Ep.151: Decoding Political Journalism with Wendell Hussey

Dunn Street founder and Community Organiser Stephen Donnelly was joined by Betoota Advocate and Decode’s Wendell Hussey.

Wendell chats about the Betoota Advocate and their rise from rural conservative newspaper to national media juggernaut. He discusses how Betoota’s new podcast, “Decode”, aims to break down federal politics for everyday Australians who want something a little bit different.

Wendell also talks about how the media covered the federal election, how the mainstream platforms need to be held accountable to journalistic standards, and how the internet has changed the way people interact with news. 

Warning: Many F-Bombs Throughout
