Aussie business winners and losers - Business - NZ Herald News
Alan Joyce
The Qantas chief executive oversaw the descent of the airline's share price to a record low of A96.5c in December after he announced an expected A$300 million half-year loss and plans to drop 1000 workers in a bid to cut costs.
The shock announcement rounded out a string of job cuts at Qantas and a total grounding of the fleet in 2011, leading to a call for Joyce's resignation from federal MP Nick Xenophon.
Now compare a similar story in the Aussie press, no mention of Joyce..
Like Qantas, the OZ media has suffered so many cutbacks with staff, the quality of the business content produced (in my view) is suffering... other words, business reporting is very slow in picking up the message or too afraid to report it but the international press seem to be on it ..
In other words, AJ & Co have a pretty good time controlling the Oz media but forgets brand Qantas is "International."
Here in Asia, brand Qantas is suffering from a poor image in the media created by the management in OZ.. the OZ media only report when AJ arranges a press conference normally just rattling off the press release copy, sad...
