Public Knowledge Forum: Common Ground

In conjunction with the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney and Sky News Australia’s APAC, the Walkley Foundation is delighted to present this series of six podcasts from the Public Knowledge Forum examining the state of journalism and asking: where to next? In a world of fragmented audiences and time-shifted media consumption, has our shared understanding been undermined? Who determines what information is considered important after the traditional bundle of news has been dismantled? Does an increased reliance on niche and partisan news sources change people’s relationship to politics? What, if any, implications does this have for social cohesion, the health of our democracies and public policy making? Join editor for The New Republic John Judis, member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board Mary Kissel, executive director at the newDemocracy Foundation Iain Walker and NBC correspondent Sara James.
