Media: Old players may continue to rule but content will be king

Newspapers, radio and television will be there, but they'll be different and the companies that have long delivered their content might be gone. The Australian media a couple of years from now will be even more focused on fulfilling people's desires for content any time, anywhere.
Excluding live sports, the trend for on-demand content will intensify. But there will be a consumer impost, whether it's privacy, subscriptions or one-off costs, or inescapable ads.
Media ownership laws might be changed, leading to mergers and takeovers involving big old companies such as Nine and Fairfax.

And as the splash surrounding this week's announcement demonstrates - Rupert Murdoch has promoted his sons Lachlan and James; Lachlan is now viewed as the likely successor - News Corp will continue to be a big player.
Foreign companies Google and Facebook might need to pay more tax. And depending on political will and the strength of private media businesses, the ABC might be more influential.
Former competition tsar Graeme Samuel said the internet had made content king and ''he who has control of the king can demand subscriptions and dollars''.
In a sign of where Lachlan Murdoch sees the future, he has been talking more like a Silicon Valley technology entrepeneur than an old-fashioned print baron. On being promoted to co-chairman this week, he boasted that News Corp had ''the energy and sensibility of a start-up''.
But that future is also under the microscope, as it often is, under a still-new government. After a fractious relationship with former communications minister Stephen Conroy, media companies are heartened that his successor, Malcolm Turnbull, has made positive noises about relaxing Australia's media laws.

Cyber-bullying: Industry against proposals to regulate social media networks
ABC Anastasia Asarloglou is one of the thousands of Australian children who have experienced bullying online.
As many as one in three Australian children has experienced some form of cyber-bullying, yet the system to control bad behaviour on social media networks is voluntary, with the industry largely self-regulated.
The Federal Government has released a discussion paper proposing a number of changes to help make children safer online, but critics of the proposal say another layer of bureaucracy is not the answer.
Cristina Asarloglou sobs as she talks about her daughter Anastasia, who is among the thousands of Australian children who have experienced bullying online.
"She said to me that she didn't want to live anymore and I couldn't believe a child at eight years old could say that she didn't want to live anymore," Ms Asarloglou said.
"Bullying has always existed, but now with online bullying it just intensifies it.
"Anything to help kids that are being affected by this is something because I believe it is an epidemic."
For some children the relentless bullying becomes too much. Chloe Fergusson took her own life six months ago at the age of 15.
Her sister Cassie Whitehill is calling for tougher bullying laws and enforceable take down orders, and has set up a website promoting what she calls "Chloe's law".
"If we can just save one young person from taking their own life or being affected by bullying then we've achieved our goal," she said.

Chinese journalists say they are being ''locked out'' of AMSA media briefings

Chinese journalists covering the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 from Canberra are furious at what they see as Australian government control of the media.
On Sunday, two Chinese crews decided to chase Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss into a car park at the Australian Maritime Safety Authority after being denied access to an AMSA briefing attended by Australian media.
The crews held an impromptu interview with Mr Truss but have complained at being ''locked out'' of any chance to put questions to AMSA boss John Young. On Monday, AMSA posted a security guard at the front of its headquarters.
George Yang, the chief correspondent for Hong Kong's Phoenix Satellite Television, said he had been asked to prove his credentials while he prepared to do a cross from public land. ''This wouldn't even happen in China,'' Yang said.

''It's been very frustrating, there seems to be a Chinese media blackout. It is unbelievable that this is happening in Australia. There are relatives in China who are devastated and looking for answers.''
In a statement, AMSA said the security guard had been posted ''to prevent media vehicles from blocking access to the building and to prevent unauthorised access.
''AMSA rejects any claims that we are treating members of the Chinese media any differently to others. Yesterday's media event was a pool arrangement organised in conjunction with the federal press gallery committee to allow access to the Rescue Coordination Centre whilst minimising disruption to the operations.
''Chinese media requested to join the pool but the request was declined by AMSA and they were advised to contact the press gallery committee to arrange access to the pool content, which was also made available on our website.''
