Show Notes
Our first show back for 2018 kicks off with a discussion about the ethics of reporting politicians' private lives in the wake of the Barnaby Joyce story. The panel then takes on the government's proposed changes to national security laws and what they mean for journalism and free speech. We rounded out the episode looking at Facebook's latest attempts to fight fake news and the murky market of online influence.
With Josh Butler (Huffpost), Dana McCauley (The Australian) and Myriam Robin (Australian Financial Review). Hosted by Olivia Rosenman.
