In recent years there have been seemingly endless conversations about the media, the press, fake news and free speech. I spoke with then CEO of the Australian Associated Press Emma Cowdroy last year about what the AAP is and what its purpose is. We also spoke about the changing media landscape and how to empower our children to know the difference between trustworthy and fake news.  Hosted on Acast.

Better Make it Quick: Emma Cowdroy

Lenore Taylor

 We hear from our expert panel on some of the power imbalances arising from high levels of media concentration in Australia and how that power is used by the biggest media players. For example, we discussed the use of influence to assert specific agendas in relation to climate change as well as other threats to healthy democratic debate. We also discussed the need for greater support for objective and factual news reporting and looked at potential ways to address media concentration such as more transparency around media ownership, an independent media authority and continuing to increase competition within the media market. We also heard that better policy outcomes to address media concentration and other issues may be achieved through increasing the numbers of smart, well-meaning independents in the balance of power positions in parliament because such representatives are likely to be less beholden to and less fearful of media backlash to sensible policy proposals. With TV and Radio host James Mathison, Guardian Australia Editor Lenore Taylor, AAP Newswire CEO Emma Cowdroy and Associate Professor, University of Sydney Benedetta Brevini.

Media Concentration: A Threat to Democracy? (Lenore Taylor, Emma Cowdroy, Benedetta Brevini)

Emma Cowdroy is the CEO of the Australian Associated Press.There’s been a lot to say about media diversity in Australia, and in the light of Facebook banning news for a few days there in February - we were all held to the light of what the world looks like when there’s only one or two lenses to look through.Media diversity is so vitally important - and the Australian Associated Press is a massive part of that.If you can’t see it, you don’t know about it.And the AAP has been a part of making sure those stories are being told right across the news cycle for years now.It’s so vitally important that power is held to account.And independent journalism, independent photojournalism has never ever been more important.
