Name: Nicole Lyons Submission: A Diverse free media across many sources 70% owned by one private company.

This is in no way a balanced.

How would we expect 1 company to not have an agenda that will appease the share holders & be bipartial to Australain’s need for factual reporting of the news with out biases?
The agenda of privately owned company owning the narrative of out county by being the only source of “truth” we hear Reporting the “truth” based on the company line I really hope this commission will find us some common sense - freedom of information over commerce.

We could be a country that leads in this area.. well in saying that to be honest, right now, I don’t know if that is true as 70% of my “news” comes from one source.. so who can tell?!
Out publicly owned resources of independence (Eg ABC - paid by us) having reduced funding over and over & there stories & functions being controlled in what seems favour of “a” privately owned company, in which there main function is to control the narrative & sell us items we don’t need Media diversity in AustraliaSubmission 2666
