Canberra Writers Festival – On Disruption
Katharine Murphy In Conversation with Paul Bongiorno AO
Conflict. Clickbait. Controversy. The advent of social media and the 24/7 high octane media cycle is seemingly behind the demise of thoughtful, long-term policy making. Politics has become a shrill shouting match in a world where conflict is a commodity to be mined and marketed. In this insightful look into how the internet has shaken the fundamentals of life, Guardian Australia’s political editor Katharine Murphy writes about this disruption and asks, is there any way out of this chaos? In conversation with veteran political journalist Paul Bongiorno.
Katharine Murphy has been a journalist in Canberra’s Parliamentary Press Gallery for two decades and is now political editor of Guardian Australia. She is the host of the political podcast Australian politics live and a regular pundit on television and radio, including the ABC’s Insiders program.
