Media Unmade – Chapter 13: Predator and Prey

Welcome to the latest edition of the Unmade podcast. Today’s edition features another extract from the audio edition of my book, Media Unmade, which is published by Hardie Grant and available online and in book stores.

We have now reached the half way point of the book’s 26 chapters. And we are at a pivotal point for the TV industry.

The chapter opens with the day the now notorious “Jacketgate” video was leaked to Mumbrella.

The action then switches to the arrival of Hugh Marks, as the newly appointed boss of Nine, and his new strategy for the TV business. He soon faces a career-threatening crisis when a 60 Minutes crew is arrested in Lebanon after they get involved in a child custody battle.
