Business Reporter for ABC Digital and National News, Dan Ziffer joined Tim Webster on Summer Nightlife to discuss the latest in economic, business and finance news. 

With more Australians working from home than ever, the lines between work and leisure time have really blurred. With so many huge advances in technology why does it sometimes feel like we're working more not less than peasants in Medieval times, and with our always on lifestyles have we actually forgotten how to stop and smell the flowers?Guest: Anna Kelsey-Sugg for ABC Digital

Outside of the Olympics or the driveway to the United Nations, how often do you think about flags? Countries and states have them but Australian cities have them as well. And unsurprisingly for something that was created largely during colonial times, nowadays these flags can feel a little problematic. So what's the history behind our city flags? And is it about time we gave their tired old designs a bit of a refresh?Guest: Nick Baker for ABC Digital

There's nothing wrong with a healthy celebrity obsession - but throughout pop culture history, fan girls have had a bad rap. While being an expert on a topic is seen as intellectual being a fangirl is often portrayed as hysterical, immature and downright creepy. So why aren't the same judgements made about male-centric fandoms? And why do we care so much about what women do with their spare time?Guest: Anna Levy for ABC Digital 

In the last few months there have been some very close calls with planes. In Japan a plane burst into flames on the tarmac, and a plane in Alaska lost a door mid flight, so just how safe is air travel really? And are all the recent technological advances improving flights or creating more room for malfunction?Guest: Lucy Sweeney from ABC Digital

It's no secret we should be working a little bit less, and sleeping a little bit more. And in the age of the always on hustle, some people are doing just that - and these "Sleepfluencers"are making a whole lot of money. So who are these people that are cashing in on their sleep cycles? Why are people paying to watch strangers sleep? And how could the online phenomena of sleepfluencing be a gateway to better mental health? Guest: Anna Levy from ABC Digital 

Content. Community. Culture. Those "three C's" are integral to the leadership of both CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures President/CEO Wendy McMahon, who began her career in brand marketing at storied Gray Television-owned CBS affiliate WTOC-11 in Savannah, Ga.With a bigger role at CBS given to McMahon just days ago, McMahon says she's always craved opportunities in which she can continue to learn and grow. Yet, she said Wednesday in a TVB NEXT Women: Coffee online interview conducted by TVB Chief Communications Officer Abby Auerbach, "I'm not sure how I ultimately landed in this position. I was not one of those young professionals who had a vision board or a belief necessarily in where I wanted to be. I just knew that I had such a passion and such a belief in the power and the privilege of what at the time our local news stations did. But I just kept chasing that passion to be able to practice and hone my craft in bigger markets, in markets that were just incredibly complex and fascinating."McMahon had much to say about the "reality of discomfort," and how she leads today, in a "Coffee Talk" with Auerbach, Executive Director of its NEXT Women initiative.The discussion, underwritten by WideOrbit, offered insights on mentorship and leadership insights for women from McMahon, whose resume includes a stint as President of ABC Owned TV Stations and SVP of ABC Digital. In this InFOCUS Podcast, presented by dot.FM, we are pleased to offer excerpts from McMahon's chat with Auerbach.

Um tiroteio ocorrido durante um festival de música, no Paraguai, no último final de semana, matou duas pessoas e deixou outras cinco feridas. De acordo com o que noticia o portal de notícias paraguaio ABC Digital, o festival Ja'umína estava sendo realizando durante o último domingo (30/01) na cidade de San Bernardino, situada a cerca de 50 quilômetros de distância da capital Asunción, quando houve um tiroteio na área vip do evento.Entre as pessoas que ficaram feridas, estão dois homens com antecedentes criminais vinculados ao tráfico de drogas: José Bogado Quevedo e Marcelo Monteggia. Rojas Mora, que morreu, também possuía histórico relacionado a este tipo de delito.

(Víspera de los Partidos Premundiales Venezuela-Argentina y Ecuador-Paraguay) «En plena Guerra del Chaco, mientras los campesinos de Bolivia y Paraguay marchaban al matadero, los futbolistas paraguayos jugaban fuera de fronteras recogiendo dinero para los muchos heridos, que caían sin amparo en un desierto donde no cantaban los pájaros ni dejaba huellas la gente. Así llegó Arsenio Erico a Buenos Aires, y en Buenos Aires se quedó. Fue paraguayo el máximo goleador del campeonato argentino en todos los tiempos. Erico metía más de cuarenta goles por temporada. »Él tenía, escondidos en el cuerpo, resortes secretos. Saltaba el muy brujo, sin tomar impulso, y su cabeza llegaba siempre más alto que las manos del arquero, y cuando más dormidas parecían sus piernas, con más fuerza descargaban de pronto latigazos al gol. Con frecuencia, Erico azotaba de taquito. No hubo taco más certero en la historia del fútbol. »Cuando Erico no hacía goles, los ofrecía, servidos, a sus compañeros. Cátulo Castillo le dedicó un tango: »Pasará un milenio sin que nadie repita tu proeza del pase de taquito o de cabeza.»1 Así reseña con excepcional elocuencia el escritor uruguayo Eduardo Galeano, en su libro titulado El fútbol a sol y sombra, la carrera futbolística de Arsenio Pastor Erico Martínez, quien nació en 1915 en Asunción, Paraguay. Erico llegó a ser un ídolo tan popular en Argentina que la fanaticada lo bautizó con un montón de apodos. Lo apodaron «el paraguayo de oro», «el mago», «el rey del gol» y «el virtuoso» por los goles imposibles entre los 293 que marcó a lo largo de su carrera con el Club Atlético Independiente de Avellaneda. Y le decían «el saltarín rojo», «el aviador» y «el hombre de goma» por la agilidad con que saltaba para meter los goles de cabeza. De ahí que el impresionante nuevo estadio del Independiente de Avellaneda, ahora denominado el Estadio Libertadores de América, se haya reinaugurado oficialmente en octubre del 2009 con un importante sector de plateas que lleva su nombre.2 Y de ahí que concluya así mismo el periodista José María Troche, en el diario ABC Digital, de Asunción: «Con justicia el estadio de Nacional lleva su nombre, el mismo que una tribuna del estadio de los Defensores del Chaco. Lo triste es que Erico nunca pudo jugar en la selección, perdiendo la Albirroja a su figura más rutilante de todos los tiempos.»3 Tiene razón el periodista paraguayo. No es justo que una figura de la talla de Erico no haya podido participar en la selección de su país, ni mucho menos representarlo en una Copa Mundial de Fútbol. Más vale que reconozcamos que algo parecido pudiera sucedernos a nosotros, de modo que nos esforcemos por evitarlo. Es que pudiera ser que nosotros también obtengamos muchos logros en esta vida y sin embargo no lleguemos a participar en la Copa celestial, acompañados de la selección compuesta por los miembros de nuestra familia. Ya que es posible en el caso nuestro, hagamos lo necesario para asegurar nuestra participación en la gloriosa inauguración de esa Copa, que son las bodas del Señor Jesucristo, llamado el Cordero de Dios. Pues de hacerlo así, nos sentiremos aludidos por aquellas palabras que el ángel le dijo al apóstol Juan que escribiera: «¡Dichosos los que han sido convidados a la cena de las bodas del Cordero!»4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Eduardo Galeano, El fútbol a sol y sombra (México, D.F.: Siglo Veintiuno Editores, 1995), p. 76. 2 Wikipedia, s.v. «Estadio Libertadores de América» En línea 11 enero 2010; Horacio Galiano, «Arsenio Erico Vive», Teledeportes.com, 28 octubre 2009 En línea 11 enero 2010. 3 José María Troche, «Arsenio Erico: Un jugador glorioso del fútbol paraguayo», ABC Digital, 24 julio 2008 En línea 11 enero 2010. 4 Ap 19:9

Earlier this week I wrote about Nine and the ABC being recognised internationally for their fast-growing news sites. I took the opportunity to examine the ways that metrics can be used and abused in newsrooms, and from the comments I received on that piece it's clear that I hit a nerve with many people who have worked in digital. If you've been inside a focussed, competitive big general news website you don't forget the pressure, and many people wanted to back up what I said about insulating reporters from metrics.For the record: I have been a big pusher of metrics inside newsrooms and have presided over editorial cultures where numbers are important. I have mellowed over the years and learned a lot from the newsrooms I've worked in. There's a short story by Jorge Luis Borges where he meets his former self and isn't impressed. I'm not sure about that, but I definitely wouldn't want to work in some of my old teams.Today I'm speaking to ABC News Director Gaven Morris about the long-term trend which underlies his brand's globally recognised performance. Morris took charge of ABC news in 2015, and since that time the ABC's digital news audience has been growing steadily. In a statement that may horrify commercial operators, Morris says ABC news digital is not done growing. So how did they do it, and how hard did he have to push the numbers?Please support Crawford Media by passing this email on to people who would enjoy the newsletter or podcast.The Crawford Media podcast music is”Ethernight Club” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ This is a public episode.
