Listen "Antoinette Lattouf, Peter Lalor, and what we expect of journalists on social media"
Episode Synopsis
The dismissals of Antoinette Lattouf from the ABC and Peter Lalor from SEN over social media posts on the Israel-Gaza war raise questions about how journalists separate the personal and professional in the modern world. Where does opinion end and advocacy begin? Does a perception of bias lead to material bias in a journalist's work? And is it fair to expect journalists to maintain a social media presence without participating in public conversations? Tim and Viv tackle it all with media ethics expert Dr Denis Muller.Plus, what the launch of WB's Max streaming service will mean for Foxtel subscribers and Aussie content, and checking the accuracy of ABC comedy Optics' skewering of the PR industry. Guest:Dr Denis Muller, senior research fellow at the University of Melbourne's Centre for Advancing Journalism
