Australian press watchdog chides Murdoch media
By James Grubel
Aug 27 (Reuters) - Australia's newspaper regulator on Tuesday weighed in on a row over bias by Rupert Murdoch's newspapers in the country's election campaign, telling editors to provide an accurate account of public issues.
The Australian arm of Murdoch's News Corp is the country's dominant newspaper publisher and is responsible for around 70 percent of big city newspaper sales.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has accused Murdoch's Australian newspapers of bias and of campaigning for a change of government at the Sept. 7 elections, while Murdoch has also used social media to press the demand.
Julian Disney, chairman of the Australian Press Council, has written to editors of major newspapers following complaints from the public and the industry over newspaper election reporting.
