The rights to the Brisbane Media Map are owned by Queensland University of Technology (QUT) . The project is managed by the Creative Industries Faculty at QUT. The innovative developers and designers of the Brisbane Media Map have overseen the creation of other similar maps in Australia and internationally. QUT Creative Industries has assisted in the formation of the Sydney News Media Map, the Melbourne Media Map and the Malmö Media Map in Sweden. These maps have adapted the concept of the Brisbane Media Map to provide audiences with an overview of the media industries in the relevant geographical area.
QUT Creative Industries is happy to offer advice and support to any organisation interested in establishing its own media map. For more information about how we can help you please contact us.

The Brisbane Media Map team recognises that the Internet has great potential as a major distribution platform for knowledge, but there are disadvantages. Distributing content online is just a matter of ‘cutting and pasting’ and issues of intellectual property are manifold. It is vital to consider new approaches to copyright. We believe that by using the Creative Commons licensing, authors and artists can take full advantage of the Internet while still retaining some of their rights. Whereas conventional copyright does not allow users to copy and distribute content without the express permission of the author, the Creative Commons licenses can be tailored by the authors to allow free distribution of their material on the basis of certain criteria such as acknowledgement of author and non-commercial usage. We believe that this will encourage debate on media issues and synergise new understandings. To learn more on the Creative Commons project please visit the Creative Commons.
