I wrote this after disappointing media coverage of the death of a cyclist in Sydney, in the area known as Tech Central - where Atlassian, Block and many other tech companies are located.

Meaning 's/the Media Report/the Australian Media Report/' ?

At least in my part of the USA, the local paper seems overjoyed to report on any sort of pedestrian / cyclist / motorist injury or death. That might be related to how cheap such coverage is on their end (minimal editing of police announcements), and how little staffing the paper still has after several waves of downsizing.

Yes - apologies. I didn't want to change the title from the original.
