Can quality journalism survive in Australia?

On this episode, we discuss regulating the digital giants, the challenge of artificial intelligence and restoring trust in the media. The media industry has changed radically over the last three decades, transformed by the 24-hour news cycle, social media and the tech giants, and now artificial intelligence. On this special episode of Follow the Money, recorded live at Politics in the Pub in Canberra, Minister Ed Husic, Senator Sarah Hanson-Young and Karen Percy from the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) discuss technology, trust and the future of the media. This discussion was recorded live on Wednesday 21 August 2024 and things may have changed since recording. australiainstitute.org.au // @theausinstitute Guest: The Hon Ed Husic MP, Minister for Industry and Science Guest: Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, Greens Arts & Communications spokesperson // @sarahinthesen8 Guest: Karen Percy, Federal President (Media), Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) // @PercyKaren Host: Richard Denniss, Executive Director, the Australia Institute // @RDNS_TAI Host: Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director, the Australia Institute // @ebony_bennett Theme music: Pulse and Thrum; additional music by Blue Dot Sessions We’d love to hear your feedback on this series, so send in your questions, comments or suggestions for future episodes to [email protected] Follow the Money & the research powerful interests fear: https://theaus.in/4vs6XeOSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
