Holmes bows out from Media Watch tonight
Long standing Media Watch host Jonathan Holmes will bow out tonight after five years hosting the ABC show.
Tonight’s episode will see Holmes break from his usual format of castigating bad journalism to celebrate the best.
Holmes is to be replaced by previous Media Watch host Paul Barry.
Tim Burrowes founded Mumbrella in 2008. He worked on Mumbrella until 2021. At various points he was editor, content director and editor-at-large.

Jonathan Holmes has put together an enjoyable show and he will be missed. However it is sad that few of the people found wanting by Media Watch do anything about lifting their game. Possibly because they are just not interested in quality or facts.

Pity Johnno didn’t practice what he preached more often. His agendas stood out like the proverbial.

Oh no! Watching Holmes and his clever witticisms for 15mins every Monday night has been a highlight! It was always a thrill to watch him level the playing field in this biased media landscape. You will be missed Mr Holmes

You are right Robbo, but the intent of the show is to point out the faults not to overlook them.

Robbo – “His agendas stood out like the proverbial” – of course they did, else what is a good journo all about? You wally. Will miss you Jonathan – I hadn’t realised it has been more than five years. You have been a gentleman in a field which has needed one, and I have appreciated you enormously as a journo myself.
