Thinking of all my former colleagues in the regional, digital and audio teams who were hired as a result of the Meta and Google funding, got told we lost the jobs because they now had no money, only to find they spend $2.5 million on this

Like that feeling of consuming and digesting amazing reports, then rewriting them for podcast scripts, wow, that feels so good. And then you look at Australia’s China coverage, wow they are still reporting on what you’ve pitched five years ago

This year I haven’t done any China reporting (I don’t count chinese Australian reporting as China reporting, that’s completely different), but with my podcast production gigs I’ve just been able to work on so many quality field reporting that no one in Australia can do so. Aww.

I think it’s also because I just have so many chances to see the world this year, to work with different teams and people, and then find out there are more options and ways of being a journalist. Which is something I wouldn’t dare to think b4 resolving my visa.

…but instead I will tell myself that it’s not my problem, I’m good enough, but I probs just need to be more solution-focused mind and think about how to maximise my strength. It’s just one year but I’ve changed so much in terms of my mental health and confidence. /2

A good thing about ageing is that when I’m told I won’t move forward because of my voice, appearance and things that I can’t control, I no longer push myself to think “that’s my fault, I need to work ten times harder” and then get endless angry with myself… 1/

Reading the China coverage on WWII by Australian media makes me desperate. Can we at least just mention that back in 1945 the People’s Republic of China wasn’t even founded? That it’s actually necessary to mention ROC/Taiwan in this coverage, not merely as a China’s target, but helped the war end?

Got told by a male friend that a woman he’s talking on Hinge randomly shared my language test story with ABC’s Days Like These to him, saying she thinks that’s a good example of journalism 😱😭

Now where am I gonna find guys on Hinge that also say they like my works 🙃

Curious to know what’s the progress of ABC racism review update now that the organisation’s bonner committee - which they claim to be responsible for overseeing the implementation of recommendations - has its chair left too. @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social any chance you can dig up for Lamestream? 👀👀

I’m on Seven and Nine too!

It’s funny - because I never ever expect I will appear on TV, at least that won’t happen in Australia. Maybe this could be my new way to give TV crosses lol

Now, two weeks after this was aired, the AFP reveals a Chinese national has been charged with foreign interference for alleging collecting intelligence about a Buddhist organisation in Canberra… Another example that we always go ahead of news, and why you should listen to it:
