Mumbrellacast Interview: Tim Burrowes on new book and more than a decade at Mumbrella
One of the things about writing a book is that it’s a great way to hide work, because you can spend a day going down a rabbit hole just to end up with one paragraph.
This week’s long-form Mumbrellacast episode is something of a farewell, as departing founder and editor-at-large Tim Burrowes joins head of content Damian Francis to chat about his book, Media Unmade, and spending more than a decade leading Mumbrella.
Burrowes, who will leave the company he began in late 2008 at month’s end, dives into the process of research and the extensive amount of interviews he conducted to create a patchwork of interlinked stories about the last decade in the media and marketing industry.
With the full title of the book being ‘Media Unmade: Australian Media’s Most Disruptive Decade’, Burrowes admits that while every decade feels like the most disruptive, the 2010s and years surrounding genuinely saw several of the biggest shifts in Australian media history.
