Drawing On Insights From His Ringside Seat, Independent Journalist, Commentator And Mumbrella Founder Tim Burrowes Knits Together The Big Events And Conversations With Key Players Then And Now To Reveal The Drama And Tell The Stories Behind The Changes That Every Consumer Of Australian Media Has Witnessed Over The Past Decade. In This Unprecedented Account, Tim Considers How The Newspaper Rivers Of Gold Evaporated, Tv Viewers Turned To Netflix, And Radio Listeners Started Streaming Instead. He Covers How Networks Went Broke, The Abc Came Under Sustained Attack, And How News Corporation's Phone Hacking Drama In The Uk Delivered Rupert Murdoch To The Most Humble Day Of His Life.
