Jess, Charlie and Rachel are joined by reporter, photographer, videographer and podcaster Preeshita Shah, who has just graduated from Melbourne Uni’s Centre for Advancing Journalism. Shah, who plans on becoming a war correspondent, shares the lessons she learnt from Chris Hedges during his recent visit, and reflects on the ways in which she and her Gen Z peers approach questions of “impartiality” and values. The team also takes some joy in the coverage of New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, over whom the mainstream media have lost their damn minds.
