Regional Dailies of Australia Ltd

Description

Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsEmployer organisationsHistoryRegional Dailies of Australia Ltd was formed in 1968 when it changed its name from Australian Provincial Daily Press Ltd. A representative body of provincial newspaper proprietors was first formed in 1906 as the Australasian Provincial Press Association to represent their interests under the newly formed Commonwealth. Tension gradually emerged between the weekly and daily news paper proprietors resulting in the formation of the offshoot, APDP, around 1933 initially as a sub- section of the older body. It began operating independently in 1936. RDA operates as an employer body within industrial relations forums and represents the interests of its members otherwise as needed. The company was dormant and the directors resolved at a meeting on 25 May 1998 to liquidate the company.Search records of this agent
