Media law reform bid

THE heads of Australia’s major news organisations have banded together in an unprecedented call for action on media law reforms.

More than 25 media bosses descended on Canberra yesterday to meet with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull for a summit over the challenges facing the industry.

The heads of News Corp, Foxtel, Fairfax Media, the Nine Network, Seven West Media, Ten Network and more than a dozen other media organisations issued an urgent call for the senate to pass the government’s proposed media law reforms amid concerns about rising impact of multinational internet giants.
