly the whole of the newspaper market is owned by APN and Fairfax, and nearly the whole of the radio market is owned by TRN (also part-owned by APN) and Mediaworks, and Mediaworks has a substantial chunk?

Is that a consequence of changes in the underlying business model and economic context across all broadcast media? If so, how are other nations responding to the same trend?

Or to put it succinctly, cartellisation.

The structural resistance to this in the TV industry is very significant. The whole business is territorial, and it sort of works.

This would be the same blog where Trevor Mallard did whatever the hell he does – not really holding my breath waiting for value adding media commentary from that quarter.

ETA: And should someone make the Herald print?

For a self described "New?

Works for who though? The media companies, perhaps. Aren't we seeing the regional thing break down with instant global online news alternatives and even TV entertainment programming being forced to reduce lag between territories?

Production companies too. For all the talk about "long tail" revenue, nobody sees much of yet. OTOH, even the pitiful sums available from onselling to some shithouse cable channel do actually constitute money. There are trade shows to do deals at, formats?

Ah, so does regionalisation create more opportunities than a more global market?

Please do ? and don?t misrepresent my comment. Frankly, if I had issues with Myllylahti there?s bugger all evidence around these parts that I wouldn?t say so up front. But equally frankly, I don?t find Red Alert (for the most part) an excessively useful source of?

Well, fine. You're most welcome to that opinion. What it's got to do with:

Roll on the Wall Street Gherao!

The 'Occupied Wall Street Journal' looks to be a brilliant thing. I'd love a copy. Going by the photo and quotes, it seems to have been carefully well crafted by sensible people who know what?

Harking back to the media?s cavalier attitude to science and corrections, Whatsupwiththat have a nice story on the Telegraph misplacing the North Pole?

Is it being distracted by others' flames, stopping us from kindling our own, or more looking at how they built their fire, to inform our search for kindling?

Or both?

Interesting perspective DCB. I mentioned fire as analogous to a civilization, the global blaze of sustenance, each nation huddled about its own?

we all end up knowing too much we don?t need to know, too much complexity, too much detail without corroboration ? and it overloads our filters and ability to act decisively.

I'm definitely feeling that Ian.

"Sorrow is knowledge,
those that know the most
must mourn the deepest,
the tree of knowledge
is not the tree of life." *

Mind you, a constant stream of factoids isnt anywhere 'knowledge'.....

Nice quote Islander – I guess the complementarity of 'Sorrow is knowledge' to Keats' 'Beauty is truth ...' is obvious, as well as its greater truthfulness perhaps? I?
