Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfasts show, on today's show:Interview with Nadia Gavin from Harm Reduction Victoria about keeping safe while using drugs, stigma, upcoming workshops and more  In response to the recent 9 news report — first on 60 minutes, then The Age and other Fairfax outlets, spearheaded by Nick McKenzie — Monday Breakfast spoke to members of Defend The Unions, Defend The CFMEU. Last August, the CFMEU faced baseless allegations by Fairfax Media, leading to the reactionary measure by Albanese's Federal ALP government: to put the — not only the Victorian branch — but all CFMEU branches along the eastern coast of the continent into a government-approved administration. Hundreds of democratically-elected CFMEU were subsequently sacked on the spot with no right to reply. Esther Van Arend, an outspoken critic of the administration and staunch advocate for workers' rights in the union, was sacked under questionable circumstances after speaking to journalist Nick McKenzie outside a coburg cinema late last year. Esther was fired by the administration with no legal recourse, in any other circumstances this would be considered unfair dismissal and she has not yet had a right of reply. Rob spoke with Dusty, Amelia, Julie, and Janine, four rank and file members of the CFMEU and members of Defend the Unions Defend the CFMEU, a community group of rank and file CFMEU members, including a small handful of delegates plus community members in support of the union.  Speech by Amy Ciara from Kill Your Lawn Kick Ya Fence, at the IWWD in Geelong covering transgender and environmental issues as they relate to unions.  Music:Acolyte by Slaughter Beach, Dog Community events:On Wednesday the 26th of March there will be a picket of the Avalon airshow to stop death-dealing arms trading.

Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade.

Anderson went on to be a board member of Fairfax Media and Ooh Media before taking on the thankless job of CEO of New Zealand's Mediaworks.The conversation - recorded the same day Anderson chaired his first Pureprofile board meeting - ranges across what generative AI-driven synthetic data means for the company (he argues it could be an opportunity); what his board needs to do to persuade the stock market to value the company more highly; and whether a company as small as Pureprofile still belongs on the ASX.Anderson also reflects on the tough media landscape and the lessons that the decline of Mediaworks and its axing of Newshub has for Australian networks. “The value of having news as you lead into prime time became so expensive that the value equation collapsed. I could easily see that trajectory occurring at some point in the future in Australia.”He also discusses how advertisers have abruptly turned their backs on Australia's broadcasters: “This has been coming for a long time and seems to have taken forever to get here. And then all of a sudden is really happening quickly."“Given that we're as close to an economic recession as we're going to get, if not tip over, there doesn't seem to be any let up to what media is experiencing in advertising in the short to medium term, which means it could actually be quite a sustained structural shift.”Anderson also discussed what happened to the merged Southern Cross Austereo after he left, including the defection of Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson to ARN when SCA boss Rhys Holleran decided not to offer them a long term contract. Having paid $740m for Austereo, the whole company has now declined to less than a $150m valuation. Says Anderson: “They've done a lot of things that that have contributed to that - so some of that has been management failure, board failure. Losing Kyle and Jackie O would be one of those things you'd put into the basket of going ‘that was unnecessary'.”Red day on the Unmade IndexThe Unmade Index saw a hefty decline yesterday as the share market reacted to Seven West Media's moves to remove most of its top management tier. The index fell by 2.88% to 473.1 points, almost at its all time low. Seven's nearest rival Nine declined 4.18% to a market capitalisation below $2.2bn for the first time since the Covid crisis.

Louise Barrett thinks soThis week saw News Corp run it's D_Coded sessions, the news company's version of Upfronts, with a digital focus.Among the new offerings shared with marketers and media agency executives were ways of making more of News Corp's large logged in audience. Google's long-delayed, but now imminent, deprecation of third party cookies on Chrome may work to the benefit of publishers and media companies with big opted-in audiences.For News Corp that includes adding to the capabilities of its Intent Connect data offering, and the introduction of its ecommerce play Shoppable ScrollX.Barrett's conversation with Unmade's Tim Burrowes also uncovered the information that the idea of a cross industry premium content exchange is back on the agenda. News Corp's MD of client product Pippa Leary previously worked on setting up the APEX Advertising exchange which was a joint venture of Nine and Fairfax Media before those companies merged.With increasing client concerns about programatic fraud and low quality Made For Advertising (MFA) sites, a premium content exchange potentially offers marketers the ability to reach a higher quality audience programatically.In the UK, the Ozone Project, owned by news publishers including News UK, Reach, Guardian News & Media and Telegraph Media Group is well established. Barrett reveals that she and her colleague Leary held talks with Ozone during a UK visit. “I'm a big supporter of pulling something like this together. There are discussions happening. It's a very strong ambition,” she says.Also under consideration is the idea of setting up an academy aimed at educating new media agency staff about the strengths of print publications.Good day on the index for TV and outdoor, as SCA tries to slam to the door on ARN.A solid trading day for Seven West Media, Nine and Ooh Media helped lift the Unmade Index by 0.62% to 536.8 points on WednesdayNine rose by nearly 1% to return close to a market capitalisation of $2.5bn; SWM surged by more than 2.5% and Ooh lifted by 1.85%Yesterday afternoon also saw Southern Cross Austereo attempt to slam the door on ARN Media's takeover bid.

Le Roy's IAB agenda: Setting standards, building investment confidence, creating communities (and directing a panto)Covering the shenanigans of the IAB's digital metrics tender nearly 15 years ago, it was impossible to predict that the industry body would grow into the big tent it has since become.Much of the credit for that goes to Gai Le Roy, the CEO since 2018. Le Roy rose through media research roles including as research and insights director for Nine, VP of research at Nielsen and GM of audience insights at Fairfax Media.In today's Unmade podcast, we explore how she has shifted the IAB to consensus building by spreading its wings across the whole digital ecosystem. That includes a series of ongoing working groups focused on specific topics such as gaming, digital out of home, sustainability, retail media, affiliate marketing, careers and search. And the IAB runs a series of member summits across Sydney and Melbourne including this month's Audio Summit, April's affiliate marketing and digital out of home events and September's annual MeasureUp metrics conference.During the conversation, Le Roy offers a little detail on the financial state of the organisation, which she describes as healthy, with a turnover of around $2m.She also reveals why she doesn't want to bring back the IAB Awards, how she ended up involved in the unlikely success story of last year's UnLtd industry pantomime and she attempts to answer the question of what happens in her career after the IAB.The conversation also covers off the key issues coming up for 2024, including the loss of signal through cookie deprecation, forthcoming privacy legislation and where video ratings go next.Editing was courtesy of Abe's Audio, the people to talk to about voiceovers, sound design and podcast production.Message us: letters@unmade.mediaTim BurrowesPublisher - Unmade This is a public episode.

Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade.Today's edition features an interview with Chris Janz, co-founder of Australia's biggest media launch of the year, Scire.In today's edition of The Unmakers, Chris Janz, co-founder of Scire, talks to Unmade's Tim Burrowes about the company's plans for its first publication, Capital Brief, which launches in around six weeks' time.Janz was previously chief digital and publishing officer of Nine, and in the running for the CEO vacancy which eventually went to Mike Sneesby in 2021. Earlier in his career, Janz edited News Corp's news.com.au, before moving into business, including digital publishing company Allure Media which was later acquired by Fairfax Media. He was also publisher of the short-lived HuffPo Australia.Janz, and Scire co-founder David Eisman, worked together on Fairfax's now celebrated Blue Team, who led a secret project which saved the company's newspapers, including The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age from exiting from print.Capital Brief will focus on business and, as Janz reveals in the interview, will put out its main newsletter in the afternoon, a new cadence compared to existing publications in the space.This week Scire revealed a raft of new journalist appointments including former Australian Financial Review banking specialist Andrew Cornell, who led ANZ Blue Notes, which was perhaps the biggest brand-funded corporate newsroom in the country. Wall Street Journal correspondent Philip Wen, Nine's departing foreign affairs and national security correspondent Anthony Galloway - who Janz says ‘understands how power really works' - and ex-Sydney Morning Herald and The Age economics correspondent Jennifer Duke, who will be based in Canberra, are among the other new arrivals.Others include Bronwen Clune covering startups; Jack Derwin covering markets and finance; Kate Burgess covering mining and energy; Laurel Henning covering the legal and regulatory beats; and Dan Van Boom covering technology.They'll all be led by Capital Brief's editor-in-chief, John McDuling, Nine's former national business editor, who was the first hire announced.Capital Brief is intended to appeal to ‘those people driving the new economy, the new Australia'. Janz says it'll be focused on what the ‘future of Australian business is all about'.“One of the challenges of business journalism sometimes is it can drift into just servicing the big end of town. We hear a lot about the ASX200, the ASX50.”“We're about looking at the broad spectrum of Australian business as it is today and looking forward.”Janz also discusses the investors behind the company, Shearwater Capital, and the rules of engagement if Scire journalists find themselves writing about the owners' investments.During his time at Nine, Janz was in the room for negotiations with Alphabet's Google and Facebook under the shadow of the News Media Bargaining Code. After leaving Nine, he then helped overseas publishers with similar negotiations.He has a pessimistic prediction for how the publishing environment will change when the previous deals expire. “The Meta renewals are up within the next 12-ish months. There's a real challenge ahead for people who've built parts of their business off the back of that revenue. When you have what might be $100m a year disappearing from the funding models through Meta withdrawing from the country… I think it is going to pose a challenge.”Today's podcast was recorded and edited at the Sydney studio of Abe's Audio the people to talk to about voiceovers, sound design and podcast production.We'll be back with more tomorrow.Message us: letters@unmade.media This is a public episode.

Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade.Today's edition features an interview with Disrupt Radio's chief commercial and innovation officer, Rob Shwetz. We left the interview with almost as many questions as we went in, but perhaps with a better sense of what Australia's newest radio network does not want to talk about.Tim Burrowes writes:I find business fascinating. I adore startup stories. And I'm a media nerd. So I should be absolutely in love with the story of Disrupt Radio, which combines all three.The network launched last month, online, and with DAB+ licences in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.But the more I find out, the more sceptical I become. For a radio network using public airwaves, there's a lot of undisclosed information about its ownership.Listening to today's interview with Rob Shwetz, chief commercial and innovation officer at Disrupt Radio, may leave you with almost as many questions as you had before you started. However, the conversation should help you understand why I'm puzzled by so much of the Disrupt Radio launch.Unless you work in the media industry, I wouldn't blame you if you have missed the story of Disrupt Radio so far. I certainly wouldn't be expecting many listeners to have yet had the awareness to tune in. There's been some publicity, but I haven't seen any paid ads looking to attract an audience, although the company says it has done some outdoor.The best known presenters are Enterprise Breakfast host Libbi Gorr and Startup Nation host Jules Lund. Thinkerbell's Adam Ferrier is a weekly co-host on Gorr's show, while another ad industry stalwart Siimon Reynolds presents The Business Lounge.Among the curious things about Disrupt Radio is that the management won't say who its financial backers are. In the interview, Shwetz claims not to know, despite having worked alongside Roberts on the launch for the past five years.Given that there's a staff of about 20, that suggests an annual cost base of at least $2m, and probably more.I suppose it's in keeping with Disrupt Radio's communications strategy, which Schwetz describes in the interview as “PR by stealth”.Similarly, Shwetz says he has no idea what the marketing budget is for the station during this current financial year already under way. To be clear, marketing is one of his responsibilities.Schwetz's previous background has included director of client strategy at Fairfax Media's client content arm, Made. And he also spent five years as group strategy director of Mediacom in Sydney. Earlier in his career, he lists six years as strategy director for brand, media and creative at Publicis.Yes, it's a fast-moving startup (albeit one five years in the planning), but he is the person in charge of marketing. Most CMOs would know by now what their budget for FY24 is.There are other things which are a puzzle. Did wealthy (and busy) former rock star Bob Geldof really travel over from the UK and spend a week in Melbourne co-presenting the breakfast show with Libbi Gorr just out of his love of the radio medium? That feels a little unlikely, despite Shwetz's insistence that it's the case. “There's nothing more than him coming and loving the medium”.Similarly, one of the hitherto less commented-upon presences on the daily lineup is UK polemicist Rod Liddle, who interviews entrepreneurs for a daily show called Global Disruptors (or perhaps Disrupters; they spell it both ways on the Disrupt website).Liddle is a great get. It's strange they've done so little to promote this. Liddle is a massive name in UK media. He was a hugely controversial (and successful) editor of BBC Radio 4's flagship Today program, and currently writes for News Corp's daily tabloid The Sun and broadsheet The Sunday Times, along with influential right wing weekly The Spectator. He writes beautifully. Yet they haven't mentioned him. It would be like Andrew Bolt popping up on a hospital radio station in the UK and nobody thinking that seemed comment-worthy.Could it be that there are UK investors involved in the station? Maybe even Geldof, most prominent globally for his role in creating Live Aid, but he's also been an investor in media ventures. Shwetz says not.Shwetz declines in the interview to name any investors. Incidentally, since recording the podcast, I've emailed Disrupt Radio to ask that question directly.Perhaps sports radio minnow Sports Entertainment Network, run by Craig Hutchinson, has a stake. The DAB+ licences came from SEN, Shwetz said during the interview, and staff work from their offices. “It's quite a close commercial and working relationship with SEN”.Shwetz also declines in the interview to share how listening numbers have been via streaming so far, although he claims they have exceeded expectations.He makes an ambitious statement about the network's aims for audience, saying the company aims to hit a weekly cumulative reach of 250,000 to 300,000. That would be about the same as ABC Radio National.Not that Shwetz would commit to signing up to the ratings system, claiming that they haven't had time to think about it. Remember, this is a startup five years in the making.I wonder what level of data they will provide to early sponsors, who include Telstra and GWM.To be clear, this interview was not a case of catching the wrong person unawares. When the PRs for Disrupt Radio proposed Shwetz for the interview, rather than Benjamin Roberts who we had been asking to talk to for months, we questioned whether he'd be qualified. We sent through examples of four podcasts I'd previously recorded with other start ups and media bosses to give a sense of the topics I ask about, in case they were not regular listeners.They replied: “We've put Rob up for this because he's actually more suited to your audience, as he is head of marketing, advertising and media relations. He's worked alongside Ben to develop and launch the company over the past 5 years which was how the station was founded.”With Roberts off the table, we decided to go ahead with the Shwetz interview.This may be a slightly frustrating read, because you may have got to this point feeling like you know less than you did at the beginning. Give it a listen and decide for yourself.In all our podcasts, I finish by asking our guest what their supporters say about them, and what their detractors say. Shwetz's reply was: “The critics are saying they're going to give us six months.”Fair enough.For the record, I'd still love to talk to Benjamin Roberts.Audio production was courtesy of Abe's Audio, the people to talk to about voiceovers, sound design and podcast production.Message us: letters@unmade.media This is a public episode.

The serious problem of migrant worker exploitation shot to prominence in 2015, when a joint Fairfax Media and Four Corners report uncovered widespread underpayment of 7-Eleven employees. Recent governments have taken some steps to reduce exploitation, such as increasing maximum penalties for firms that knowingly underpay their workers and making improvements to the small claims process. But these changes don't go far enough, and progress has stalled since the pandemic. Our new report, Short-changed: How to stop the exploitation of migrant workers in Australia, provides solutions to stamp out the exploitation of migrant workers.

Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade.Today's edition features the story of the first ten years of The Guardian Australia .Tim Burrowes talks to editor Lenore Taylor and managing director Dan Stinton about how The Guardian found its place within the Australian media establishment after arriving in May 2013.Using a loan from philanthropist Graeme Wood, the publication assembled a team of some of the country's best journalists, many of whom were refugees from Fairfax Media following the mass redundancies of 2012.Taylor says that the tenth anniversary has inspired a deluge of gratitude from readers in her inbox with many arguing that The Guardian has indeed fulfilled a “much needed” niche in Australia's media landscape.Stinton, who will shortly move to the Perth-based tech platform Health Engine after five years running the business side of the operation, explains the Guardian's funding model. The company's ‘diversified' revenue - which has almost tripled in the last three years - is generated through a combination of reader support (which has been a ‘rocketship' for the publication) and other philanthropic funding, digital advertising, and licensing revenue, via the News Media Bargaining Code.Taylor recalls former Fairfax Media boss Greg Hywood's dismissal of the launch, asserting that there would only ever be two Australian news brands that would matter - Fairfax and News Corp.The interview also covers some of the highlights of The Guardian's reporting, including its ‘Life on the Breadline' series which focused on Australians living in poverty, and the Snowden spying revelations. Taylor also points to the discovery of new writing talent including columnists like Van Badham and Greg Jericho.She also addresses the topic of transexual politics, which has divided the newsroom of The Guardian's head office in the UK.According to Ipsos, The Guardian is currently Australia's sixth biggest digital news brand.The podcast was recorded in The Guardian's Sydney studio and edited by Abe's Audio.The interview was recorded before yesterday's apology from The Guardian after staff in the UK office used the phrase “gone walkabout” to describe the launch.letters@unmade.media This is a public episode.

A massive and irreplaceable archive of historically significant photographs is up for sale on the open market, after a lengthy ordeal abroad that almost saw them destroyed. Dubbed the Fairfax Archives, in 2013 the collection of 1.4 million photographs was sent by Fairfax Media to the United States to be digitised. However the company carrying out the digitisation later became linked to sports memorabilia fraud, was raided by the FBI and later bankrupted. The collection of images, as well as others from Australian newspapers, were seized and held as collateral on a US$14 million loan, and were in danger of being destroyed. An L.A-based gallery has since bought the entire archive, and is putting some of the photos up for sale. Described by historians as the country's "national photo album", the archive spans from 1840 to 2005. It includes historic moments like the 1981 Springbok Tour protests, the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior, the aftermath of the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake and Sir Edmund Hillary's ascent of Mt Everest - as well as royal visits, Auckland's Queen St and 40,000 pictures of the All Blacks. So where should the Fairfax Archive ideally end up? And what does the sale of the collection mean for the preservation of our history? Kathryn speaks to Daniel Miller, the owner of Duncan Miller Gallery in Los Angeles and Dr Paul Moon, a professor of History at AUT who was asked by Duncan Miller Gallery to help identify the images.

He began his musical career with piano lessons at the age of 4 under the guidance of his aunt, Aurora Flores. Since then, he has been a regular participant at the Albury-Wodonga Eisteddfod and has won the age championships several times throughout his school years. He has also been Junior Champion of the Bernstein Piano Competition held at Shepparton and a finalist at the Bernstein Piano Competition held in Ringwood. James also studied the violin, with the late Margaret Moore, and participated in numerous Border Music Camps and as a member of the Murray Conservatorium Orchestra. James successfully completed the piano AMEB grades and attained the AMusA in 2009. In 2011, James became interested in sacred music and the organ. He first began lessons on the organ under the instruction of Benedict Wilson and subsequently became sub-organist for the Schola Cantorum at St Patrick's Church, Albury. James was actively involved in the Schola's liturgical activities, concerts and the production of three CDs. From 2014, he continued his organ studies under the guidance of Dr Allan Beavis as Organ Scholar of the St Matthew's Music Association. In 2017, James placed second in the Ringwood Classical Organ Competition (Melbourne, VIC). James has participated in masterclasses with renowned organists such as Daniel Moult (London, UK) and Johann Vexo (Choir Organist, Notre Dame de Paris). James has successfully attained the Licentiate Diploma with Honours from the St Cecilia School of Music (SCSM) in organ and the Associate Diploma from the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB) in organ and piano. He also holds a Diploma in Church Music (SCSM) and the Archbishops' Award in Church Music (Guild of Church Musicians). James' involvement in church music ministry spans over several parishes of the Albury, NSW, area. James enjoys the demanding but rewarding challenges in contributing to the various liturgies of the Christian church and his ongoing development as a recitalist and liturgical organist. James hopes that the organ will be a treasured instrument for many more generations to come. Apart from his musical endeavors, James completed an IT degree from the University of Wollongong and currently works as an Enterprise Systems Engineer at Fairfax Media. He is also strongly interested and skilled in many web related technologies. In fact, his website (jamesfloresorganist.com) was created by James along with the assistance of his talented wife Leysa Flores (Graphic Designer).
