Constructive Conversations with Stan Grant [Episode 3]

Fear-evoking language has been a mainstay of news headlines for decades.

Words like "gruesome" "horror" and "catastrophic" evoke strong emotional responses in audiences, but they can also cause people to disengage.

This week Stan and I, Amanda Robson, talk about how the media could be informing the public rather than causing division.

Using a constructive approach, we talk about the upcoming referendum, discussing how potential changes to our constitution could be better explained and debated without the polarising rhetoric.

We also have a constructive conversation about the global impact of NewsCorp in the week its chairman Rupert Murdoch steps aside to make way for his son Lachlan.
