This week on The Fourth Estate, Mig Caldwell is joined by Ellie Schneider and Nathan Coates - two invaluable team members who contribute to the show - to bring you:
- The NT Mojo project:
AKA Northern Territory Mobile Journalists: a government funded collaboration between IVO BURUM of BURUM MEDIA and the Territory's Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education (BIITE) that saw a handful of locals armed with an iPhone and some basic reportage skills to report on the real issues occurring within their communities
- The citizen journalist and conflict zone reporting: is there enough protection:
Nathan Coates spoke to TOM MORTON of the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism (ACIJ) about the recent death of citizen journalist, MOHAMMAD NABBOUS in Libya, and why it didn't make the tally of fatalities as published by the Committee to Protect Journalists' (CPJ)
- X-Ratings for theatre?
There have been calls to implement a classification system within the performing arts world, as the new touring production of BERTOLD BRECHT'S, BAAL, features controversial scenes some have deemed unsuitable for a mainstream audience.
- Social media and citizenship
A poll conducted by the Australian National University (ANU) aimed to qualify our use of social media such as twitter and facebook and the general values attributed to the Web 2.0 era of online interaction.
