Podcasts about gay alcorn

In this episode - one week before the federal election - we talk to Kos Samaras. Samaras had a long career as a Labor strategist - particularly in running campaigns for the Victorian party - before founding the political consultancy firm RedBridge in 2020. He's one of the big thinkers in Australian politics, who grew up in a blue collar Labor family, and is now sometimes critical of Labor for what he sees as the neglect of its heartland voters. Samaras is one of many voices featured in this week's cover story - Battle for the battlers - about the challenges facing social democratic parties around the world (including Australia), written by the host of our conversation today, Good Weekend senior writer Gay Alcorn.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“There's interesting data that's been coming out suggesting that podcasts and hosts are the most trusted figures in media.” Brian Reed, (Host of Question Everything, S-Town - This American Life) The Media Roundtable is back! This week we're bringing you a hard-hitting story featuring a unique, journalistic perspective on the landscape of audio and media.

Together, Dan and Brian discuss: the origins of S-Town and Question Everything, ethics and bias in storytelling, journalistic principles for advertisers, and more. Let's dive in.

The media is responsible for holding politicians to account and ensuring the public is fully informed about the decisions the government is making. In the lead up to May 21, when Australia heads to the polls, the role the media plays only becomes more important. But how do journalists and editors decide what to cover and what to skip? How do we address bias? And are we looking for gotcha moments or are we looking to investigate the policies that each major party is bringing to the election? This week we asked readers and our followers on social media what they wanted to ask the Gay Alcorn, the editor of The Age and Bevan Shields, the editor of the Herald.

This week we look at the fallout from Rachel Baxendale asking a series of probing questions to Dan Andrews and the following twitter pile on. We ask was it the right time to ask serious questions in the middle of a pandemic and is twitter a place for valid feedback or becoming too partisan in its responses. To help Monica Attard in our discussion we were joined by Gay Alcorn and Padding Manning.

As we begin to cut ourselves off from each other, writer Gay Alcorn finds a yearning to make connections with people she barely knows.

Caroline Marcus is the "Political Reporter for the People" for Sky News and an opinion columnist for The Daily Telegraph. Caroline joined me live onstage at the Giant Dwarf theatre in Redfern in front of a lively crowd on Wednesday July 12th. We touch on the media landscape, bias, identity politics and her experience reporting on the Australian detention centres on Nauru for A Current Affair. Our disagreement occasionally got heated, but I really appreciated the chance to explore this stuff with Caroline in detail.  A huge thank you to the Giant Dwarf for having us.

Gay Alcorn has been a journalist for over 25 years. She's been a Washington correspondent, edited The Sunday Age, won three Walkley Awards and is now the Melbourne editor for Guardian Australia. I wanted to talk with Gay about a whole many things (we began by talking about this week's 4Corners report on the refugee children of Nauru and the roles and biases of journalism), but the bulk of our chat became focussed on the notion of "political correctness": the nature of our public discourse, section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, identity politics and cultural appropriation. Gay describes herself as a progressive person but is a staunch advocate of the freedom of speech and has concerns about the way we go about talking with each other. Is it now longer possible for us to "reasonably disagree"?  This piece by Gay on PC is the basic starting point for our chat, I'd recommend reading that first before listening here. We also got on to Lionel Shriver's speech at the Brisbane Writer's Festival and the ensuing furore; this will also be the focus of next week's episode with Yassmin Abdel-Magied.  Boundless Plains To Share at Belvoir Theatre in January 2017 The World Keeps Happening is being filmed for Stan at the Comedy Theatre on Saturday December 3rd; details on comedy.com.au @gay_alcorn Gay's writing at Guardian Australia The Media's Moment of Truth by Frank Bruni  Hunt For The Radical Centre: Confronting Welfare Dependency by Noel Pearson  The Pacific Solution's brutal fact: we need it by Jonathan Holmes Those fighting offshore detention don't need all the answers by me  Section 18C Explainer: What is it, and why do some politicians want it changed? by Luke McNamara We need to talk about cultural appropriation: why Lionel Shriver's speech touched a nerve by Stephanie Convery Cause of the Week: Guardian Australia (theguardian.com/au), Oxfam Australia (oxfam.org.au)  

Gay Alcorn travels to the Victorian seat of Indi, which independent Cathy McGowan won from Liberal party MP Sophie Mirabella in 2013. Can McGowan repeat her success or will the electorate return to Mirabella, or possibly Nationals candidate Marty Corboy? Voters in the electorate talk about what matters to them, who will they vote for and why More coverage: Will Indi hold on to the power of one?

Guardian Australia’s Gay Alcorn and Melissa Davey discuss Victoria’s royal commission into family violence, due to report this week after a year gathering evidence. The state government has vowed to adopt every recommendation and the report is expected to be influential across Australia.
