Narrative war over Iran's protests + Trump’s press sec blows up at journalist, InDaily SA muscles in on Murdoch

In this episode Jan and Antoinette look at the fight to control the narrative over protests in Iran where the death toll has exceeded 3000. With an internet block out, state media tightly controlled, foreign actors bragging about armed interference, and exiled figures presenting themselves as the solution, protestors and their plight largely disappear from the story - by design. Meanwhile, Trump’s press secretary snaps at another reporter - this time to dodge a basic question about the shooting of an unarmed mother by an ICE agent. There’s also a shout out to some responsible reporting on neo-Nazi material and a peak at the growing influence of InDaily SA, the newspaper muscling in on Murdoch's territory in Adelaide.  TIPS FROM ANTOINETTE ON IRANIAN WOMEN TO FOLLOW:Tara Kangarlou Iranian journalist, author and NGO founder Gissou Nia Iraninan human rights lawyer Samira Mohyeddin Iranian journalist and academic LIVE SHOW TICKETS in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or Canberra tickets are here.Support Ette Media by becoming a subscriber here.If you want to see our mugs as we yap you can watch the episode in full here.
