@AlanaFos Lots of smaller orgs taking it seriously, lots of independent writers too. Hard part is discerning the good from the bad

@AlanaFos News reporting is so important, but under threat from infotainment and partisan publishers. Lots of opinion presented as news.

@AlanaFos Still vital, but under threat as old media struggles to adapt to new reality. Look at News Ltd and Fairfax outsourcing subbing

@AlanaFos It’s still not easy to build up massive audiences, but small outlets can still drive change, challenge the old order, influence..

@AlanaFos Old media required huge investment in infrastructure and distribution networks. New tech gives a platform to new players.

@AlanaFos No worries Alana, tweet away.

Prime Minister, when are you going to admit that you plan to gay marry Captain Emad? #qanda

The grasping, whining selfishness on display on #qanda tonight is nothing short of sickening. For fuck’s sake, the world doesn’t owe you.

Gloria who?

@watermelon_man Controversial now means ‘able to come to independent conclusions’
