This week, on THE FOURTH ESTATE, we peruse over the future for bookshops; the vulnerability of journalists; atheism and good, old-fashioned quality radio features...
- Gleebooks co-owner weighs in on the debate surrounding the future of Australian book retailers in light of news that some 500 staff across the country were cut from Angus and Robertson chains.
- The Committee to Protect Journalists' CPJ offer up some rather confronting statistics that are left unreported that is the number of journalists that fall victim to sex crimes whilst on the beat.
- We explore the god-given right to advertise atheism, as is the current billboard campaign advocating the right to declare your belief system (or lack thereof) on the Census.
- Light is shed about "In the Dark": a communal project in audio appreciation that draws from an old-school appreciation of radio as evocative story-teller.
