| − | == The Times ==
| |

| |
| − | Hi Steven
| |
| − |
| |
| − | So glad you're taking on The Times and Murdoch in this great article.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Just a couple of points:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I seem to recall that opposition to Murdoch taking over The Times centered on some law that prevents monopolies emerging in the media? or does this law only apply in the US? Here, an MP tried to get the Competition Commission involved in the question. Would there have been a law involved, or was it something softer like some kind of precedent situation on ownership of the media?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Good starting points on this are articles at
| |
| − | http://select.nytimes.com/2007/06/29/opinion/29krugman.html?_r=1
| |
| − | and
| |
| − | http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2007/may/25/rupertmurdoch.bskyb
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It's fine to quote articles like this to make the point for us. I think it's worth putting in a bit about this controversy.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also, I know it is obvious to us Spin people why media monopolies are bad, but I think it should be spelled out in a sentence or two for the public who may not be so familiar with the argument. One of the articles above makes the point, with people thinking rubbish things about the war on terror etc because they heard it on one of Murdoch's channels.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Another point--please do give complete refs rather than just urls, as they tend to go out of date quickly and then the reader has no way of finding our sources. Have a look at
| |
| − |
| |
| − | http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/SpinProfiles:A_Guide_to_Referencing
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Section: How to format referencing
| |
| − |
| |
| − | and do them like this. Can you redo the refs already in this article according to this format? If anything isn't clear in these "Help" pages pls let me know, as I want to make it easy to follow.

| |
| − | Many thanks!

| |
| − | Hi Steven
| |
| − |
| |
| − | just wanted to say well done on The Times and Murdoch. This is real public education and I think it's what SpinP should excel at (as well as providing material to journos of course).
