Welcome to our newsletter. This week, Tamara is looking at the controversy around the decision by Media Watch to investigate an external work contract undertaken by one of its star presenters, Tony Armstrong who, as a result, found himself again targeted by racist comments on social media. This came in the same week the ABC handed down its damning report on racism in the public broadcaster.
Miguel is looking at what appears to be consistent breaches of an internet protocol by Large Language Model manufacturers which is allowing them to crawl websites for content that otherwise would have been off limits.
And I’m looking at the vastly different tone of news media coverage of the first anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. It’s all in the headlines!
