CRICOS No. 00213Ja university for the worldreal R It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS Most of the ads are not about issues. They're sort of like the debates Man, who would have expected the ride we're all having right now? ... The money's rolling in and this is fun I've never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It's a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going. CBS President Les Moonves, presentation to Morgan Stanley Telecom, Media & Technology Conference, April 2016
CRICOS No. 00213Ja university for the worldreal R There is that natural tension that exists between the press and the people we were covering, but it was never like this. We were never called fake news. We were never called the enemy of the people, and that just created a totally different climate and environment that we are all trying to make sense of and trying to figure out: How do we cover the news in that kind of toxic environment? Jim Acosta, CNN White House Correspondent, quoted in Johnson, T. (2018). Inside the Intense, Combative World of Covering the Trump White House, Variety, April 2018

CRICOS No. 00213Ja university for the worldreal R Drivers of fake news on the internet 1. The costs of producing and distributing news content online have fallen dramatically, which shifts the strategic balance between clickbait and long-term brand-building as a trusted news source; 2. The formats of social media, particularly when accessed in small slices on mobile media platforms, can make it difficult to identify an articles veracity; 3. Practices of sharing, liking and commenting build upon established friend/follower networks may lead to the formation of filter bubbles.

CRICOS No. 00213Ja university for the worldreal R I think quality journalism is a scarce commodity these days and I think the discerning readers reward places that are making stories that mean something We are in a moment of national fracturing, and our expansion allows us to do a lot more of the kind of work that really is in our DNA We can double down on our coverage of Washington and this administration. We can double down on publishing the best and most interesting and thought-provoking ideas about the American future. Jeffrey Goldberg, Editor-in-Chief, The Atlantic

CRICOS No. 00213Ja university for the worldreal R The crisis of globalisation Public sentiment about globalization has taken a sharp turn. The election of Donald Trump, Brexit, and the rise of ultra-right parties in Europe are all signs of growing popular displeasure with the free movement of trade, capital, people, and information. Even among business leaders, doubts about the benefits of global interconnectedness surfaced during the 2008 financial meltdown and havent fully receded. Adi Ignatius, The Truth About Globalization, Harvard Business Review July 2017)
CRICOS No. 00213Ja university for the worldreal R Competing visions of globalisation Global cooperation, dealing with other countries, getting along with other countries is good, it's very important. But there is no such thing as a global anthem, a global currency or a global flag. This is the United States of America that I'm representing. I'm not representing the globe, I'm representing your country. (Donald Trump, speech to Conservative Political Action Committee, February 2017) Whether you like it or not, the global economy is the big ocean that you cannot escape from. Any attempt to cut off the flow of capital, technologies, products, industries and people between economies, and channel the waters in the ocean back into isolated lakes and creeks is simply not possible. Indeed, it runs counter to the historical trend. (Xi Jinping, presentation to World Economic Forum, Jan. 2017)
