BotW: Slugging it out in Canberra; Brag Media boss’s weird exit; Grim milestones
Welcome to a busy Best of the Week, written on Friday afternoon next to a roaring fire in Evandale, Tasmania, and on a chilly Saturday morning wishing the fire hadn’t gone out overnight.
In this edition: Media’s market wipeout saw three broadcasters hit record lows yesterday; News Corp’s chair Michael Miller tries to reframe the platforms conversation; Nine’s chair Peter Costello puts a journo on his arse; The Brag’s Luke Girgis gets the arse; and Telstra unveils a truly distinctive ad campaign.
Happy Jelly-Filled Doughnut Day, you freaks.
When a significant post is ready to publish ahead of time, Unmade’s paying members get it first. If your job is to monitor what the trade press is saying about your company or your rivals, can you afford to be last to know?

Cheers,
