Do Jillian Segal's claims of ABC-fuelled antisemitism stack up?
About this episode
The episode discusses Jillian Segal's claims regarding antisemitism in media coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict and features insights from Jonathan Holmes.
Is the media’s reporting on Israel’s attacks on Gaza fuelling antisemitism? That’s the question facing the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion – which has been examining the role of the public broadcasters – the ABC and SBS. Appearing before the commission was Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Jillian Segal – who came out swinging at the broadcasters’ Middle East coverage, reccomending it be overseen by an independent committee. But do Segal’s claims stack up? Today, former Media Watch host and ABC Alumni board member Jonathan Holmes, on the submission ABC Alumni put to the commission, and the role of the public broadcaster in reporting on war.
