| Summary |
Directed and presented by journalist Ellen Fanning, this six-part series looks behind the scenes of some of Australia's best-known journalists and reveals the anguished ethical judgements they make, the power they wield and the fine line they walk between privacy, decency and the public's right to know. This first episode exposes something of the craft of journalism as it travels into the Fairfax empire and observes reporter Frank Walker's struggle to persuade reluctant newsmakers to go "on the record". It also includes interviews with deputy editor Peter Lynch, The Sun Herald; Kate McClymont, The Sydney Morning Herald; Liz Jackson, Four Corners, ABC TV; and presenter of SBS TV's Insight Jenny Brockie.
