BotW: Kim Williams picks the wrong fight; End-of-week crumbs for publishers; Goodbye WSFM, hello Gold

Welcome to Best of the Week, kicked off on the delayed VA1536 home to Tasmania after a dash into Sydney. A delay feels different when it means that the lengthy drive home through winding roads will be in the dark. Still, it beats last week’s Virgin flight where broken air conditioning left the cabin so overheated I found myself worrying the flight would be cancelled if a passenger fainted before takeoff. Bring on wonderful.
Today: Kim Williams makes an enemy, ARN Media kills an iconic brand, and new journalism grants at the end of the government’s legislative flurry.
Happy National Personal Space Day.

A 70 something year old scholar telling off 20 something year old blokes for listening to Rogan suggests KW hasn’t read the less well educated room, or learned from the Democrats’ fate with half a population.
He really did need to stick to his script, which was excellent, and (further irony) the most next-gen-audience-appealing tactic for the ABC.
