Fix The News - The Future of Journalism

Fix The News Live: The Future of Journalism

What happens to journalism when the old institutions fade, the newsfeed never sleeps, and trust in the media hits record lows? How do we keep telling the truth—and make people care?

Join Fix The News editor Angus Hervey and creative director Amy Rose for a live podcast recording and community gathering in Sydney with David Leser, one of Australia’s most accomplished journalists. Over a remarkable 46-year career, David has reported from the Middle East and Washington, written for Good Weekend, The Bulletin, The Australian Women’s Weekly and The Sydney Morning Herald, and earned two Walkley Awards, including for his searing analysis of the Israel-Gaza war. He’s also the author of seven books and the producer of the acclaimed documentary Paul Kelly: Stories of Me.

This is a rare chance to hear from a master storyteller who has witnessed the transformation of journalism from the analogue age to the algorithmic one - and to meet other Fix The News readers in real life, away from the scroll.

Date: Wednesday 3 December, 6-8pm

Venue: The London Hotel, 85 Underwood St, Cnr of William St, Paddington NSW

Guest: Author & Journalist, David Leser

Cost: $20

An evening of stories, perspective, and good company, celebrating the craft, the chaos, and the future of journalism.
