I would just like to offer a few words on the subject of Cash For Comment. The rules which apply to the big name radio stars have improved levels of confidence in commercial radio and TV. But for some reason, the rules do not seem to cover the interests of media proprietors.
For instance, if a young kid straight out of Max Rowley school gets a job in Broken Hill, and he hosts trivia at the local RSL, he has to declare it. But not so with newspaper proprietors. The Daily Telegraph run many articles criticising commercial TV sporting coverage. They never declare the relevant fact that they part- own Foxtel. Once the Telegraph ran a 2 page article on actress Anna Torv, who was guest starring in McLeod's Daughters. They never mentioned the fact that she was Rupert Murdoch's niece. Just a thought.
