One interesting and debatable news today is about Cricket Australia deciding to charge the media for distributing the pictures of its current series.
We have always heard of TV channels fighting for exclusive broadcasting rights to telecast cricket matches, bidding huge amounts of money against one another. So this announcement seems like something that was bound to happen and so you wonder what’s the big deal anyway. On the other hand, yes this will cripple free and fair media reporting and money, not journalistic skill, will decide who gets to report what.
What’s your take?

Why not?
When celeberities can hock their very personal events like their marriage,divorce etc., as exclusive rights to magazines, is there anything wrong in a content developer, in this case, CA who is staging an event asking for money?
