Fourth Estate Radio

1st-4th October

The Fourth Estate was hot to trot this week, with live TV scandals, "Grog-Gate" and a TV appearance by the self-filtered Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy...

And did you know the week marked the 8th annual, INTERNATIONAL RIGHT TO KNOW DAY, September 28? Well MIG CALDWELL, re-examines changes to FOI laws, as well as discovering landmark precedent to promote open government and for once is celebrating our right to know..

Plus, MINA SAMANDAR, taps into the latest Australian journalism initiative, Swinburne University's: Youcommnews..a crowd-funded model of reportage with founder and Crikey blogger, MARGARET SIMONS.

Disheartened journalism students, take note! As we roll around towards end of year cadetship applications, or what little are left, CARRIE FELLNER offers up a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak media job market.

And the latest in "gate" suffixed scandal: Meet Twitter's latest enfant terrible, Grogsgamut - ie. Greg Jericho - an avid and anonymous blogger who is also an Australian journalist recently ousted by fellow Oz colleague...MATTHEW KNOTT questions our right to disguise online identity.

Mig Caldwell - Producer

Since 2010 after an MA in Journalism, Mig has been producing the show during the most juicy period of media evolution: also publishes podcasts of the show and runs the website to prove multimedia prowess...

Nathan Coates

Likes the sound of a good radio voice and can't wait until the TV fad passes over. He is a UTS journalism student and Tech editor for Reportage

Annie Wylie

Annie studies International Studies at USYD. Though she is the only non - journalist on the show, she enjoys using radio as a pickup line. This probably makes her more of a journalist than she'd like to admit.

Dylan Barber

Studying Journalism and International Studies at UTS, Dylan is earning his stripes for the Fourth Estate. He's also the resident Justin Bieber look-alike (but don't let him hear you say that).
