About
Hear Andrew Dodd and Matthew Ricketson in conversation with former ABC Radio Melbourne mornings presenter Jon Faine about their new book 'Getting Murdoched: How Murdoch’s Media Wields Power and Punishment' (Hardie Grant, 2026).Powerful, unsettling, and meticulously documented, 'Getting Murdoched' analyses the damaging effect that the weaponisation of media is having on democracy in the US, the UK and Australia. 'Getting Murdoched' is both a warning and a call to defend truth.
Andrew Dodd is a professor of journalism at the University of Melbourne, a former broadcaster at ABC Radio National, and founder of the Media Report.
Matthew Ricketson is an academic and journalist. He has headed journalism programs at three Australian universities and is a professor of communication at Deakin University.
