Mumbrella founder Tim Burrowes to publish Media Unmade book in July
Mumbrella founder Tim Burrowes’ first book will be published in July by one of Australia’s most respected independent book publishers Hardie Grant, the company has announced.
Media Unmade will tell the definitive story of how Australia’s media industry evolved during the most disruptive decade of its history.
Burrowes took long service leave from Mumbrella during the latter half of 2020 to complete the project, which covers the story of every major medium, including television, radio, newspapers, outdoor and magazines.
The book – which covers 2010 to 2021 – charts the interlocking stories that define the industry’s decade, including David Gyngell’s rescue of Nine, Lachlan Murdoch’s success at Nova Entertainment and failure at Ten, how the ABC squandered its technological lead, and the Bauer family’s unhappy magazine adventure.
