@clothedvillainy I may be unique among media owners that both in my time as an owner of Mumbrella and now Unmade I’ve given them more money than the other way round

In which I find myself arguing on the side of a tax intervention

[Crikey @crikey_news]

Media companies are struggling, but should taxpayers bail out journalism?

In today’s Friday Fight, @UnmadeAU owner @timburrowes argues yes: https://t.co/bMMD0Tjn99

While professor of economics @chrisberg argues no: https://t.co/ASgjVYK7Mb

This is the media read of the day

[Tim Burrowes - Unmade @timburrowes]

@NeilMcMahon @JamesCridland You’re absolutely right - if memory serves, just three weeks of ten in the last survey, and eight out of ten this time around. So it’s a reasonable scorecard of where they are now.
My hunch is they’ll find a tribe in Melbourne just as they did in Sydney but will take time

[Tim Burrowes - Unmade @timburrowes]

@NeilMcMahon I think that’s my main point on personality - they haven’t got to win over most people, just be the biggest / most listened to personalities by 10 or 11% of the audience

[Tim Burrowes - Unmade @timburrowes]

@NeilMcMahon It’s early days: this trip, 94.1% of the average audience chose something else. I’d be surprised if that number gets higher. They haven’t got to win 100% - they’ve just got to be distinctive enough to get it down to (only!) 89% choosing something else to be no 1. They’ve got time

One for media nerds: If you're looking for a great summary of the annual Uni of Canberra Digital News Report @timburrowes is well worth a read (note: paywall) https://t.co/Y6tSkO9TXL

@haravayin_hogh I’m curious whether you think fish traps were still used?

[Tim Burrowes - Unmade @timburrowes]

@NancyGeorges @UnmadeAU Correct - survey covers ten weeks; they were on air for only the last three of them

From me: The worst people in the world are making the most desperate hand over their data. What could possibly go wrong? https://t.co/IYInwbG57e

@andrewpascoe Thanks for the nudge https://t.co/IYInwbG57e

@MarkDiStef Am I being cynical to suspect this is a deliberate attempt to generate some Windows 95 style infamy? https://t.co/tyBUBZOAGP
