All Queenslanders to suffer from ABC cuts
Andrea Carson writes in The Conversation (25.11.14) that ‘by cutting back in regional and remote areas – where media choices are already limited compared to those of city cousins and digital connections are often unreliable – the ABC risks sending a message that some parts of Australia are more important to our national conversations than others. The loss of local voices in diverse places by default suggests that what really matters is news and views from Australia’s largest east coast cities of Sydney and Melbourne.’
