While the CMT newsletter has been resting over summer, debate has been raging at the ABC over the termination of Antoinette Lattouf and the national broadcaster’s coverage of the Gaza/Israel war.
In our first newsletter for 2024, I look at the rules that apply to local radio presenters and social media and ask whether the national broadcaster has its editorial policy settings right. Monica then explores the controversy around objectivity and journalists from diverse backgrounds. And Tim switches gear to AI and looks at how research questions become redundant even before they’re answered.
As usual, we’ll be back with our next issue in a fortnight, when Kieran will continue the AI theme with an update on the government’s recently-announced policy. In the meantime, if you missed our December report on Gen AI and Journalism, you can find it here.
