    Samantha Armytage axed from hosting or attending the Australia For UNHCR charity event after Kristin Davis sketch FEBRUARY 12, 20161:57PM Sam Armytage axed as host of UNHCR fundraiser Michael MorrowNews Corp Australia Network SAMANTHA Armytage has been uninvited from a charity event after yesterday’s Sex and the City skit on Sunrise with Kristin Davis backfired. The surprise decision was announced on the show this morning, after yesterday’s segment featuring the Sex and the City star drew widespread criticism from around the world and from the star herself. “I was asked to MC that event and conduct a Q and A with Kristin on stage and I immediately accepted,” Armytage said. “Since our interview yesterday, organisers have asked Sam not to host the event now or to attend it at all, that was unexpected,” Kochie added. “I always was, and I still am, very happy to host this fundraiser for such an important cause,” an upset Armatage concluded. The Sunrise hosts finished by saying they have the “utmost respect” for Kristen Davis and the Australia For UNHCR and wished them luck. “It was meant to be a bit of fun,” Kochie said. Kristin Davis took to Twitter to express her displeasure with the skit. Picture: TwitterSource:Twitter After an initial chat about Davis’s work with UNHCR, on yesterday’s show Kochie and Armytage proceeded to ask numerous questions about her TV series, which wrapped filming in 2004. The Hollywood star appeared clearly uncomfortable when they threw to a clip of her as Charlotte, her character on the show.

  • Stephen Harrington Thesis
    PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE BEYOND JOURNALISM: INFOTAINMENT, SATIRE AND AUSTRALIAN TELEVISION STEPHEN HARRINGTON BCI(Media&Comm), BCI(Hons)(MediaSt) Submitted April, 2009 For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology, Australia 1 2 STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made. _____________________________________________ Stephen Matthew Harrington Date: 3 4 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing relationships between television, politics, audiences and the public sphere. Premised on the notion that mediated politics is now understood “in new ways by new voices” (Jones, 2005: 4), and appropriating what McNair (2003) calls a “chaos theory” of journalism sociology, this thesis explores how two different contemporary Australian political television programs (Sunrise and The Chaser’s War on Everything) are viewed, understood, and used by audiences. In analysing these programs from textual, industry and audience perspectives, this thesis argues that journalism has been largely thought about in overly simplistic binary terms which have failed to reflect the reality of audiences’ news consumption patterns. The findings of this thesis suggest that both ‘soft’ infotainment (Sunrise) and ‘frivolous’ satire (The Chaser’s War on Everything) are used by audiences in intricate ways as sources of political information, and thus these TV programs (and those like them) should be seen as legitimate and valuable forms of public knowledge production.

Officials there say 1.5 million records were stolen over the weekend. BASIL ZEMPILAS: Singapore's Prime Minister was specifically targeted for his medical history, according to reports, raising the question: how easily could the same thing happen here? KYLIE GILLIES: Well, to discuss this, we're joined by the Australian Medical Association's President, Dr Tony Bartone, and digital rights campaigner and lawyer Lizzie O'Shea. Welcome to you both. Lizzie, let's start with you. I mean, uncanny this timing of the attack in Singapore, in the first week of the opt-out here. I mean, it highlights how valuable this information is to hackers, right? LIZZIE O'SHEA: Absolutely. I think when you centralise information like this, in a designed process that puts all this information in a single spot, it becomes very attractive to hackers. What we're looking at is creating a system where people will want to access it for all sorts of nefarious reasons, and we're also putting power in the hands of Government to be able to decide how that information is used.

  • Digitally Altered: Making News in the 21St Century
    Digitally Altered: Making News in the 21st Century Caja Louise Gilbert 0000-0003-3920-1662 PhD Arts February 2020 Faculty of Arts, School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Melbourne This thesis is being submitted in total fulfilment of the degree. ABSTRACT Audience research demonstrates that online news has become a dominant source of news in Australia, especially for people under 40 years of age. Australians now obtain their news from online sites – such as Yahoo!7 News and news.com.au – in preference to traditional newspapers. Such sites are very important to the future of news journalism, yet they are vastly understudied – especially in Australia. This thesis, based on a study of a major digital aggregated online news organisation in Australia, Yahoo!7 News, investigated the question: How can the study of an Australian aggregated news site (Yahoo!7 News) contribute to our understanding of digital aggregated news production? This research project collected data from observations at Yahoo!7 News, interviews with the Yahoo!7 newsworkers and a content analysis of the Yahoo!7 News site and the Yahoo!7 social networking platforms (i.e. Facebook and Twitter). The data indicates that there were three dominant issues at Yahoo!7 News related to the role of the newsworkers and newsroom practices, the production of news content and the newsworkers’ perceptions of their audience. Firstly, the newsworkers acted as gatekeepers, tightly controlling the outflow of news by limiting the involvement of the Yahoo!7 News audience with the content they generated. Secondly, success was perceived through a prism of the ‘race to be first’, which caused newsworkers to prioritise and value speed and immediacy.
