Getting Murdoched

  • Free
  • Talk

Join for a conversation on Getting Murdoched: How Murdoch’s Media Wields Power and Punishment, the latest exposé from co-authors Professor Andrew Dodd and Professor Matthew Ricketson.

Powerful, unsettling, and meticulously documented, Getting Murdoched is both a warning and a call to defend truth in an age of weaponised media. Including interviews and international examples, Professors Dodd and Ricketson also analyse the damaging effect that this has on democracy in the US, the UK and Australia.
