The Big Threat: The Home Front

Having spent six weeks travelling to the US, UK, Finland, France
and Estonia meeting international experts fighting the scourge of
mis- and disinformation, Bryce returns to Australia to take stock
of the situation at home. He sits down with the Governor-General,
Sam Mostyn AC, former Labor leader Bill Shorten, the University of
Canberra’s Professor Sora Park and McKinnon’s Exec Director of
Democracy, Jay Weatherill to discover how their shared passion for
defending Australia’s civic institutions means a belief in the
urgent need for media literacy education. Links: Digital News
