Frames, offence, and AI

Welcome to our latest Centre for Media Transition newsletter.   
 
This week, Monica shares the CMT study of how four Australian media outlets framed the Israel–Gaza and Russia–Ukraine conflicts. The differences are stark. 

I explore what makes One Nation’s Please Explain cartoons ineffective satire, drawing on the expertise of professional political cartoonists. 

As the Network 10 classic Neighbours is getting an AI-assisted repackaging for Australian social feeds, Harry contemplates whether we are ready to embrace fully AI-generated entertainment. 

And back to framing, Mia looks at the recent protests in France and the way some Australian media commentators portrayed them.
