2023/24 Holiday Series: Sarah Hanson-Young and media reform

2023/24 Holiday Series: Sarah Hanson-Young and media reform

Some of the leftover issues from 2023 – in fact, these are leftover issues from the past 40 years – are the behaviour of the mainstream media, a lack of diversity in ownership and political opinion, and declining standards in political reporting.
One of our most listened episodes from last year was the discussion with Australian Greens Senator, Sarah Hanson-Young, who outlined the issues that need to be resolved and the kinds of reforms needed to make the media work in the interests of the public, not in the interests of media tycoons, who always seem to have ulterior motivations that favour conservative entities.
This interview was recorded in June 2023, but the issues are still relevant today. Let’s see if these issues will be investigated by the federal government during 2024.
