Centre for Media Transition newsletter | Issue 18/2025

Greetings from us here at the CMT. In our newsletter this week: 

  • DIGI, the tech industry lobby group behind the 2021 Australian Code of Practice on Disinformation and Misinformation, is considering giving up on policing misinformation because it says the practice is subjective and linked to people’s beliefs and value systems. Michael investigates. 
  • China is set to give up on Tik Tok in the United States, under threat of closure. 
  • Kerry Stokes is stepping back too – from Seven West Media, which he proposes selling to Southern Cross Austereo. Derek takes a look at what this means for media diversity.
