An Academy darling that has faded into the background, Broadcast News (1987) still holds up as Network's little brother. They don't make 'em like this anymore: light comedy about adults with adult problems. Join Mike and Dan for a conversation about how the film offers something more novel than a love triangle: a talent triangle. They also talk about how the film dramatizes the challenge of people who have friends for too long and therefore can't becoming romantically involved. When was the last time you saw that in a movie? Brian McNair's Journalists in Film explores how journalists have been portrayed in film, and what these images tell us about the role of the journalist in liberal democratic societies. Follow us on X and Letterboxd–and let us know what you'd like us to watch! Incredible bumper music by John Deley.

Although poll results show today that the majority (news/local-news/40-local-news/104783-majority-of-online-readers-still-buy-print-newspapers-poll) of our online followers still buy physical newspapers, publications are continuing to ditch print newspaper services in favor of online platforms. Australian Community Media (ACM) recently shut their Murray Bridge printing press and moved operations to Adelaide and News Corp have made 100 of their local and regional papers digital only. Is 'print media' doomed and how is the industry poised to progress in future? Brian McNair, expert in media and journalism and author of ‘Fake News’, ‘Journalism and Democracy’ and ‘Communication and Political Crisis’, joins Jennie Lenman to share his perspective.

On the inaugural episode of Industry Night with Foodie and the Beast, hosts Nycci and David Nellis sit down with Brian McNair, Executive Director of Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen to chat about how he, Jose and the WCK team coalesced to develop the process and program empowering people to become part of a broader solution for health, education, jobs, social enterprise and …. disaster relief. Along with its broader portfolio of programs, WCK has stepped into the gap in huge emergencies created by the recent natural disasters in Houston, Puerto Rico and California to prepare and feed nutritious meals every day to hundreds of thousands of people. And, it wouldn’t be a F&TB show without somebody pouring something. Fortunately, Chris Houk and Jeffrey Barrientos, brought in a selection of bubbles (and their knowledge) from their portfolio at Moet Hennessy.

Watching the rise and rise of Donald Trump with both fascination and horror, Communication Mixdown this week examines the role of America's mainstream media. First up, Denis Muller from the Centre for Advancing Journalism at Melbourne University talks about the significance of the 'industry of outrage'  perpetuated by the American media throughout the presidential campaign. Then, journalism researcher Brian McNair at Queensland University of Technology argues that the electoral success of Trump has disturbing echoes of the 'descent into nomalization' of fascism in 1930s Germany, and contemporary journalism has been complicit in this process.
