Media Watch

"There was a time, not so long ago, when running a media company - be it one that specialised in newspapers, in radio, in television, or in all three - was a pretty simple job.
Keep the costs within bounds, use your clout to ensure that governments didn't permit too much competition, make sure your content delivered audiences of a quality and in a quantity that your advertisers expected, and the money rolled in."
- Johnathon Holmes

Johnathon Homes speaks to Fairfax Media's CEO, Greg Hywood:


Some very interesting and quite profound words, I believe, were spoken by Hywood in this interview:
"Just because you're interested in celebrity...doesn't mean that you're not interested in what's happening in Libya, or...in the Japanese earthquake, or what's happening with economic policy out of Canberra. People can juggle a lot of balls"
