Read a terrific article in The Conversation this morning regarding the retirement of R Murdoch. And it has some relevance in this Newman discussion.
Senior Editor, Sunanda Creagh, wrote the article and quoted, within the article, Uni of Melbourne journalism expert Andrew Dodd as saying (re Murdoch), “His news media empire is fundamentally antisocial in the way it operates. I believe it’s caused so much harm to so many people along the way, and that cannot go unacknowledged. From the UK phone hacking scandal and beat ups to climate denial and the demonisation of minorities, News Corp can be counted on to dumb down complexity, make issues binary and turn one side against the other.”
