Development of the Study
The study was guided by a Steering Committee chaired by Professor Ken McKinnon, and including the Press Council secretariat, Inez Ryan, Policy Officer, Jack R Herman, Executive Secretary, and Deborah Kirkman, Office Manager. Industry survey organisations, particularly the Australian Bureau of Circulations and Roy Morgan Research have allowed the use of their data. Other data, such as the unique News Content Analysis, was generated and written up by academic affiliates, as noted below.
Jacqui Ewart (Griffith University) and Julie Posetti (University of Canberra) with the assistance of colleagues and students from Griffith University, developed and conducted the original research on news content analysis reported in the Mohamed Haneef analysis.
Collation and editing of the 2008 report was the responsibility of Inez Ryan.
Drafts of the document were subjected to subbing and detailed editorial scrutiny by members of the Steering Committee of the Council.
The Council is very grateful for the unpaid work of industry and academic colleagues and partners, especially for the enhanced access to industry information that their availability ensured.
The Press Council approves publication of the final document.
