Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Context Phase
Dr. Julien Mercille:
What I am saying is that with a less commercial, profit-driven political economy of an organisation, one would expect viewpoints that are less in line with, say, the corporate communities. There are other factors that could cancel or reinforce that. It is a bit of a picky dynamic. A clear opposition in two systems in the form of alternative media versus normal mass media would ensure different views.
On the Deputy's other question of trust or non-trust ownership, the differences are smaller.
