There are more than 24 journalism definitions in Australian statutes.

If the misinformation bill had passed last year that would have added another 2!

"Today's efforts to make journalism more serious, more responsible, and, generally speaking, nicer, are misplaced" (Schudson, 2008, p. 50).

Is friendlyjordies a journalist? Jordan Shanks says no.

So I did some investigating to see if he is right or not. Research findings via link.

Same event, different reporting.

Why though? Is it just New media vs Old media? Looking at comments, it is clear audience members prefer one over the other.

"What made Caesar most openly and mortally hated was his passion to be made king. It was this which made the common people hate him for the first time"

Two coffees. The bigger one is in front with nice latte art. The smaller one is behind on a book. The smaller one has had a few sips taken from it.

Lots of different people complimented my clothing today. This doesn't normally happen to me 🤣

This shirt design is very very popular. Too bad it's sold out. They should make more of this style

Maybe. I'm quite a low level academic in the space. But what I read in the policy docs, white paper, etc it is not a doubling up. Though my main interest is on what journalism is rather than what regulation, unions, etc claim it is ☺️
