An amazing weekend for Murdoch-ologists with revelatory reporting in @nytimes and @TheAtlantic ... my analysis of what we've learned is here: @crikey_news crikey.com.au/2025/02/17/rup…

@newscorpaus accounts for 2023-24 filed today look interesting: slumped from a $17.9m profit to a $43.3m loss after tax ... worse than I thought tbh and a different picture than emerges from the parent accounts which still show the news media division is profitable globally

Out now! In which Lachlan Murdoch's politics harden from 'soft left' in his 20s to pro-Trump by the 2020 election, when he proves that if push comes to shove he is willing to put the profitability of Fox News above all else. That's why he's #thesuccessor abc.net.au/listen/program…

NEW: In my last story for ABC, I made an episode for Days Like These about the famous Chinatown restaurateur - known for playing the violin in his shop - about why he decides to sell his business and go all in on violin at the age of 75. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/dum…

"Social media brought out the worst in the news business, and news, in turn, brought out the worst in a lot of social media." —@cwarzel Good capsule description of what has happened in this space since 2010. (And I live, breathe and teach this subject...) theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

1/ it's an awful day at WNYC, my work home for 20 yrs lots of talent cut esp at WNYC Studios, which is (was) the place to develop new podcasts and talent

Read this then listen to Firebomb

“Racism is pointless but not harmless.”The undercurrent of racism in Australian society & the rise of neo-nationalism is not new. Great podcast by Crispian Chan & ⁦⁦@alexsmann⁩ Have a listen. abclisten.page.link/i8XVUsz4bXcR1D…

@maharaj59 @ABCaustralia Could be mate! Could be… wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Just started listening to Unravel: Firebomb yesterday. It’s amazing, horrific and also unsurprising. I remember hearing stories of racism like this (east coast, not Perth) when I was young, but nothing as full on and laid out like this before. @alexsmann abclisten.page.link/DjSMydS9SNGcGc…

@doctormcdougall Thanks Lindsay. The series is like a fine wine - only gets better as the episodes go on. Final episode released on Tuesday this week. Crispian is an incredible host and I feel so lucky he shared his family’s story with us all.
