	Media proprietor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A media proprietor is a person who controls, either through personal ownership or a dominant position in a public company, a significant part of the mass media.
		Media proprietors are commonly called "media moguls", "tycoons", "barons", or "bosses".
		Media proprietors are frequently accused of using their positions to further political agendas, and some of them have in fact done so.

	MEDIA LENS ALERT: CENTRES OF POWER - George Monbiot Queries Media Lens - Part 1
		The problem is that this "liberal media" also provides reporting and commentary based on a framework of assumptions shaped by the needs and goals of the same system of power.
		Coincidentally, we are currently preparing a Guest Media Alert by Matthew Randall comparing the performance of the Telegraph with the Guardian in their reporting on asylum and immigration issues.
		The lethal result is that there is minimal mainstream media opposition to even truly historic state-corporate abuses of power, and certainly not enough to generate the kind of mass public awareness and outrage required to challenge and end these abuses.

	Dumbing down the media - On Line Opinion - 25/10/2005
		The media is dumbing down as owners, editors, producers and journalists respond to what they perceive - perhaps correctly - to be the desires of their audiences.
		The result is a media obsession with celebrity, fame, trivia and lifestyles, to the point where many in the so-called “quality media” now believe they cannot attract a broad constituency without large dollops of celebrity gossip and soft lifestyle coverage.
		The classic model of the privately run media empire - the Hearst/Beaverbrook/Northcliffe/Murdoch model - is rapidly being replaced by the media conglomerate model, an edifice which is not based on the political power of an individual and his newspapers, but on the economic power of a technologically and geographically diverse public corporation.

		Separating regulation of the media from other goods and services often leads to the very outcome that the cross-media laws are meant to prevent ø the undue influence on information, and ultimately public opinion, that a heavy concentration of media ownership is supposed to create.
		The foreign proprietor is more likely to be apolitical and sensitive to domestic culture than a domestic proprietor simply because there is no reason for them to have a political agenda unless they are a branch of a foreign government.
		Perhaps critics of the global media corporation are those involved in the domestic industry who believe their domain is threatened by the foreign entrant.

	Media Man Australia - The Online Home of Greg Tingle - Journalist and TV Presenter
		The greatest influence on the media is not the media owners, nor ratings or circulation, said Professor David Flint, Chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Authority today.
		The structure of the Australian news media industry and the nature of the markets lend themselves to syndication of news and current affairs, and this is readily apparent across all major media.
		Three-quarters of Australians believe the media cover local news and current affairs less adequately than they could and attribute inadequate coverage of local events and issues to a general lack of community and media interest in local matters.

		Media Watch (2004) reported that an FPC Courier-owned newspaper offered candidates in a local government election guaranteed editorial column space, to be personally written by those candidates, in return for the purchase of advertising.
		Undue influence of the media and politicians over the other’s field of endeavour; the perpetuation of elite power structures; a perversion of government and media processes; and collusion between politicians and the media in policy making particularly on media are serious problems (see Blumler and Gurevitch 1995).

		Current media policy regarding rural and regional community broadcasting favours a competitive environment, which constrains the potential for community radio to meet its founding principles.
		In parallel, media coverage of the 2000 Olympics (and Australia) is being monitored in the countries being studied.

	George Jonas \| In addressing "media ownership," regulators focus on that which matters least
		I certainly have a dim view of government interference in the media -- the best bureaucrats scare me more than the worst proprietors -- and also agree that regulations about cross-ownership or foreign ownership are attempts to push buttons that are connected to nothing.
		Proprietors matter all right, but what matters about them is their character, their intelligence, their erudition, and their business acumen.
		A proprietor's suitability is almost totally independent from his or her gender, religion, ethnicity, and so on.

		And some facts are needed when discussing the media at a time when the Senate is considering the Federal Government's proposal to relax foreign and cross-ownership rules.
		Beecher suggested that one of the major issues facing the Australian media industry was that Fairfax was being adversely affected by being owned by financial institutions, without a "media-inculcated proprietor" to look after its interests.
		The Fairfax story, where a "media-inculcated proprietor" lost control of an empire, was not an uncommon one over recent decades - and in the case of Fairfax, the outcome has been a positive one.

		The Broadcasting Services Amendment (Media Ownership) Bill 2002 was seen through the House of Representatives by the Liberal/National majority in October 2002, but has stalled in the Senate as the Democrats joined the Greens and Labor in opposing any further removal of restrictions on foreign and cross-ownership of television, radio and newspapers.
		Currently a media proprietor may not be in a position to control more than one of either television channels, radio stations or newspapers in a city or region.
		Maybe media is just another business, like making weapons, but maybe it has such an important role to play in a society that it must be kept beyond the reach of such TNC conglomerates.

		The preservation of media diversity in the public interest also intersects with other policy considerations such as the level of foreign ownership and the potential for anti-competitive behaviour arising from concentrations of ownership in any industry.
		Although diversity and concentration in the media are still issues in those countries, the trend appears to allow more integration of the various forms of the media.
		The current threshold limits on foreign investment in the print media were established by the former Labor Government in April 1993, in response to the application by the Canadian media magnate Conrad Black for a controlling interest in the Fairfax newspaper group.

		Once they were anonymous, unknown, and now they're very well known and it is the journalists consulting and considering the opinions of other journalists, their own mind-sets who determine what is to appear in the news and how it is to be presented.
		But that is, it seems, a concern of journalists and perhaps some executives rather than the intervention of the media proprietor himself or herself.
		The trouble is, of course, that we don't have that many media proprietors.

		The Broadcasting Services Amendment (Media Ownership) Bill 2002 has some very substantial reforms in it, and in itself it deserves to be supported with the amendments that I and other Senators have moved.
		The answer is simple: the major challenge is by the major media moguls and their being able to capture the television market and the newspaper market.
		Whether the major media moguls being able, under the bill, to buy the major newspapers, particularly in capital cities - and radio stations, as far as that is concerned - is in the public interest is a matter for prudential consideration.
