Welcome to the latest Unmade podcast. Today's edition features another extract from the audio edition of my book, Media Unmade, which is published by Hardie Grant and available online and in book stores.In today's chapter, I explore the aftermath of the merger between Nine and Fairfax Media.The biggest loose end to tie up was what to to with the community newspapers division. Some of the country's most celebrated regional newspapers - the likes of The Canberra Times, The Newcastle Herald, Illawarra Mercury and Bendigo Advertiser - were about to get a new owner. It was an opportunity for Antony Catalano and business partner Alex Waislitz to pick up a bargain.And the duo had bigger ambitions for Australian Community Media - they wanted to be in television too. They made a move that scuppered Seven West Media's plans to take control of Prime through a cash-free, share-based merger.Nine had other things on its mind - taking full control of Macquarie Media, owner of Melbourne's 3AW and Sydney's 2GB, the home of controversial breakfast host Alan Jones. For Nine, it was also time to bring Karl Stefanovic home to Today, while CEO Hugh Marks was about to make an imperfect exit.If you enjoy hearing the podcast, please do give it a five star rating on whichever podcasting app you use. That helps other people find it, and gives me some much needed validation.Audio production on Media Unmade comes courtesy of Abe's Audio, the people to talk to about voiceovers and sound design for corporate videos, digital content, commercials and podcasts.As ever, I welcome your thoughts to letters@unmade.media.Toodlepip…Tim BurrowesUnmade This is a public episode.

Havas Media Group chair and founding CEO Mike Wilson will stand down at the end of the month. The team discusses what his departure means for the agency group, and whether it will impact future integration for Havas with its parent company, French entertainment giant, Vivendi.Weber Shandwick and Jack Morton Australia confirmed to Mumbrella this week that group managing director Helen Graney bought a majority stake in both agencies earlier this year. So why did the deal go under the radar, and what conclusions can we draw from this and other agency sell-offs by IPG both in Australia and across the Asia Pacific region?Google and Facebook have each unveiled new initiatives to support Australian news journalism. Google will team up with News Corp to create the Digital News Academy, which they say will provide digital skills training and new opportunities for young journalists. Meanwhile, Facebook launched its $15 million news fund and the expansion of its Facebook News product to Australia. The team wonders whether Google and Facebook are really the savours of news journalism, amid smaller publishers still struggling to strike deals under the News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code.Plus, Nine Radio managing director Tom Malone joins Zanda Wilson to reflect back on 18 months or so since Nine took over control of Macquarie Media. Malone speaks about recent radio ratings and why Ben Fordham's commercial appeal is more important than his ratings.

With the Ashes just around the corner, Mark and Erin catch up with cricketing legend and Macquarie Media commentator, Ian Chappell. 

Podcasting isn’t merely a matter of uploading audio content and then waiting for crowds to tune in. An amplification strategy is at least as important as the story you wish to tell. Fundamentally, a podcast should tie-in with your overall business goals. Those are the lessons Andrew Sidwell offers from his current role as National Content Solutions Manager at Macquarie Media.  Macquarie has produced several branded podcasts, including Decoding Genius for GE and The Road Next Travelled for Colonial First State. Andrew provides his thoughts on why podcasting is an attractive medium for companies to engage effectively with audiences. Presented by Nick Schildberger and Chris Ashmore.

Since Thomas Edison's invention of the incandescent light, GE has always been a trailblazer of innovation. To amplify its vision of being the world's digital industrial leader, it has embraced new platforms like podcasting to spread the message. That's according to Joanne Woo, VP Communications, GE Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Decoding Genius is GE's branded 6-episode podcast which explores the lives of six young geniuses in Australia and around the world. Joanne Woo discusses the success of the GE-branded podcast, produced by Macquarie Media for Fairfax's agency, Made for Fairfax. It's one of the most successful branded podcasts in Australia, landing a top-10 ranking on Apple Podcasts for the duration of the six episodes. Joanne says brands need to have an audio strategy to engage with audiences on a deeper and more intimate level. A thirty-second video on the stories of these young inventors would not do justice to the topic; but, a podcast is an ideal platform to delve deeper into the conversation. She sees audio experiencing significant growth as a platform.
