Episode description

Dunn Street founder Stephen Donnelly was joined by Associate Professor Communication and Media at La Trobe University, Andrea Carson. 

Andrea discusses the media’s role in providing Donald Trump a platform to win the nomination, striking the balance between de-platforming and free speech, and Murdoch v New Media. She tries to make sense of Stephen’s rant on the Australian media’s coverage of the pandemic. She also tells us about her research into government intervention against the spread of misinformation.

The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street. For more information on how Dunn Street can help you organise to build winning campaigns in your community, business or organisation, and make the world a better place, look us up at: dunnstreet.com.au
