Talk:Media ownership in Australia

This article was nominated for merging with Media of Australia on January 19, 2016. The result of the discussion was merger proposal withdrawn by proposer.

Copyvio

I reverted a large copy/paste job that added content from http://www.aba.gov.au/newspubs/radio_TV/documents_research/CommercialTV.pdf which on page 2 reads: "This work is copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purpose of private study, research, criticism or review, as permitted under the Copyright Act 1968, no part may be reproduced or transmitted, in any form or by any means or process, without the written permission of the publisher."

The Canberra Times is no longer independent - has not been for several years. I think that the West Australia recently lost independence as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.165.56.34 (talk) 11:21, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article is out of date and changes to media ownership laws were made in 2006 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.50.143.22 (talk) 06:14, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Major changes

made a few major changes to this page today. I've also added some info about ABC and SBS since they are of course government-owned media providers in Australia and are therefore directly relevant to this article - please expand! Cheers, --Amaher (talk) 06:46, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

merge with Media of Australia?

I propose we merge this page with the Media of Australia page - it can all be incorporated there. Thoughts?--Amaher (talk) 01:10, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, according to Wikipedia:

“Create a place for discussion. Go to the Talk Page (also known as the discussion page) of the TARGET ARTICLE (the one you want to merge to) and create a section (eg: "Merger proposal") to discuss the merger.”

So, I will take it upon myself to propose a merger between this article & the other one on that page's talk page. 76.235.248.47 (talk) 12:15, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I've changed my mind & withdrawn the merger proposal. If anything, none of the "Media in ..." articles make ANY mention of the various media companies within those countries. So, rather than a merger proposal, I'm simply going to re-direct this article to Media in Australia. 76.235.248.47 (talk) 12:44, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
