In January, Jonathan Holmes met with the ABC’s then managing director, David Anderson. Jonathan and his colleagues at ABC Alumni wanted to know if Anderson was concerned about funding cuts under a Dutton-led government. Successive Coalition governments have made cuts to the national broadcaster over decades. Now, as Peter Dutton signals he’s looking to cut anything he deems to be “waste” at the ABC, alarm bells are once again ringing. Today, chair of ABC Alumni and former host of Media Watch, Jonathan Holmes, on the Coalition’s plans for the ABC, and whether it’s possible to truly shield the national broadcaster from outside interference.

Har medierne efterhånden fundet en måde at håndtere den rasende strøm af spektakulære udtalelser og beslutninger fra præsident Trump og hans regering? Og hvad får vi ud af de daglige analyser? Tabloid spørger chefredaktør Anne Mette Svane, TV2 News. Hvorfor fjerner MediaWatch ikke en artikel om et anonymt brev, der påstår at være fra DR-ansatte, når ingen ved, hvor brevet stammer fra? Vi taler om den største slettetast i redaktørernes værktøjskasse, nemlig afpublicering, med redaktionschef Nicolai Raastrup, Watch Medier. Ugens medvært er journalist Esben Kjær, der i mange år beværtede programmet Bagklog på P1.

Surviving 2025 in the intertwined industries of media and advertising. Should our government follow Australia's media policy - and beware of billionaires? Also: decoding Destiny and the tricky task of luring Aussie tourists. Can the intertwined industries of media and advertising survive 2025 - and even thrive? That was the theme of a gathering in Auckland this week. One day later, the hosts of it confirmed 30 of its journalists jobs have gone.Our government says - again - its waiting to see what Australia's government does when it comes to media policy. Mediawatch asks an Australian media expert if that makes sense - and if should media in both places beware of the billionaires. Also - this week our government unveiled a new slogan to tempt Aussie tourists across the Tasman. Everyone Must Go seems to have gone down well over there, if not here at a time when many Kiwis are going there for good. We look back at previous efforts to lure tourists across the Tasman. But tricky timing here when record-number of Kiwis have decided they must go over there for good.But some of the past efforts to attract Aussie visitors haven't dated that well either:AUDIO: 23 feb 2025 TRAIL 02 champagneThat;s later on in the programmeBut first - what happened after Destiny Church supporters disrupted Pride events in Auckland last weekend:Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Sometimes sorry is the hardest, and in this case, most expensive word. This week, Prince Harry achieved something many thought impossible – receiving a “full apology” from Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers. The apology was part of a settlement over intrusions into the Duke of Sussex's private life, the use of private investigators, and "phone hacking, surveillance and misuse of private information". On this episode of the Briefing, Bension Siebert speaks with veteran journalist and former host of the ABC’s Media Watch program, Paul Barry, to find out how the royal got a Murdoch paper to say sorry.
