What’s this blog all about? This blog is about news, journalism, journalism education, politics and culture in an Australian setting but in a global context. It may also involve occasional outbursts of whimsy. I want it to be a forum for debate as well as a repository for my journalism, research, musings and occasional rants. So, engage with me and my ideas and let me know what you’re thinking. This is a two-way street!

Avoiding Trial by Social Media in the Jill Meagher Case
I produced this Storify on the social media issues surrounding the heartbreaking story of the rape and murder of ABC Radio's Jill Meagher.
My objective is to extend media literacy more broadly among social media users and to provide resources to help people understand the very real risks that exist when publishing comments and content about live criminal cases.
