Saturday 20th, April, 2024: Denis Muller, Centre for Advancing Journalism, University of Melb; Lehrmann v Channel 10 – Reputation of Journalism in Australia Saturday Magazine

Macca and Paul talk to  Denis Muller @DenisJMuller from the Centre for Advancing Journalism @ArtsUniMelb at the University of Melbourne, as they discuss how the Lehrmann v Channel 10 defamation case shone an unflattering light on commercial news gathering.

Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson’s victory in the defamation action brought against them by Bruce Lehrmann is the second big win inside a year for the Australian media using the defence of truth. However, it comes at a heavy cost to the reputations of the industry and the profession of journalism.
