Hmmm … got some “issues”? You bet – mainly around finance (bet you’re all really fascinated by all that!); and fires, at the moment.
You’ll be looking for a focus for your Persuasive Oral Presentation, and a pretty good one was covered by Mediawatch on Monday, Feb 16th. You can see the report (for now) on the Mediawatch past reports site: http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/
Michael Gawenda’s response to the media’s actions is on the Crikey.com site – http://www.crikey.com.au/index.html
A great issue, in this, is a simple one – just focus on how the media carried out their tasks of reporting fairly and sensitively on the fires, and those affected by them.
Good luck!
