An envoy influencing media, coverage of PM in China + a dig from The Australian
In this episode, we take a look at Australia's antisemitism envoy and her plan to “monitor” and “advise” public broadcasters. Jillian Segal says her plan wont stifle criticism of Israel but we aren't so sure. We also have an honest conversation about the pro-Israel lobby and its influence on the Australian media, from all-expenses-junkets to Israel for top editors to those same editors punishing journalists for signing an open letter calling for fairer Gaza coverage.It’s a No From Me: Lattouf dissects the pearl-clutching media panic over Albo’s China visit, while Jan stumbles on a spicy little column in The Australian that takes a personal swipe at this very pod (thanks for listening)! And just to prove we can still see the good in the world, we shout out some media legends doing solid work.This week: Jess Harwood cartoonist Anthony Klan of The Klaxon.Support Ette Media by becoming a subscriber here.If you want to see our mugs as we yap you can watch the episode in full here.

The Age’s framing of Melbourne synagogue attack + What is an ‘activist journalist’?
In this episode, Jan unpacks The Age’s coverage of an anti-Semitic incident in Melbourne while Antoinette takes a look at a different genocide and the conspicuous absence of major coverage of the Yoorrook Justice Commission landmark findings.Plus, Jan and Antoinette pull apart the curious case of the “activist journalist” label—how it was framed, weaponised, and ultimately backfired as a centrepiece of the ABC’s defence.But the real question is, what has the media learnt from Lattouf v ABC?Support Ette Media by becoming a subscriber here.If you want to see our mugs as we yap you can watch the episode in full here.

Lattouf speaks out on ABC win, the fight and the fallout.
Antoinette Lattouf sued the ABC and won. In the very first episode of We Used To Be Journos, Antoinette joins Jan to unpack the legal showdown that not only exposed breathtaking incompetence at the broadcaster but also the hidden power and influence of lobby groups. Executives ducked accountability, lawyers flirted with racial erasure, and Lattouf's mental health history was dredged up before the country. And at the centre of it all? A protest at the Opera House that turned a journalist into a lobbyist target before she even stepped into the radio booth. You haven't heard the full story ... until now.Support Ette Media by becoming a subscriber here.If you want to see our mugs as we yap you can watch the episode in full here. Hosted on Acast.

We used to be journalists, but now we mostly just bitch about them. (Kidding. Kind of.)This weekly podcast brings you honest and original media analysis from two insiders who’ve broken plenty of news and been broken by it, too. Hosted by long-suffering journalists and even longer-suffering friends, Jan Fran and Antoinette Lattouf, We Used to Be Journos is your guide to the way the media works. Join us every Wednesday as we unpack the headlines you see, and the power you don’t. We’ll take you through the week’s sketchy editorial decisions, suspect sources and thinly veiled bigotry. We’ll show you how the media sausage is made —so you know what you’re being fed. Armed with a low tolerance for spin, zero patience for BS, and just enough humour (and delusion) to keep working in the media, We Used to Be Journos serves up hot, sharp, unapologetic media tea.Support Ette Media by becoming a subscriber here.If you want to see our mugs as we yap you can watch the episode in full here.
