The Wire

Where do you get your news from? The paper? Radio? How do you know whether what you’re hearing or reading is true or not? And whether you get your information from the paper or from twitter, the question arises: what is driving the person writing the article or that post? Tonight in Adelaide a group of media experts are presenting a forum to discuss exactly that – Truth and lies in public life: the relationship between the media, mass culture and new media. Cathie King from State Manager of CPR Public Relations and Communications is on the panel. She discusses whether we can trust journalists and the press here in Australia.
