Description

Media mania descended on Morwell this week for the murder trial and verdict of Erin Patterson, are the victims being forgotten? 

SBS is celebrating fifty years of broadcasting this year, but is it still meeting its mandate? Managing Director of the Special Broadcasting Service James Taylor is adamant that it is. 

Thirteen years on from the prank call that shocked the world, radio host Michael Christian is taking his former employer to court. Over a decade after the call and the death of a UK nurse that followed it, where does the responsibility for damage caused by media lie? 

Guest: James Taylor, Managing Director of SBS
