Media Unmade – Chapter nine: World Is Fukt

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

Today’s chapter tells the story of Fairfax Media at rock bottom.

It opens at a deserted Domain, as the company’s new events push gets off to a disastrous start with nobody showing up for Spectrum Now festival.

The chapter recalls Fairfax Media at rock bottom in 2012 with the redundancy cull of a generation of journalists – the biggest exodus from the industry in a single day.
