AWW21 The Rise of Independent Media - Peter Fray, Margaret Simons and Michael West

With over half a million Australians joining Kevin Rudd’s call
for a Royal Commission into News Corp and the concentration of
media power in this country, Australians are increasingly turning
to other, more independent outlets for their news.
Editor-in-Chief of veteran online newsletter Crikey! Peter Fray,
independent journalist and media analyst Margaret Simons and
founder of michaelwest.com.au, business writer Michael West
discuss the rise of independent media and what we gain – and lose
– from the increased proliferation of new media.
