All The President's Minutes - Minute 4 with Melissa Matheson

*All The President's Minutes* is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film *All The President's Men* as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute four host, Blake Howard joins editor of youth website *GOAT* and veteran journalist working in Australia's largest news publications Melissa Matheson. Melissa and Blake discuss learning and using shorthand to take damned quick notes as a cadet, nostalgic for typewriters and note-books, and the kinship of the *All the President's Men* newsroom and the newsroom from *The Wire* Season Five. ** *ABOUT MELISSA MATHESON* *Via Mumbrella* ( https://mumbrella.com.au/melissa-matheson-named-editor-of-novas-youth-website-goat-549465 ) Nova Entertainment has appointed former mX Sydney editor Melissa Matheson as the editor of youth website Goat.
