Willy Lit Fest 2024: Can Storytelling Save Local Newspapers? with Alice Pung and Margaret Simons

Alice Pung (One Hundred Days), Margaret Simons (Tanya Plibersek) and John Weldon (writer and associate professor, Victoria University) discuss the role of community storytellers and citizen journalism in the internet age. In an increasingly digitised and globalised media landscape, many communities have lost their local newspaper. What does this mean for hyper local news, and how can storytellers help keep journalism alive.
