Before newspapers were ravaged by the digital age, they were a powerful force.
This magisterial book reveals who owned Australia's newspapers and how they used
them to wield political power. A corporate and political history of Australian
newspapers spanning 140 years, it explains how Australia's media system came to
be dominated by a handful of empires and powerful family dynasties. The book
begins in 1803 with Australia's first newspaper owner-a convict who became a
wealthy bank owner. Throughout the 20th century, Australians were unaware that
they were reading newspapers owned by failed land boomers, powerful mining
magnates, gangsters, bankers, and corporate titans.
