A Day in Carlton: Margaret Simons – Going Digital
About
Join us at Readings' A Day in Carlton, 24 hours celebrating books, culture and communityWe are delighted to have former host of ABC Radio National Big Ideas, Paul Barclay join investigative journalist and author, Margaret Simons to discuss her new book, 'Going Digital'.
'Going Digital' tells the tumultuous story of how the ABC transformed itself for the digital age, revealing the key players and controversial decisions along the way.
The ABC's transformation has been remarkable – but unanswered questions remain. Has broader coverage come at the expense of depth? Have politicians learnt anything from their attempts to intervene? Who really pulls the strings in our public broadcasters?
Drawing on candid interviews with key players and Simons's deep understanding of Australian media, 'Going Digital' is a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at one of our most beloved public institutions.
