"Now, News Corp reports that Sydney siege survivor Marcia Mikhael has been signed by Channel Seven for $400,000, while John O'Brien will get $100,000. Fairfax Media, however, is reliably informed by multiple sources that the real amounts are substantially lower.

Meanwhile, rival Nine is rumoured to have signed four Lindt cafe workers – Fiona Ma, Harriette Denny, Joel Herat and Jarrod Morton Hoffman – for a combined $1 million, though Fairfax Media understands this figure is also wide of the mark. "

I will not be watching it given that two hostages died I find it morally reprehensible that people are making money out of it and TV station are after ratings on the back of people losing their lives

Surely the made enough capital from it while it was happening and the ensuing days as there was nothing else in the print or TV Media for days

Welcome to media, what do you think "for profit" television is?

I am not really into politics or media controversy..

but these people are getting paid for what exactly ?

I want to taken as a hostage next time. Sounds like fun experience and easy way to fame and riches.

interview. people get paid for their interview so the tv channels get more viewers = more ad money.

same spiel with schappelle corby.

What I don't get is both channels putting their Lindt Siege interviews on at the same time, at the same night. Like really?!

They do that with everything...

tbh its not good for either channel and their ratings.

Same reason why shops similar to each other set up next to each other. Basic game theory.

6 figures is nothing to a major news channel.

Channel 7's ad revenue in one year is around half a billion dollars. What's couple large to them?

This is why I think some people don't get that deterred by crime ... Cause they'll get a cash benefit from interviews and shit

They should make a law banning paid interviews with criminals

not rly relevant to this case cos the hostages didn't commit any crime themselves lol

also whilst some ppl do commit crime for attention i don't think anyone does it with the intention of getting a channel 9 interview

Not relevant to this case , but with some other cases in the past

Umm it is illegal? That's what happened to Schappel corby. Any money made from a crime gets confiscated by the state under Proceeds of Crime laws.

Whoops, totally forgot about that

It's not journalism it's show business. This is going to turn into a feeding frenzy with messy details and sensationalism. The media manipulates and distorts the truth to maximise ratings. The truth is not so simple.

 

[isildurrrr1]

hmm..

Your point?

They always train in highly targeted places an attack might happen. They do these type of training ALL THE TIME.

Ever heard of the Melbourne Sheraton incident?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Secret_Intelligence_Service#The_Sheraton_Hotel_incident

It's their job to train and do counter terror ops in area's they're responsible in. 2nd CDO is responsible for all of eastern australia, SASR is responsible for Western AU.
