So, some time ago I was on the TV talking about media, both social and ‘old’, newspapers and the future of both. The embeddable player at the time was broken so I never got it on here and I actually forgot about it. That is, until someone sent me a YouTube link.

For the record, I was actually incredibly ill the day we filmed this at the ABC offices in Ultimo. That’s my excuse for why I look so terrible. As for what I actually say? Well, that’s all me. I would say that I was edited to put me more in opposition to Gerard Noonan, but that’s all good.

Anyway, this is it. Enjoy.

Certainly interesting to see this now, about a year and a half after it first went to air and to reflect on the fact that we’re still having many of these discussions, especially as newspapers tout tablets as their saviors and independent organisations, like the late, great New Matilda, still struggle to lock down revenue models.

All discussion at the moment is about the election, but after that dust has settled it will be interesting to look at who did the best at covering the campaign and what indicators this can have for what news organisations are doing it right, and which no longer deserve to be saved?
