This week Os and Scott share some exciting news about the future of the podcast!
They begin the show by breaking down the Murdoch family's succession drama, which was finally resolved this week. They discuss the winners, losers and what it means for the future of Rupert Murdoch's media empire in Australia and around the world.
Also in this episode, they look at why the Australian media seem so unequipped to cover issues of race and racism, and why that matters more than ever right now, as political attacks on migrants continue to ramp up.
Later, they look at the slow, steady death of arts journalism in Australia and the impacts that will have on culture more broadly, and discuss the controversial decision to shut down the 85-year-old literary journal Meanjin.
And in Keeping Tabs: Has the media learned any lessons about the coverage of Erin Patterson? And the dust-up between a travel influencer and two podcasts that has sparked a debate about journalism, social media and ethics.
