MEDIA AND POLITICS IN VICTORIA: This Sunday, 13 May, 2.00 pm at the
Bookshop
Remember Kennett shovelling sand on to cameramen? His feud with the Sunday
Age and the 7.30 report? His on-air clashes on ABC radio? What was the real
story behind Jeff Kennett's relations with the media -- and what kind of
coverage can Bracks and the ALP expect?
Find out at a panel discussion of:
'Covering Kennett, Covering Bracks -- The Media and Politics in
Victoria'.
Featuring:
Lee Burton, media commentator from RMIT;
Shaun Carney, Associate Editor of The Age;
Barry Donovan from The Melbourne Times.
Barry's new book 'Bracks & Kennett: My Part in Their Rise and Fall' will
be available.
