Bit of a change of pace this wee
After a run of heavy stories on corruption, defence
spending and corporate tax, we looked at the Sydney shark scare. Four attacks,
one long weekend, and suddenly it’s national panic.
This episode slows things down. We look at the data,
ocean conditions and history, and how quickly a cluster of events becomes a
“crisis” once the media machine gets hold of it. It’s a story about risk,
perception and how fear gets framed.
These pieces matter too. Media literacy and context
are a big part of what we do.
And it only happens because of you. Your support lets
us cover the big investigations and the quieter stories that cut through the
noise.
Thanks for backing independent journalism.
