WOLF CREEK 2 ALREADY MET WITH HOWLS OF DISDAIN: MIG CALDWELL
The complex diversity that the Australian landscape offers is often borrowed from by creative artists: allowing the environment to set the scene. None truer than the hit 2003 film, WOLF CREEK, which GREG MCLEAN based around true murders of recent history - so what good - asks SONYA HARTNETT, author and critic for a new analysis of WOLF CREEK by CURRENCY PRESS - will a sequel (due to shoot early next year) do?

MUM'S THE WORD - MIG CALDWELL
The online market has been proving a tough one to crack for all too long now, but it seems major media groups as FAIRFAX and NEWS LIMITED are potentially sitting on a goldmine with the move to tap into the hugely popular mother networking.
Referred to as "Mummy bloggers", stay-at-home mum's who may dabble at keeping a blog about their little bundles of joy are suddenly being approached by the major companies to endorse its product in a posting.

Bolt guilt; UN internet forum; News Corporation news; live music
The
landmark decision handed down by Federal Court judge, MORDY BROMBERG, found
controversial opinion writer, ANDREW BOLT, and his employer, The Herald and
Weekly Times, guilty of publishing discriminatory material, questioning the
validity of fair-skinned Aborigines in 2009.
CRAIG
LONGMAN spoke to one of the case’s applicants, DR MARK MCMILAN about his
reactions over the proceedings and eventual outcome, which questioned the
professionalism of Bolt as a journalist.
MIG
CALDWELL touched base with Australia’s only remote hub access to the sixth
annual, UNITED NATIONS INTERNET GOVERNANCE FORUM, in Nairobi, Kenya, via the live
stream enabled at Canberra’s Australian National University, which held a
coinciding four day conference.
This
was thanks to the efforts of MADELINE CARR: a pHd graduate in international
relations and the use of the internet at ANU, and she spoke about some of the
greater issues the forum addressed and the Australian presence.

MEDIA MISINFORMATION - MIG CALDWELL
STEPHAN
LEWANDOWSKY of the University of Western Australia has dedicated much of his
professional life examining the problems that arise from misinformation and
memory and how the public interpret inaccurate reports.
As he reports
in a piece recently published in The Conversation: "Warning: your

act of correction is usually ignored by memory recall.

Universal rights; cyber sexism; Crikey weighs in; industry acting up
This week, we examine the monumental passing of GENERAL COMMENT 31, within the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, as well as online sexism, government intervention within the media and why local actors are unlikely to call Australia home...

MIG CALDWELL spoke to Queensland University's NICOLAS CARRAH: a media lecturer who felt compelled to offer an opinion on the passing of GENERAL COMMENT 31 under ARTICLE 19 of the UNITED NATIONS' HUMAN RIGHTS declaration, including a policy for free speech within the online context of publication.
At a recent conference held for WIKIPEDIA, it was revealed that 90% of its users are male: an increase over the years. This divide creates
an imbalance on the site, with more male oriented topics discussed, and a
heavily masculine coverage of all information. ANNIE WYLIE investigates.
According to CRIKEY'S ERIC BEECHER, Government should help fund new media ventures, he says and that Senator
Bob Brown and the Greens should stop “posturing about the theory of media
diversity and do something about its practice.” as NATHAN COATES found out from speaking with him.
Local production is at an all-time low and the shift
towards reality-based TV series is leaving local actors little choice but to
pursue their dreams further afield.
Reporter TRACY ALEXANDER speaks to local actors about the limits to
AUSTRALIA’S entertainment industry and whether they can be overcome.

#2: FAIRFAX FOR SALE - DYLAN BARBER
STEVE AHERN offered his thoughts on the national network of Fairfax Radio, up for sale, after only three years. The general thought is the failure to effectively align the print and radio bodies (which include 3AW in Melbourne, 2UE in Sydney and 4BH in Brisbane).
And ANNIE WYLIE caught up with Sydney Uni's, DR. BRUCE ISAACS, a film studies expert one the culture of the experience that comes from going out to the movies and how the incorporation of 3, even 4 dimensional viewing options; swivelling chairs and other such technologies plays a part in the overall movie experience.

#1: GOOGLE PLAN TO DIGITISE BOOKS PUT ON THE SHELF - MIG CALDWELL
If you could put a value on every book published in the last hundred years, what would you see as a fair settlement?
Well, for search engine giant, Google: currently in negotiations with publishers and author groups the agreed figure was US$125 million to launch the digitised freeflow of information: GoogleBooks...But this settled amount was overruled by the Supreme Court, citing that further control of information would mean that Google would dictate a large proportion of the world's information flow.
#2: iVote, iFlop..? ELLIE SCHNEIDER
In the dawning of a new State government for New South Wales following the recent election, looked at the celebrated development introduced for the disabled or absentee voters - "the eVote" - which enabled an online ballot system for individuals to cast their vote without entering a traditional polling booth.
But there has been outcries from media commentators and others that dispute the compromised privacy rights that come from such a voting system.
Not only that, but we look into the argument that it's even possibly, a psychological ploy.

This week, the show was set to "global roaming" after a week of local media reports echoing that of a schoolyard tussle...from the ABC's shock homophobic tweet running across the Q and A screens recently, to the major networks battling it out for the rights to a quadrangle fight between two schoolboys that ultimately went viral.
So, in an effort to avoid this "Lord of the Flies" media mentality, and leaving NSW State politics to the real diehards, here's what we showcased:
#1: To print or not to print? Shevonne HuntA recent decision by German publication, Der Spiegel, to publish some graphic images depicting a "kill squad" posing alongside their dead victims was under fire in terms of the need to publish such horrifying images.
Like our own ABC, the US public broadcaster, NPR, is in danger of having funds cut, after a very public airing of opinions by NPR's management that were decidedly anti-Tea Party. With an alleged left-wing bias dogging the station for many years, this may be the final straw, if the Republicans have their way.
Closer to home, there have been calls - and subsequent debates - over whether a rating system should be applied to public billboards advertising, following calls to take down an outdoor ad promoting the event, Sexpo. Lobbyists believe that the self-regulatory code of standards is ineffective as it stands and doesn't serve in the interests of community standards
#4: Google not "feeling lucky" in China - Brit-Helen Johansen
Google is claiming that the Chinese government is blocking the Chinese people’s access to the Gmail service, believed to be part of a crackdown by the Chinese regime in response to online calls for a so called “Jasmine Revolution”.
