Not the Twitter election

By Mark Bahnisch on September 22, 2010

By Mark Bahnisch on January 25, 2009

As a bit of a sequel to Helen’s post on Radio National’s travails, I wanted to draw attention to the public consultation initiated by DBCDE on the government’s inquiry into the future of the ABC and SBS. For those who [...]

The media and the motivation to blog

By Mark Bahnisch on December 30, 2008

At Ambit Gambit, Graham Young riffs off a comment made by Jay Rosen on Twitter: You know why there are bloggers, @Newshour? Because there is “safety first” reasoning in news. People get sick of it and take up their pens.” [...]

End of the Road for Surfdom; and the future of independent online media

By Mark Bahnisch on November 6, 2008

It’s sad to read that Tim Dunlop is closing down The Road to Surfdom, one of the original Australian political blogs, and one that’s been a great contributor to commentary and discussion over a sustained period of time. It’s not [...]

The future of quality journalism
