Listen "Introducing Journo"
Episode Synopsis
Grab your press pass: Journo helps you understand how your news is made, disseminated, and consumed. After a long career as a BBC international correspondent, Nick Bryant has returned to Australia — a former posting — at a time of unprecedented media disruption and polarised politics. “I’ve seen the media industry being overtaken by so many changes and the truth is, I'm still trying to make sense of them myself,” Bryant said. “I don’t expect to come up with all the answers, nowhere near, but hopefully we'll ask some of the right questions.” In Journo, Bryant explores how journalism around the world is changing, where it’s heading, and why more people are questioning the media’s commitment to truth. Journo will take you inside Afghanistan. Foreign reporters flee, local journalists are in fear for their lives, and the Taliban has returned armed not just with weapons, but with spin and more sophisticated communications tactics. Later episodes of Journo will ask whether reporters can trust the most important device in their journalistic toolkit — the phone — in an age of surveillance, and how journalists can report on rising global superpower China when most western media has been booted out.
