While his petition already has over 220,000 signatures, it doesn't answer some of the pressing questions: How big is the media ownership problem in this country, and is it even fixable?


Crystal explains the petition, the commission, and the laws, and the only outcome that seems likely...


IN THIS EPISODE:

  • What the petition asks for
  • Why media ownership concentration is a problem
  • Explaining the reach and dominance of News Corp and Nine Entertainment Co
  • Why we ditched the laws that could have stopped it
  • The digital platforms inquiry
  • Crystal's prediction of a digital-focused outcome
