Talkabout

GRAHAM PERKIN AND THE FUTURE OF NEWSPAPERS
TUESDAY 3 aUGUST, 12:30-1:30pm

Newspapers are in crisis; circulation is stagnant and revenues are draining away. Mass layoffs have failed to halt the slide. Many question whether newspapers even have a future. Ben Hills looks back at a similar crisis in 1966 when TV was the predator, and Graham Perkin turned Melbourne’s The Age around to make it one of the 10 great newspapers in the world.

Walkley Award-winner Ben Hills is one of Australia’s best-known investigative journalists and foreign correspondents and has spent more than 40 years reporting the world, principally working for the Fairfax newspaper. His recently published book Breaking News: the golden age of Graham Perkin is his fifth book.

No booking required

This event is part of the SMSA’s fortnightly Talkabout series of free lunchtime seminars.
