Media and the War for Attention

from Media Mothership Hosted by Craig Norris

Debates over the satire of Tropic Thunder to politicians sharing videogame footage from War Thunder as real combat, the boundaries between entertainment, politics and propaganda are increasingly blurred. We also examine claims that videogames are losing the “war for attention”, the global rise of K-pop and Asian cultural influence. This episode was recorded live at Edge Radio 99.3FM studios in Hobart Tasmania, and first aired on March 12, 2026.
