  • Dear Ms Kleinig I Refer to Your Recent Phone Call to My Office And
    From: Gerard Henderson Sent: Tuesday, 14 May 2013 4:33 PM To: Xanthe Kleinig Cc: Mark Scott; Richard Finlayson; Michael Millett Subject: RE: query from Media Watch Dear Ms Kleinig I refer to your recent phone call to my office and subsequent email to me (dated 9 May 2013) advising that the ABC 1 Media Watch program “is interested in the declarations or otherwise of expert commentators from institutes and think tanks who contribute frequently to the public conversation, especially in the media”. I watched the Media Watch credits last night. I noted that Media Watch presenter Jonathan Holmes has three journalists/researchers and four librarians in addition to a production team of around ten (not including studio/camera/editing crew). In view of Media Watch’s substantial research staff, I am surprised that you do not seem to be aware of the aims and practices of The Sydney Institute. The Sydney Institute is not a think tank. Rather, it is a policy forum for debate and discussion. The Sydney Institute has no policies, does no lobbying and does not advocate causes. Speakers at the Institute, over the past six months, include Senator Christine Milne, Anthony Albanese, Tony Abbott, Senator Bob Carr and Senator George Brandis. As you should be aware, speakers address the Institute for about 30 minutes and engage in questions/discussion for a further 30 minutes. All talks delivered are published in full (subject to only stylistic editing and/or the rare elimination of defamatory material) in The Sydney Papers Online and downloaded on the Institute’s podcast.

The study is based on previous research focusing on three main areas of scholarship, drawn from a wider range of international theatres. These three bodies of work focus on: (1) factors affecting the selection, construction and presentation of international news; (2) how news editors and news directors function as gatekeepers of international news within newsrooms, and how they prioritise international news; and (3) whether cultural training occurs in Australian newsrooms, and if so, how it influences the gatekeeper’s news selection process, and through it, world news coverage in the Australian news media.

  • Monica Attard
    Monica Attard Gold Walkley Award-winning journalist, MC & Facilitator Monica Attard was one of the ABC’s most senior journalists, after a 28-year career with the national broadcaster. She served the corporation overseas and presented some of its most high profile current affairs programs. In 1990 she was posted to Moscow as Soviet Communism was collapsing. She witnessed and reported on the coup against Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, the collapse of Soviet communism and the rise of Boris Yeltsin’s cowboy capitalism. During her posting to the region, she covered countless ethnic wars within the borders of the old Soviet Union, including the first Chechen war. Monica was awarded an Order of Australia for her services to journalism in 1990. In 1991 she scooped the pool with 3 Walkley Awards for her work in Russia, including the Gold Walkley for excellence in journalism. On her return to Australia in 1994, Monica hosted ABC Radio’s PM for four years and then The World Today. In 2001 she created the award-winning radio current affairs show Sunday Profile which quickly established itself as a natural meeting place for newsmakers. The show was heard on two ABC Radio networks – ABC Local Radio nationally and ABC Radio National. Monica was awarded two Walkley Awards for Best Broadcast Interviewing for her work on Sunday Profile, bringing her total Walkley count to five. In 2006 she was appointed host of Media Watch on ABC TV and she returned for a second season in 2007. She has a law degree and is the creator and former Managing Editor of The Global Mail.

Soon after, Australian Prime Minister of the day John Howard was to follow Ashcroft’s call. The new Labor government in 2007 deployed a fresh strategy: ‘the precautionary principle’ where government justifies further intrusive measures to confront the emergencies of climate change. This silent messaging as placed in the news media, by inclusion or omission of certain facts, can be traced and exposed to reveal a quietly agreed process to influence the public to imagine the worst without solid evidence. While such hidden messages will continue to shape public opinion and cause obfuscation, journalism educators can develop learning experiences so their students can notice the detail.

  • Queen V Joseph Terrence Thomas (2006 VSCA 165)
    TO : PETER McEVOY Executive Producer, Media Watch - ABC FROM : GERARD HENDERSON DATE : 31 AUGUST 2006 Dear Peter Background As you may, or may not, recall – on a couple of occasions in the past decade you have asked me whether I would like to be considered as a presenter of the ABC TV Media Watch program. I have no idea whether I would have got the gig – frankly, I very much doubt it. However, as you will recall, on both occasions I declined to express an interest. My position was that the Media Watch format was tired. I proposed that, instead, Media Watch should have two presenters and that it should be the occasion of debate and discussion about journalism – rather than a pulpit from which a presenter lays down the Media Watch line. You indicated to me that ABC TV was committed to the current format – and that was that. Media Watch and Jack Thomas As you are aware, Media Watch devoted most of its program on Monday 28 August 2006 to fanging critics of the Victorian Court of Appeal’s decision in The Queen v Joseph Terrence Thomas (2006 VSCA 165). Monica Attard criticised – in order – The Australian (particularly editor-in-chief Chris Mitchell and legal affairs editor Chris Merritt), myself, broadcaster Alan Jones and finally Peter Faris QC. Naturally enough, she disagreed with all of the above. Then Ms Attard praised the likes of The Australian’s reporter Mike Steketee, Sydney Morning Herald columnist Richard Ackland and, in passing, the Crikey newsletter along with The Age. Naturally enough, she agreed with all of this group.
