  • 2017 Exchange of Letters Between RR and ABC Management About
    Rory Robertson August 2017 2017 exchange of letters between RR and ABC management about whether or not secret ABC investigation into Lateline’s Australian Paradox report should be available on ABC’s website Readers, I think you should be aware that professional scientists from the University of Sydney in May 2016 wrote a 36-page formal letter of complaint about Emma Alberici’s ABC TV Lateline report that shredded the credibility of their extraordinarily faulty Australian Paradox paper http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2015/s4442720.htm In September 2016, Professor Jennie Brand-Miller and Dr Alan Barclay were advised via a 15-page official ABC response that an independent Audience and Consumer Affairs (A&CA) investigation had confirmed the Lateline report to be accurate and impartial on all reported matters of fact. Last November, I requested a copy of the secret ABC report. So far, the ABC has chosen to suppress the report. Readers, I'm arguing on public-health grounds that (i) it is in the community's interest to know that Professor Brand-Miller and Dr Barclay wrote a 36-page formal letter of complaint about the Lateline report that shredded the credibility of their Australian Paradox “finding”; and (ii) the community should be allowed to know that the ABC’s formal investigation confirmed the accuracy of reports of profound flaws, including the paper’s use of fake data. Unfortunately, after being advised of the profound problems, instead of properly correcting the formal scientific record, Brand-Miller and Barclay have continued to pretend that their widely-cited paper is essentially flawless.

Abstract This project explores the attitudes of universities and media organisations towards journalism curriculum renewal. In part, the project is inspired by an apparent schism that exists between some journalists and editors on the one hand, and journalism academics on the other regarding the role of journalism training and education, specifically, where it should most appropriately be taught – in-house, that is by the media organisation, within a university environment, or elsewhere. This project provides the first comprehensive

  • The Finkelstein Inquiry: Miscarried Media Regulation Moves Miss Golden Reform Opportunity
    Vol 4 The Western Australian Jurist 23 THE FINKELSTEIN INQUIRY: MISCARRIED MEDIA REGULATION MOVES MISS GOLDEN REFORM OPPORTUNITY * JOSEPH M FERNANDEZ Laws are generally found to be nets of such a texture, as the little creep through, the great break through, and the middle-sized are alone entangled in.1 Abstract The Australian media’s nervous wait for the outcome of media regulation reform initiatives came to an abrupt and ignominious end in March 2013 as the moves collapsed. The Federal Government withdrew a package of Bills at the eleventh hour, when it became apparent that the Bills would not garner the required support in parliament. These Bills were preceded by two major media inquiries – the Convergence Review and the Independent Media Inquiry – culminating in reports released in 2012. The latter initiative contained sweeping reform recommendations, including one for the formation of a government-funded ‘super regulator’ called the News Media Council, which the media generally feared would spell doom especially for those engaged in the ‘news’ business. This article examines the origins of the Independent Media Inquiry; the manner of the inquiry’s conduct; what problem the inquiry was seeking to address; the consequent recommendations; and ultimately, the manoeuvres for legislative action and the reform initiative’s demise. This article concludes that the Independent Media Inquiry was flawed from the outset and * Head of Journalism, Curtin University. This article is developed from a presentation by the author to the Threats to Freedom of Speech Conference hosted by the Murdoch University Law School on 12 October 2012 at Perth, Western Australia.
