Fourth Estate

The Unified March Which Divided Australia's Media


Listen Later

A historic moment of civil disobedience took place across the Sydney Harbour Bridge last week, as hundreds of thousands of people came out to demonstrate against Israel’s actions in Gaza.

Although some media outlets chose to report on the protest with highly dramatised descriptions, authorities confirmed no arrests were made and the demonstration was largely peaceful.
The following day, Australia’s government announced a further $20 million for aid to assist with both food and medical supplies in Gaza.

Joining Tina Quinn to discuss the coverage of the protest and its political impact was Kenneth Roth (former Executive Director of Human Rights Watch), Nabil Al-Nashar (Reporter for ABC News Sydney) and Amber Schultz (Crime and Justice Reporter for The Sydney Morning Herald).

Kenneth Roth has just published a new book entitled, Righting Wrongs:

Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abusive Governments.
And stay tuned for a special message about the upcoming national conference for the not-for-profit charity, Women In Media.
