Status of Media reform, page-6

Reported 50 minutes ago in The Australian by Pat Griffiths and Paul Osborne.

Crossbench senator Nick Xenophon has struck a deal with the government to pass media law changes.
AAP understands the South Australian senator has been promised funding for cadet journalists and independent media in order to strengthen diversity and boost employment in the media sector.
One source estimated the deal at $30 million.
The deal comes despite Labor and the Greens ramping up pressure on NXT not to fold.
The sticking point for the legislation's passage has been the two-out-of-three media ownership measure, which Labor and the Greens oppose.
The government has already won the support of the four One Nation senators conditional on an investigation into the ABC and changes to be made to its charter.
