This weekend I’ve been fulfilling a career dream and appearing as a speaker at a writers festival. When I last sat in the audience at the BWF prior to the pandemic it was before my book Media Unmade had been thought of, let alone written; I never anticipated being on stage myself. Yesterday I joined a panel discussing how Australia’s media got to its current state, and at about the time you’re receiving this, I’ll be wrapping up a session talking about the rise of disinformation in the social media age.
