Episode description

Charlie is joined by returning guest host Rachel Withers of The Monthly. Together they talk to the Centre for Advancing Journalism's media ethics expert and Senior Research Fellow, Dr Denis Muller. 

They discuss the rise of Trumpism, the requirement for balanced reporting, the separation of opinion and news, and the Australian media's approach to political reporting in the wake of the referendum.

Rachel and Charlie also explore the aftermath of The Voice to Parliament referendum, looking at where the 'Yes' votes polled the highest and how the media can misconstrue data and statistics in their reporting.
