2014 Annual: the year that was – May
It was another year of continual change in the media and marketing world. Over the next 12 days, Mumbrella’s Miranda Ward provides a month-by-month recap of the major stories and developments that affected the industry.
May was the month of bizarre stunts and the news you never expected to read, for sub-editors everywhere it was a good month.
The month kicked off with the bizarre news that James Packer and David Gyngell had brawled in the streets of Bondi. Media outlets entered a bidding war for the photographs taken, with News Corp emerging the victor.
Nando’s Australia was forced to pull down a tactical social media post after using one of the copyrighted images of the brawl without permission.
