Episode description

The shooting of multiple Australian journalists by police in Los Angeles has focused attention on media safety in Trump's America, and right around the world. Os and Scott look at why journalism seems to becoming less safe, the impunity with which police and military seem to be acting towards reporters, and why news organisations are struggling with the basic principles of defending their staff.


Also in the show, they discuss Network 10's decision to cancel its long-running current affairs program The Project, and trace the show's rise and fall before evaluating the state of news reporting on commercial TV.


Plus, they cover the ABC's latest cuts, the media organisations in trouble for breaching suppression orders in the trial of Erin Patterson, and the case of the high-profile presenter who made a triumphant return to social media... or did they?
