The biggest player controlling 23% of the market honestly sounds reasonable. It's worrying if someone controls 80% of the media. Any idea what Murdoch's market

The biggest player controlling 23% of the market honestly sounds reasonable. It's worrying if someone controls 80% of the media.
Any idea what Murdoch's market share is by readership, rather than by total number of titles?
- makomk 7y agoAccording to that, "News Corp Australia has nearly three-quarters of daily metropolitan newspaper circulation and so maintains great influence in Australia."

- angry_octet 7y agoI think cable is really a zombie now, Netflix and every other streaming service is destroying them. And as a consequence of that, I think that the libs were able to do uncle Rupert a favour and cut away the cross media rules (completely ignoring the fact that IP streaming of entertainment isn't local news / news), but I could be wrong. Just waiting for Netflix or someone to buy the cricket and footy and crush channel 9 and foxtel.
