It was great to meet with fellow Melbourne Northerner, and independent journalist Antoun Issa from where we spoke about the state of legacy press in Australia, the struggles of being a mainstream media journalist, and the future of independent media in a climate of subjectivity and stenography.
A fantastic episode of @Boganintelpod with former Guardian journalist and Deepcut founder @antissa about what its like working as a legacy journalist in corporate media, and how independent media is the future.
A unique insight from a great journo.
