Descripción

Novara Media's Ash Sarkar knows a thing or two about starting (and growing!) an independent media company. In this special episode, the British journalist and author sits down with Antoinette Lattouf for a conversation about independent media, political journalism and the danger of "audience capture". They unpack the rise of indie media in the UK, failures of the BBC, “objectivity” in journalism, and whether mainstream media can still hold power to account. Plus: Ash’s defamation win and the pressures facing independent outlets in the age of AI. Subscribe to Ette Media [www.ettemedia.com] to support independent media. Follow Ash Sarkar on Instagram.

In this episode Jan Fran and Antoinette celebrate Spain’s win at the FIFA World Cup acknowledging they’ve probably been influenced and/or brainwashed by their algorithm which morphed the football final into an Argentina hate-fest.  Plus, they shine a spotlight on Seven’s exclusive interview with Pauline Hanson, and the decades-long role the media company has played in reviving her career and airing her views.  Also, Australia’s richest woman, Gina Rinehart doesn't like our opinion, and sent us a complaint email.

Media in focus: Antisemitism Royal Commission testimonies unpacked

The media tranche of the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion’s media block has wrapped and we’re dedicating a whole episode to breaking down what was said and - importantly - what wasn’t. We tuned in to hear the public broadcasters - SBS and ABC - face accusations of anti-Israel coverage and we look at the proposal by Jillian Segal - the Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism -  for a new body to oversee and assess the public broadcaster's coverage.  Plus we examine how the rest of the media covered the hearing and find a lot of the coverage ran with one particular line.   Support Ette Media by becoming a subscriber here.

BONUS: Miss Kaninna walking away from triple j, touring with Kneecap and her meteoric rise

In late 2023, rapper and hip hop artist Miss Kaninna made headlines when she disappeared from triple j airwaves after sharing her views on Palestinian human rights. A few weeks later, in the very same building a similar fate awaited Antoinette Lattouf. While Lattouf took her fight to Federal court, Miss Kaninna took hers on the road, touring the UK and Europe with Irish rap trio Kneecap, Miss Kaninna then made ARIAS history and featured on two billboards in Times Square. Now, for the first time, they compare notes on backlash, career highs, public pressure plus the power and freedom that comes with speaking your mind. The proud Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, Kalkadoon and Yirendali sovereign woman reflects on her meteoric rise as a woman who "says what she believes with her chest out."
