The government’s media reform bill finally passed the Senate on September 14, after months of negotiations with cross bench senators. Communications minister Mitch Fifield says the reform will strengthen Australia’s media industry and secure local journalism jobs. But not everyone is convinced. And what about Facebook and Google? 

We sat down to discuss it with Ben Eltham (New Matilda), Margaret Simons (Monash University) and Quentin Dempster (The New Daily). Hosted by Olivia Rosenman.
