Media leaders held to account

In this session at the New News 2011 conference three Australian media leaders – Mark Scott (Managing Director, ABC), Greg Hywood (CEO, Fairfax Media) and Sophie Black (Editor, Crikey, pictured above) – answered questions from the public. They are joined by Kevin Rennie, whose question for the three media leaders via oursay.org received the most votes. Chairing the session was former broadcaster and one-time federal MP, Maxine McKew. A videocast of the session can be viewed here.

Swinburne’s Public Interest Journalism Foundation partnered with the Melbourne Writers Festival to present the New News conference, which asked the question: “What’s next for journalism?”
