Voice for Victoria: Reality in a world of spin, with Emily Coltraine

Emily Coltraine founded Voice for Victoria - a new media channel that grew to approximately 200,000 Victorian subscribers. Initially conceived as a mental health coping project for Emily, it quickly grew in popularity as many turned to 'Voice' for news and commentary that couldn't be found on legacy or new media channels. Voice for Victoria continues to publish news and educational pieces on Victoria, voting, Australian politics and political culture in general.
