Print media ownership in Australia

Australian Print Media Ownership

Browsing the Austalian media ownership information from wikipedia, I wanted a quick way to visualise it, so I hacked this up. Only focuses on print media for now.

Requires a big screen (1500x900 minimum) because I am too lazy to do it properly. Be sure to click that "open in new window" button on blocks, here it is again in case you are as lazy as me. You can click and drag stuff around too.

Suggestions, improvements and hatemail to danielkinsman@gmail.com (gnupg public key).
