Fearless Curious is back!
Yeah, took us long enough - but the next Fearless Curious is locked and loaded so grab your tickets now!
It seems a lot of people are unhappy with our news media these days. Some believe our newsrooms lack cultural and ethnic diversity, leading to narrow or inaccurate coverage. Others believe journalism lacks diversity of opinion, with our biggest news brands often one-sided on contentious issues of the day.
How fair are these criticisms? Are people right to turn away from mainstream media? Are the alternatives any better? What can we do to make this influential cultural institution more reflective of society's diverse opinions?
This month, Fearless Curious welcomes journalist Marc Fennell in conversation with host Ky Chow.
When: 6:00PM (doors open) for 7:00pm, Wednesday 6 November
Where: Hyde Room, St James Hotel, 114 Castlereagh Street Sydney
Cost: (includes dinner and two drinks) $30 online, $35 at the door
