Funded Activity Summary

Handling the 'Battering Ram': Rupert Murdoch, News Corporation and the Global Contest for Dominance in Sports Television. The flow and control of culture through the media is of profound importance to all societies. Sport is a key component of Australian culture, and access to peak sports events is recognised in 'anti-siphoning legislation' preventing exclusive capture by pay TV. There is strong pressure to de-regulate Australian TV sport, especially from Australia's largest media organisation and most successful global media 'player', Newscorp and Rupert Murdoch. This Project's community benefit derives from its significant contribution to crucial debates about the power of nation states to control global media organisations, and by informing key considerations of cultural citizenship and media diversity.
