My guest this week is Dr Josie Vine, who is a senior journalism scholar from RMIT University, here to talk all about how the media industry works.We discuss the difference between 'the media' and 'journalism', how different outlets have different motivations, formats and rules they must follow and why it is so important to be critical of any news we consume.
