Friends of the ABC Central Coast Branch will be hosting a presentation by Dr Fiona Martin at the Central Coast Leagues Club on Friday, May 22.
The presentation is titled Why Fund Public Media in an Age of Digital Plenty?
“As more Australians consume their media online, conservatives argue that the economic case for funding the ABC and SBS has disappeared,” according to Friends of the ABC Central Coast.
“In this talk, Dr.Martin explores whether internet diversity spells the end for public service media, and what impact the national broadcasters’ foray into digital media services might have on media competition.”
