Margaret Simons talks with Jon Faine about 'Going Digital'

Margaret Simons' latest book, 'Going Digital: The Transformation of the ABC' is a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at one of our most beloved public institutions.

Simons tells the tumultuous story of how the ABC transformed itself for the digital age, revealing the key players and controversial decisions along the way – 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?

Join award-winning journalist Margaret Simons and veteran ABC broadcaster Jon Faine for a deep dive into the events, personalities and policies that have shaped today's ABC.
