Three ideas on our mainstream journalists versus 'public intellectuals" with Uni training.

By cacroker, on 08/03/2010

Great article in Saturday's paper about an Israeli academic historian who's book is creating a stir. I want to get a copy and read it to judge just how 'off' the usual vocal minority can be. Interview with Shlomo Sand. Age Sat 6 2010. Insight section p7.

Could I also direct your attention to article in same section on the magnificent Greer and the petty attack by Louis Nowra in the Monthly... does this show an editorial slippage towards poor journalism? (appropriate blog for IWD).

And lastly, same section P.9. PhD candidate from Melb Uni (Law) spells out what I think very few of us realise about "Right to Privacy" in Australia... or lack thereof legislatively. We must lobby on this, especially beginning today International Women's Day... It will help blokes too as all EO work does.
