We Used to be Journos

Pickering vs ABC code of conduct, Pauline’s free PR, influencer spills on MAGA media strategy

Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, Jan and Antoinette react to news that Charlie Pickering's swipe at Grace Tame didn’t breach ABC’s code of conduct, which leaves them very confused about who gets to have opinions at the national broadcaster and who doesn’t. Plus, they take stock of the weekend articles that compared Pauline Hanson to various important historical figures and they dissect an A.I-related quandary involving two academics and the Sydney Morning Herald.  Jan gives a shout out to the former MAGA influencer blowing the whistle on MAGA’s media manipulation, while Antoinette praises fellow indie media outlet’s persistent coverage on Lebanon. Support Ette Media by becoming a subscriber here.Thanks to @jaidanielpyne for composing the music for our podcast.
