Crikey's Eric Beecher and academic Denis Muller join us on Democracy Sausage to ask how media should operate when the lines between news, opinion and political campaigning have blurred. What impact have media moguls throughout history had on our politics and democracy? How can business models and governance structures be adjusted to ensure the Australian public is served by good journalism? And how does truth compete with exaggeration in the realm of public discourse? On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Eric Beecher and Dr Denis Muller join Professor Mark Kenny to discuss how to revive the news. Eric Beecher is a journalist, editor and publisher. He has been a reporter with The Age, The Sunday Times, The Observer in London and The Washington Post. He was the youngest-ever editor at The Sydney Morning Herald and the editor-in-chief of the Melbourne Herald. He was the founder of news website Crikey. He is the author of The Men Who Killed the News: The Inside Story of how Media Moguls Abused their Power, Manipulated the Truth and Distorted Democracy. Denis Muller is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne's Centre for Advancing Journalism. He is a political scientist, consultant, former journalist and former editor for The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Times, London. Mark Kenny is the Director of the ANU Australian Studies Institute. He came to the University after a high-profile journalistic career including six years as chief political correspondent and national affairs editor for The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Canberra Times.

John MacKenzie chats with Dr. Denis Muller from the Centre for Advancing Journalism and Senior Fellow & Subject Coordinator for Journalism (Law & Ethics) at The University of Melbourne, about the ethical considerations following the appointment of a new interim CEO at Cairns Regional Council. The appointed interim CEO worked as a volunteer on the current Mayor's campaign and many are suggesting that the appointment is a conflict of interest. The CRC threatened to silence the local newspaper, The Cairns Post, from publishing a story about the new appointment.
With Treasurer Jim Chalmers set to hand down the Federal Budget next week, we thought it would be a good time to dive into the process of how it gets made and how the media reports on it. James Chessell, a Walkley Award-winning journalist and former Managing Director of Publishing at Nine Entertainment, is well-versed in covering budgets. Plus, his former time working as a staffer for Joe Hockey makes him uniquely qualified on the topic. Club Picks: This episode of Politics with Michelle Grattan with economist Chris Richardson. She's the doyen of political coverage out of Canberra's Press Gallery, and he's the go-to guru for anyone looking to make sense of the Budget. Ahead of its release, they set the scene for what's on the government's economic plate. This piece from 2017 by Dr Denis Muller, a journalism expert from Melbourne Uni, goes into the art of the leak… And speaking of leaks, the mother of them all came about in 1980 when then-Ten News political reporter Laurie Oakes got access to the Budget in a dark Canberra car park 2 days ahead of its release… This clip of how it unfolded on air is fun, if only for then Treasurer John Howard's reaction…

Lots of listeners heard Alan Jones's violent verbiage directed at Jacinda Ardern last week on the air in Australia, but the worst of it only hit headlines this week. Will the outcry run the belligerent broadcaster's long and lucrative career off the rails?
The Broadcasting Standards Authority has sanctioned Sky TV for screening snippets of the gunman's video of the Christchurch mosque attacks in March. But other broadcasters escaped censure here and in Australia. Mediawatch asks an ethics expert cited by the BSA if it made the right call - and if we need new rules.

Today on Media Files we look at the suppression order that prevented the Australian media reporting the Pell case - and why rushing to judge-only criminal trials may be a mistake. AAP/PAUL TYQUINWhen Judge Peter Kidd sentenced Cardinal George Pell last week, it was broadcast live on radio and television. It was a stark contrast to the preceding trial, which was subject to a suppression order that prevented any coverage of the proceedings. Today on Media Files we look at the suppression order that prevented the Australian media reporting the case, even when the verdict was widely known and was being circulated on social media and on the front pages of newspapers around the world. On the day of the Pell sentence the University of Melbourne’s Centre for Advancing Journalism brought together several experts with wide-ranging experiences of suppression orders to discuss how they affect the public’s right to know and whether the laws should be reformed. The panellists are: Associate Professor Jason Bosland, Co-Director of the Centre for Media and Communications Law at Melbourne Law School, where he teaches media and communications law. His primary research interests lie in media law, including defamation and privacy, open justice and the media, contempt of court and freedom of speech Melissa Davey, Melbourne bureau chief for The Guardian. She is an experienced news journalist who previously worked as a reporter for Fairfax newspapers, including The Sydney Morning Herald and the Sun Herald. She sat through every day of the George Pell trial Lucie Morris-Marr, a reporter who, like Melissa, sat through the entire Pell proceedings. She worked at the Daily Mail, London, Marie Claire Australia and the Herald Sun in Melbourne before covering the Pell trial for the New Daily. She is the author of a book on Pell entitled Fallen: The inside story of the secret trial and conviction of Cardinal George Pell Frank Vincent AO QC, who served 16 years as a judge of the Supreme Court of Victoria followed by a further eight years as a judge of the Court of Appeal. He was Deputy Chair and then Chair of the Victorian Adult Parole Board, a position he occupied for 17 years. In 2017 he conducted a review of court suppression orders and the Open Courts Act 2013. The forum was chaired by Dr Denis Muller of the Centre for Advancing Journalism at the University of Melbourne. New to podcasts?

The chair sacked the chief and then quit himself. No-one seems to want the rest of his board of governors. How did Australia's public broadcaster the ABC end up in such a mess so suddenly? And how can this be fixed?

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.
